How Not To Diet - Week Nineteen with Kathy Taylor - How our brains are wired
Updated: Dec 20, 2022
Our brains are not wired to recognize liquid calories, yet sugary drinks have been blamed as the largest single driver of the obesity epidemic. Dr. Greger’s research shows many benefits of consuming solid, intact food over liquid. Unprocessed, intact grains and beans especially have more satiating fiber and bulk to feed our hunger as well as our good gut bacteria to boost our immune systems, reduce inflammation and improve weight loss and long term weight management.
Join Kathy Taylor on a video journey through the landmark book on reversing the world-wide Obesity Epidemic, How Not to Diet by Dr. Michael Greger. Whether you need to lose 50+ pounds or that last pesky five pounds, Dr. Greger’s evidence-based “tips, tricks, hacks and tweaks” for healthy, fast tracked weight loss will be a support to help you achieve your goal.
