"The author of New York Times bestseller Body-for-Life for
Women presents a groundbreaking, neuroscience-based program
to rewire your food-addicted brain and get the body you
deserve. The bodys' built-in reward system, driven by the
chemical dopamine, is a fascinating adaptation: It tells us
to do more of the things that give us pleasure. Creative
energy, falling in love, entrepreneurship, and even the
continued propagation of the human race are driven by this
system . . . just as is, unfortunately, the urge to overeat.
In The Hunger Fix, Dr. Pamela Peeke uses the latest
neuroscience to explain how unhealthy food and behavioral
"hooks" have gotten us ensnared; indeed, she shows that
dopamine rushes in the body work exactly the same way with
food as with cocaine. Luckily, we are all capable of
rewiring, and the very same dopamine-driven system can be
used to reward us for healthful, exciting, and fulfilling
activities. The Hunger Fix makes this possible by laying out
a lifelong, 3-stage plan that starts with a 3- to 4-week
jump start to break so-called destructive fixes and replace
them with healthier actions. Fitness guides, meal plans, and
recipes are constructed to bolster the growth of new neurons
and stimulate the bodys' reward system. Gradually, healthy
fixes like playing games, meditating, having sex, going for
a run, laughing, and learning a new language will replace
the junk food, couch time, and other bad habits that leave
us unhappy and overweight"--
