Food addiction is very similar to any other addiction and if you suddenly stop you, too, can get withdrawal symptoms. During withdrawal you would get craving like other addicts. The craving can be so severe that you can have actual cramps, depression, tremors and even experience severe self-hatred. Food addiction is, therefore, required to be treated in a similar way as alcohol or drug addiction is treated. Consult a counselor and find out a suitable therapy center for your food addiction treatment .
