| The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting the Instincts That Make Us Overeat by Stephan J. Guyenet; illustrated by Shizuka N. AokiIn The Hungry Brain, author Stephan Guyenet poses a conundrum: why are obesity rates soaring despite increased education about the dangers of overweight? The answer, he says, is that our brains are hardwired to overeat -- the remnant of a now-irrelevant survival mechanism from millions of years in the past. He also summarizes research on the functions of insulin, how appetite works, and the importance of sleep. The last chapter, "Outsmarting the Hungry Brain," brings together all the factors, explaining in six easy guidelines how to resist when the brain calls out for overconsumption. Publishers Weekly calls this book "fun, insightful, and important." |
