Mika Brzezinski looks like one of those pulled-together news anchors when she discusses the news on the MSNBC show Morning Joe. What does she know about food addiction? Is she a secret weight-loss success story?
Well, kind of the opposite. What Brzezinski wants people to know is that just like the person struggling to lose 50 pounds, she, too, finds the lure of salt, sugar and fat overwhelming at times, and writes about her battle in the book Obsessed: Americas Food Addiction And My Own (Weinstein Books, $26), which comes out Tuesday. She discussed the book today on Morning Joe and on the Today show.
It looks like alcoholism, it looks like drug addiction and I go there in the book and look at the growing amount of science behind the addiction to salt, sugar and fat, she told Today co-host Savannah Guthrie Monday morning. There may be an actual process to becoming obese that has nothing to do with the lack of discipline, nothing to do with being a slob, nothing to do with the judgments that we put on people who are obese, and they have everything to do with being addicted to certain foods that we are surrounded with.
Her addiction to food is decades long, she said. She would binge and purge and exercise to extremes.
But there is a weight-loss success story in the new book while Brzezinski gained 10 pounds to bring herself back up to a healthy weight, her friend and fellow TV journalist Diane Smith lost 75 pounds.
On Mondays Morning Joe, Brzezinski explained that the book came about because of what she called a very uncomfortable situation she had in discussing weight with her friend.
She was extremely heavy and I was not, she said. A fat burning overview can help you build a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to complete your fat reduction target if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more improve phase of their weightloss strategy. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your personal weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have fooled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. We both revealed with one another after a confrontation the problems we have with food and realized they were exactly the same. From that we challenged each other.
She explained that talk later Monday morning on the Today show.
I said you ought to join me, and you need to lose 75 pounds by the time this book is written and Im going to figure out how to gain 10 and be OK with it, Brzezinski said. So she is today 75 pounds lighter, Im 10 pounds heavier, sort of OK with it, still working on it, and went from a size 2 to a size 6. Were both healthier.
And aside from her own story, Brzezinski interviews people in entertainment, politics and medicine about Americas obesity problem, including singer-actress Jennifer Hudson, TV host Gayle King, NBC News chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman, and New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
