Publisher's summary
No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Michael Moss’ Hooked in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
1. Ancient Romans coined the term addico to mean "giving over”. It was also linked to devotion, a usage that quickly morphed into the concept of binding oneself to a person or cause. By the sixteenth century, addiction was employed as a noun to narrate lust and passion of all sorts.
2. One of the earliest recorded uses of the noun addict was in the context of food and drink. A physician cited exuberant eating as a bigger concern than alcohol in an 1899 volume of the Illinois Medical Journal.
3. Drug misuse had overtaken alcohol as a social threat by the twentieth century. When a person's urge to use a substance was compulsive, as in obsessive and uncontrollable, he or she was completely addicted. The word habit was better suited to the need for a sense of well-being.
4. When scientists learned more about drugs, they found that their results differed from person to person. Some people are able to use medications without developing an addiction. Others become addicted even though they just use a small amount.

Story
Sixty-eight percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90 percent of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66 percent of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others.

Are you in a lifelong battle with diets? Are you overeating during periods of stress? This audiobook will guide you through a holistic approach that has nothing to do with diets. Intuitive eating teaches you to establish a deep connection with your body on the assumption that the body has its own intelligence and knows when and how to eat. Its primary purpose is not to lose weight, what matters is not seeing the pounds on the scale, but feeling better, healthier, and full of energy.

Don’t allow binge eating to control your life: The key to food freedom may not be what you think. We all occasionally overeat an extra helping of dessert or a second serving of a holiday meal, but there is a difference between overeating and binge eating. People who struggle with binge eating often consume large quantities of food to the point of feeling overly full, eat a lot without feeling hungry, feel a lack of control, and they become trapped by cycles of bingeing that undermine their health and weight loss goals.

When it was first published, Intuitive Eating was revolutionary in its anti-dieting approach. The authors, both prominent health professionals in the field of nutrition and eating disorders, urge listeners to embrace the goal of developing body positivity and reconnecting with one’s internal wisdom about eating—to unlearn everything they were taught about calorie-counting and other aspects of diet culture and to learn about the harm of weight stigma. Today, their message is more relevant and pressing than ever.

Intuitive eating is a new way of life. It doesn’t begin with a list of rules, restrictions, and guides to follow. Nor does it require you to stock up on a new group of supplements, specific food items, or "lose weight quick" guides. The psychological impact of intuitive eating is powerful. It aims to remove the barriers of foods you eat versus foods you are not permitted to have and puts the decision-making in your mind and body.

Why are you captivated by some people but not by others? Why do you recall some brands yet forget the rest? In a distracted, overcrowded world, how do certain leaders, friends, and family members convince you to change your behavior? Answer: fascination, the most powerful way to influence decision-making. It's more persuasive than marketing, advertising, or any other form of communication. And it all starts with seven universal triggers: lust, mystique, alarm, prestige, power, vice, and trust.

Story
Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. But somehow we get stalled. We start on a weight-loss program with good intentions but cannot stay on track. Neither the countless fad diets, nor the annual spending of $50 billion on weight loss helps us feel better or lose weight. Too many of us are in a cycle of shame and guilt. We spend countless hours worrying about what we ate or if we exercised enough, blaming ourselves for actions that we can't undo.
