The Neuropsychology of Weight Control

Here, finally is a fat loss program that works! The Neuropsychology of Weight Control is a powerful audio based weight loss system that provides a scientific and successfully tested method for reprogramming your metabolism and getting the healthy, lean, and firm body you've always wanted -- without diets, pills, and other worthless gimmicks.

The terrible truth about diets. To understand why this program works, you have to understand why diets don't work. Diets are ineffective because they trigger your body's defenses against starvation. When you deprive your body of food and nutrients, your brain signals your metabolism to slow down. Your brain triggers your intestine to produce the appetite sttimulating hormone ghrelin. Ghrelin acts as a sort of chemical room-service call to the brain for more energy. In other words, people who try to shed pounds by depriving themselves of food through crash diets are fighting against a feedback mechanism that becomes more insistent the more weight they lose.

Consider the symptoms of dieting. You get hungrier, so you're tempted to eat. You get tired, so you move less and burn up fewer calories. You lose several pounds of weight easily (mostly water and lean muscle tissue ) then you suddenly find yourself at a plateau. This is because diets encourage the loss of lean muscle tissue—the main furnace where fat can be burned. Discouraged, you give up and gradually get fatter than you were before you started your fruitless effort.

In your desperation to lose you you may have fallen prey to miracle pills and powders that promised fast weight loss. Or machines that electrically stimulated your muscles. They all failed you. Why? Because there are no miracle cures.

Is there anything that works? A few years ago, three obesity experts at Brigham Young University began experimenting with a new method of weight control based on the discovery of a mechanism in your brain called a setpoint or "fat thermostat."

It is a primitive mechanism meant to guard against starvation that is programmed to maintain your present weight at all times and under all conditions.

When you go on a low calorie diet (below 2000 calories a day) or try to force your body to lose weight, your setpoint interprets it as starvation. Through hunger stimulated by ghrelin production and a lowering of your metabolic rate, the setpoint fights to maintain your weight. Your setpoint actually goes up a notch. You gain all the weight back you've lost on the diet and more.

Dennis Remington, M.D. and Garth Fisher Ph.D. encouraged their patients to eat enough (up to 3,500 calories per day) of nutrient-rich food that may help block the production of ghrelin and to do a form of non-strenuous exercise that would build fat burning lean muscle tissue The results were amazing. Patients who had dieted unsuccessfully for years and were chronically obese began to lose weight steadily and easily. And more Importantly, they kept it off!

The Neuropsychology of Weight Control program will show you, step-by-step, how to use these powerful new principles to reprogram your "fat thermostat." It will give you insight into how your body burns and stores fat, tell you how to develop the motivation you need to sustain your lasting weight control effort, introduce you to the fat burning foods and non—strenuous exercise patterns discovered by the BYU doctors—reprogramming your metabolism for lasting weight loss.
