?The Trouble With Dieting - Dr. Braverman

To my mind, diets that do not address brain
chemistry fail for two reasons, which
are First, when you restrict certain
macronutrients (like carbs or fat), your brain
isn't getting all the nutrients it needs, so the
body sends out a hunger signal that results in
overeating. Instead, my key to weight management
is not found in counting carbohydrates, fat
grams, or calories
but, instead, in balancing brain chemistry
through nutrition - something anyone can do
easily and effectively. It is an eating plan you
can follow for life.   Second, when we diet, we
often deprive ourselves of vital nutrients, so
our mental state becomes taxed and we make bad
food choices. We are too fatigued, so we eat to
boost our energy. We are depressed, so we eat
excessively to force sleep. These mental states
are aging you far beyond your chronological age.
The good news is that by following a diet that
enhances brain chemistry, each of these mental
states can be completely reversed naturally.
That's why my Younger (Thinner) You Diet is all
about.

On the Younger (Thinner) You Diet, you will not
only lose weight because your are increasing your
brain chemical, Dopamine, but as you balance your
brain, you will also become more fit as you
increase another brain chemical - Acetylcholine.
You will become calmer as you learn to stabilize
your GABA. And you will be happier and sleep
better with more Serotonin.   The Basics of the
Younger (Thinner) You Diet Make sure that you
are eating foods that are nutrient dense, rather
than calorie dense. This is key in maintaining
weight loss and a balanced brain chemistry. You
want every square inch of your food to be packed
with nutrients, not calories. The Younger
(Thinner) You Diet offers hundreds of good
choices complex carbohydrates, which include
lots of fruits and vegetables lean meats
healthy fats wonderful herbs and spices that are
chock-full of thermogenic nutrients including
antioxidants and soothing, healing teas. A diet
rich in these will naturally provide plenty of
fiber to aid in digestion. They are also
considered "high volume" You can eat lots of
them and feel full because they take up space in
your stomach, yet they are still low in calories.

Best of all, you can eat healthy-sized portions
of these foods and still lose weight, because the
nutrients-to-calorie ratio is the highest of any
diet around. You won't feel hungry all day, and
at night, you'll sleep well. Not only has this
way of eating been proven to improve the way you
use and burn your food, but these foods support
an anti-aging strategy to get you feeling
healthier and younger.
