The best-selling author of Younger You now reveals a dramatic new diet-based on breakthrough discoveries about how various foods affect brain chemistry -that can actually reverse the aging process. New research in nutrition and weight loss has revealed an amazing discovery: the brain-virtually neglected in all other diet plans-is the most important organ in dieting. Dieters can actually lose weight by eating foods, nutrients, teas, and spices that change the chemical balance of the brain for permanent weight loss-a major factor contributing to how quickly the body ages. In fact, everyone can take years off their age by changing their brain chemistry. In Younger (Thinner) You Diet, Dr. Eric Braverman expands upon concepts introduced in Younger You to present a totally new approach to lifelong weight management, where the key is not found in counting carbs, fat grams, or calories. Obesity is a brain chemical imbalance, an addictive disorder, treated successfully only through the combined approach of diet, nutrients, and hormones. One of the foremost experts in integrative medicine, known for his work on the brain-body connection, Dr. Braverman teaches readers:
- which foods naturally boost the body's production of dopamine, the chemical in the brain that tells the body to start its fat-burning engine
- how to choose foods, supplements, teas, and spices-even hormones and medicine-to avoid the effects of other aging organs that can destroy one's metabolism
- how to personalize the diet for specific health concerns, such as heart problems, aging skin, weak muscles, and achy joints
Eliminating the frustration and deprivation of conventional dieting, Younger (Thinner) You Diet will help anyone turn back the clock to a slimmer, healthier, younger you.

I am excited about this book. At 40 I finally got a doctor that prescribed meds that is the same that this book is saying. I have lost two inches around my waist, without trying. I crave very little. The doctor explained that my brain needs a little help and that I need some hormons. I was angry a lot, now I am back to feeling like a kid. I sleep great.I have energy. My husband and I now have fun.
