The Hungry Brain

No one wants to overeat. And definitely not for years, becoming overweight and ending up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease - yet an alarming number of us are doing just that. For many of us, it's not a lack of willpower, but rather that our appetites and food choices are being led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits, following the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience and explains why the brain undermines our weight goals - transforming these scientific truths into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim.
