Life Changing!

Awesome! This book fully explores the reasons diets don't work and size really matters! It is nutrition and brain chemistry made easy and fun! You will understand why you have repeated self defeating patterns in the past and replace guilt with the knowledge and tools necessary to make powerful changes starting today!! I don't know anyone else who can make brain science exciting. Keep it up Dr. Amen!

Change Your Brain, Change Your Body is a must read!

I never realized how much my brain chemistry has to do with my body, especially in dealing with food addiction and weight loss. I have learned that I cannot live my life switching from diet to diet but that I must make a complete lifestyle change that will support the brain/body connection. In this book Dr. Amen taught me how our society lies to us about food consumption! Is risking our health by supersizing or eating at buffets really worth the few dollars that we save? To me, No! Since finishing this book, I have begun making permanent changes in my life and am already noticing a dramatic difference! My moods have improved and I've already noticed an increase in my energy level. The concepts in this book are simple, yet so practical and effective! This is a must read!
