Your brain might be currently set up to promote overeating.

How?

Differences in brain chemistry and structure can lead some people to have a larger dopaminedriven drive to seek out rewarding food.

PLUS other differences can lead to less of an ability to override this potent wanting of food making it feel nearly impossible to resist our ridiculous food environment.

Sprinkle in the emotional toll of being a human and all the fun memories we have around food, and there's no real surprise that so many of us have a difficult time eating in a way that promotes health and perhaps helps us reach our goals.

Oh, and did I mention that these obesitypromoting changes in the brain have a strong genetic basis?

...OKAY, enough with the notsogreat news.

The good news is that once we are aware of and accept the fact that eating moderately is more difficult for some people and that that's not our fault! we can use this knowledge to build systems that help us eat more healthfully.

On this episode of The New Weight Paradigm, I go over the science of overeating and suggest strategies that you can play with to help you eat more moderately so you can feel amazing in your body.
