All you cerebrally inclined folks, take heart. According to author Eric Braverman, MD, the brain has the unique ability to help people lose weight and reverse aging while fighting disease. This is what the Younger Thinner You Diet is all about.
“Understanding your brain chemistry can help you lose weight” – that’s the tagline of the book, and it explains how the book is going to deal with the complicated procedure of weight loss. According to Braverman, weight loss becomes possible, no, inevitable, when people grow new brain cells that have been hardwired to boost metabolism and burn calories.
To help followers put this theory into practice Braverman has divided his diet plan into three phases:
In the first phase, readers learn how the brain influences weight loss. From this, they can understand how to boost the production of chemicals that enhance the power of the brain. The author talks about serotonin, dopamine and other chemicals that play a vital role in controlling food addiction and cravings.
This first section contains a self-assessment quiz that helps identify their chemical deficiencies. The quiz is practical and quite accurate with its results.
According to the author, chemical balance can be achieved by taking in certain kinds of food. So, in the second phase, the author leads us to foods that boost metabolism and help weight loss. These include herbs, spices, herbal teas and so on, which increase the production of certain chemicals in the brain. Some of the recommended foods also help reduce stress and fight cravings.
In the third phase, the author talks about a topic of acute interest to most people – how to arrest or delay the aging process and get rid of roadblocks that prevent weight loss.
The recommended diet contains high volumes of protein and low amounts of carbs. The author recommends taking in about 9 servings of fruits and vegetables. Metabolism enhancing spices are included with every meal.
There is a section that also deals with health conditions like arthritis and heart diseases.
Exercise is given due importance as this boosts metabolism and burns calories.
