How are our food habits determined by our environment, and what can we do about it? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Going on \"another diet\" is never going to solve your food, diet, or over-eating issues. You're not going to maintain your weight or weight loss on yet another fancy diet with restrictions and rules. Going on another diet addresses the \u003ci\u003esymptom\u003c\/i\u003e, not the cause, and in doing so, can actually make matters worse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book gets to the root causes behind your food, eating, or weight issue. \u003cb\u003eIf you struggle to keep weight off, or if you struggle to stick to a diet for longer than a few weeks, this book is for you.\u003c\/b\u003e It's about addressing your habits and the underlying causes behind your food issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the modern world, we are seeing raising body weights, an increasing prevalence of food addiction, overeating, and eating disorders. The previous \"unconscious mechanisms\" that kept our body weights in check have disappeared. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart One\u003c\/b\u003e addresses all the various ways things are stacked against us in our modern world. It discusses the \u003cb\u003ereward center of the brain\u003c\/b\u003e, and how it interacts with various modern environmental and cultural influences that cause things like food addiction and overeating. It talks about how our bodies are evolved to fight \u003ci\u003eagainst\u003c\/i\u003e fat loss, and prefer weight gain. It talks about recent changes in food industry, and the ways in which it specifically engineers \"hyper-palatable\" foods that have a very specific effect on your brain and your psychology. It discusses the importance of cues, your emotions, stress, and what every person needs to be \u003cb\u003e\"aware\" \u003c\/b\u003e of if you are going to truly solve your food, dieting, or weight issues. The main argument here is that a food or eating issue is actually \u003ci\u003erarely\u003c\/i\u003e a metabolic issue. Most of the time there are other things at play. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart Two\u003c\/b\u003e is all about \u003ci\u003esolutions\u003c\/i\u003e to food, dieting or over-eating issues. The solutions are not metabolic, or about going on another diet. This section is about higher (self) awareness, the truth about behaviour modification and habit reversal, and what it truly takes to get rid of an eating or food issue. There are no \"one-size-fits-all\" simple recipes for this kind of thing -- because each food issue is unique, so too will each solution be unique (even if the principles underlying the solutions are the same). Part Two is about becoming more aware, and learning to listen to your own body, your brain, and your thoughts, to achieve a higher level of food awareness. There are specific instructions you can follow, with advice about applying them to your own situation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Metabolism\u003c\/i\u003e includes: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - A special questionnaire to address the specifics of \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eyour\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e food, dieting, or eating issues \u003cbr\u003e - The \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003ebiology of weight control and metabolism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - The emotion of food, and the cognitive associations your brain creates\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003e\"Habit Reversal\" \u003c\/b\u003e How to reverse unwanted habits\u003cbr\u003e - How to tell if you have a real food addiction to a specific food\u003cbr\u003e - How \"another diet\" will never solve your current issues\u003cbr\u003e - Five Steps to Food Freedom\u003cbr\u003e - How to use the essential principles of behaviour modification for your food issue \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eGet \u003ci\u003eBeyond Metabolism\u003c\/i\u003e now, and become more aware of of what's REALLY affecting your food eating habits and behaviour, and what you can do about it \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42116452450439,"sku":"9781514195697","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6e3f2f671414bc841e2e2140570727ce.webp?v=1732516340","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/beyond-metabolism-how-your-brain-biology-and-the-environment-create-and-perpetuate-weight-issues-and-what-you-can-do-about-it-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
