If you want to change your stomach, you need to focus on your head.   \u201cThe greater variety of the types of foods that we have available to us, the more calories we will tend to eat at a meal, and we won\u2019t even necessarily feel any more full.\u201d - Dr. Stephan Guyenet   What we discuss in this episode: - Dotsie\u2019s experience at the Plant-Based World Conference & Expo - How convenience, cost, and the palatable seduction of food have contributed to higher rates of obesity - Why do we have a greater eating drive than we did only a century ago? Dr. Stephan Guyenet explains how our ability to concentrate dopamine-releasing ingredients is qualitatively similar to the creation of crack cocaine  - The evolutionary mismatch: How our ancestors' drive to survive is working against us today - What do genetics have to do with our body composition and our penchant for overeating - Why you should focus on diet before exercise if you\u2019re hoping to lose weight - Understanding the two systems of our brain and why activities like exercise require overcoming the effort barrier of System 1 and thinking with System 2 - The fat regulatory system, the starvation response, and why \u201ccalories in, calories out\u201d is not as simple as counting numbers on a nutrition label - The two things that slow your metabolic rate and what you can do about them - Simple things you can try to overcome your body\u2019s starvation response and limit your habit of overeating   Resources: - Website: StephanGuyenet.com   \u2605\u2606\u2605 Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! https:\/\/switch4good.org\/add-soy-act\/ \u2605\u2606\u2605 Share the website and get your resources here https:\/\/kidsandmilk.org\/ \u2605\u2606\u2605 Send us a voice message and ask a question.
