Waistland: A Revolutionary View Of Our Weight And Fitness Crisis

Sugary and fatty foods used to be hard to come by but now they're as close as the vending machine down the hall. Radical changes are necessary and, fortunately, are biologically easier than small or gradual changes in diet. In 'Waistland', Harvard psychologist Deirdre Barret tells us how to reprogram our bodies, break food food addictions and ignore our attraction to 'supernormal stimuli' - artificial creations appealing to our instincts more than the natural objects they mimic. Barrett delves into scientific research to show the disastrous direction in which our instincts have led us, and how, using our intellect, we can get back on course.
