REVIEWS:

"Lick It! Is the funniest, most helpful book on food addiction I've yet seen. It should be must reading for anyone who is living with or is friends with a food addict (which is probably the majority of the population!)."
— Christiane Northup, MD, author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom.

"Light-hearted, fun, scientific-does this really describe a book on appetite disorder? It does when Anne Katherine is the author. This is the most fun you'll ever have learning the brain chemistry that causes people to overeat, and how to help them. If you've ever wondered what to do when someone you love keeps gaining weight, this is the answer…"
