Managing your weight requires perfectly orchestrated communication between our brain and our body—that is, between our food signals, our eating behaviors, and our metabolism. If these exchanges are unbalanced by stress, emotions and unsuitable habits, the head takes over physiological needs: we then eat without hunger, resulting in an excess of fat, the famous "stress pounds" or "emotional pounds", which are difficult to get rid of using a traditional approach.In this book, Cathy Assenheim helps us understand why we gain weight despite our efforts.It offers practical solutions to reconnect our brain to the sensations of hunger and satiety (in order to match food intake to real needs) and optimize our metabolism by removing the biological obstacles to weight loss thanks to concrete advice: food supplements, stress management, improved sleep, etc.
