Take Control of Your Hunger and Lose Weight Fast


In today's world, hunger is often the last reason why we eat. A variety of factors—from processed foods, to environmental toxins, to social conditioning—have disrupted our body’s natural hunger and satiety cues and re-engineered our bodies for hunger, cravings, and weight gain. But many of us are crying out: Enough is enough! It’s time to take control and kick the overeating cycle.

BEAT OVEREATING NOW! [Fair Winds Press, June 2012 $16.99 US/$18.99 CAN] by Dr. Scott Isaacs utilizes the latest research on what reallycontrols our appetites and provides a step-by-step plan for fixing faulty metabolism and appetite controls while working with the body's natural hunger and weight loss triggers to beat overeating easily and permanently. Throughout the book Dr. Isaacs provides helpful tips and suggestions for changing eating patterns which include:
  • Turn down the thermostat to boost metabolism – Turning down the thermostat by just a couple of degrees forces your body to burn more calories to generate body heat. You can burn an extra 100 calories per day.
  • Avoid “obesogens.” – Obesogens are chemicals and toxins that act as “environmental endocrine disruptors” to imitate and disrupt hormones resulting in weight gain. BPA is the most well know, but there are others as well.
  • Spice up your meals to boost metabolism – Chili peppers contain capsaicin, black peppers contain piperine, and other spices contain substances that boost metabolism and aid with fat burning
  • Get better sleep –There is a growing body of research linking poor sleep to weight gain.
  • Ditch the diet soda – Artificial sweeteners cause increased hunger and sugar cravings hindering weight loss.
BEAT OVEREATING NOW! just may be the game changer that will help readers finally break their poor overeating habits and get back on track to a healthy, responsible eating schedule.
