I just saw this guy on The Rachel Ray show this morning. I hardly watch tv shows during the day. This book and what he talked about makes a lot of sense. He talks a lot about how we think about food. Though not everyone does the same things. That we need the right formula (diet,exercise) for the type of brain we have. For example if we have a lot of anxiety when it comes to eating. We need to be on a well balanced diet. eating 4 to 5 small meals a day. lean protein.carbs and supplements too. Taking a fish oil pill is really important. He talks about 5 different ways people think about food. If there impulsive, depressed. anxiety, ect..
