Neuroscientist and author Michael Graziano is our guest today in Episode 1089 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”
Today we have an interview for you that goes
a bit deeper into the psychology behind hunger and weight loss.
What if it has little to nothing to do with blood sugar, insulin,
or a gurgling in your stomach and is all in your head. This is the
hypothesis of a Professor of Neuroscience at Princeton University
in New Jersey named Michael Graziano who
wrote a thought-provoking column for Aeon called
The hunger mood that caught Jimmy's attention. He concludes
that losing weight and capturing control of hunger and cravings has
little to do with anything except your state of mind, your mood,
and that we're all at least a little hungry all the time. Michael
wrote a book in 2013 about his general thinking on this subject
entitled
Consciousness and the Social Brain. Although the book
itself doesn't specifically address hunger and weight loss, Jimmy
and Michael dive deeply into this fascinating subject that might
run counter to what you've always believed about how the body and
brain works. This is one fascinating discussion you don't want to
miss!
