Description
No one wants to overeat. And even more so, no one wants to do it for many years, getting heavier and heavier, acquiring diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. And yet, one third of Russians do it every day!
Why can’t we stop—even realizing we have a problem? Dr. Stefan Guyenai, a neurobiologist from the United States, believes it’s all about epigenetics. Our appetite and food choices are “misled” by ancient, well-trained instinctive brain circuits. After all, as it was 1000 years ago, it still plays by the rules of “survival”—rules that don’t exist anymore today.
“The Hungry Brain” will help the reader understand why and how our brain prevents us from losing weight, and it will lay out ways to “trick” our habits and instincts. Along the way, it will explain how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.
