Always Hungry, Part 1
March 22, 2016
Are you “Always Hungry?” That’s the title of a new book by Harvard endocrinologist and researcher, Dr. David Ludwig. What’s the true basis for food craving? Why doesn’t “calories in, calories out” explain why people retain and gain weight? How can it be that, as Dr. Ludwig states, “Overeating doesn’t make you fat”? Why isn’t intense exercise a panacea for overweight? What crucial roles do insulin and inflammation play in obesity? How does the Always Hungry Solution address the true causes of weight gain? Dr. Ludwig issues an urgent call to action to provide our kids with a "safe zone" against the toxic food environment to which they’re continually exposed, to save them from our current epidemic of childhood obesity--which is ushering in a disease crisis among our adult population.
