Today I speak with the author of The Hungry Brain Dr Stephan Guyenet.
We find out that weightloss isn't a simple case of willpower but that we are in fact slaves to our ancient brains.
We hear about the part of the brain that wants us to to retain our bodyweight and by extension our bodyfat for health and fertility reasons.
The good news is we can influence this part if the brain through our diet and behaviours.
We hear about how the brain views some foods as rewards and about high value foods.
Plus we discover what proportion of our weight is dictated by our genes.
