Heavy Brain: How your mind affects your waistline

When it comes to weight loss we all believe the same lie: we must focus on diet and exercise factors in order to change our bodies. While on the surface, this is true, it does not address the actual barrier between us and success. The issue of choice making. We know that eating a salad is better than eating a pizza. We know that going for a walk or hitting the gym is better than sitting on the couch and watching the television. We know that overeating, late night snacking, and social indulgences prevent us from reaching our goals. We don’t need another book telling us to ‘eat this, avoid that, and start doing these exercises’. The real question we need to ask is ‘why can we not make healthy choices and stop making unhealthy choices, consistently, in order to achieve our health and fitness goals’? In this Bestselling book, Tommy Caldwell and Dr.Laura Caria argue that our evolutionary biology combined with our modern need for unhealthy self-medication (via food, alcohol, laziness, and technological distraction) is at the root of our health and fitness failures. Their book teaches you how to address the true underlying reasons for constant failures in your health and how to implement the strategies that will make your diet and exercise efforts work for you, forever.
