Why Your Brain Wants To Overeat with Stephan J Guyenet – Ep. 273
Why Your Brain Wants To Overeat with Stephan J Guyenet
Speaker, Science Consultant, Founder of Red Pen Reviews, and Author of The Hungry Brain, Stephan J Guyenet, joins me to discuss how the way we live today has impacted the food we eat, how often we eat, and why the brain wants us to overeat.
Join us in this podcast episode as Rob and Stephan J Guyenet discuss:
- Where hunger comes from.
- What we know and what we continue to learn about our eating habits today.
- Why we have such a hard time maintaining our weight or stopping ourselves from overeating.
- Why our brain and body work the way they do to hold onto fat and keep us overweight.
- Several factors that are suspected or known to move the bodyweight set point.
We also discussed his health book reviewing website, Red Pen Reviews, why it will help you find the right books to read, and why other reviews like that from Amazon are basically worthless.
