Book description
Get your brain fit--and your body will follow!
Conventional wisdom has always been that in order to lose weight,
you need to eat less and move more. But skyrocketing obesity rates
tell us that it's not that simple. If you really want to get in shape
and stay that way, you need to start at the top--with your brain.
The latest research in neuroscience shows that the brains of
overweight people are different than the brains of lean people--and
not in a good way. Yet, you can train your brain to think like those
skinnier counterparts--and leverage that brainpower to drop those
extra pounds for good. In Train Your Brain to Get Thin, you'll
learn how to:
- Control hunger levels to reach and maintain
optimum weight
- Defeat emotional eating at its core
- Feed the brain the nutrients it needs for optimal
performance
- Trick the brain into working for, not against,
weight loss
- Get "addicted" to exercise, not
food
- And much, much more!
Train Your Brain to
Get Thin combines the latest research in both neuroscience and
human behavior to give you the brain-changing program you need to get
fit, look good, and feel great--for life!
