This book shows you how to lose weight and become friends with your body and eating habits.
I'm Losing It—and My Genes Don't Fit is a rich source of accessible, validating, and practical methodologies for losing and managing weight and maintaining a healthy relationship with food. Neuropsychologist Mark Steinberg offers a healthy weight-loss strategy that incorporates an understanding of how to counteract and overcome the role of genetics in weight gain and obesity with methods backed by science and medical advancements, technologies, and discoveries—and proven as well in his own personal experience.
Dr. Steinberg explains the causes of obesity and eating problems simply and scientifically according to physiological, psychological and neurological principles, and environmental influences. He describes the interactions and relationships between brain and gut and the critical role of managing blood sugar. He shares brain self-regulation and self-soothing techniques that reduce stress and emotional eating, ways to eliminate self-sabotage and cravings, how to counteract food addictions and “overeating” habits, and what to consider regarding the use of weight-loss medications. These practical applications of effective behavior modification steps and reasonable lifestyle tweaks, along with new technologies, work with the brain to change our habits and achieve positive changes in our body and health.
