What makes us overeat and why do we continue to do it when we know deep down, we really don't need or want to?

Armed with a BS in Biochemistry and a PhD in Neuroscience Dr. Stephan Guyenet has thrown himself into research around the neuroscience of obesity for 12 years now and argues against problem being a lack of willpower or understanding of what to eat. Rather, that our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. Circuits that sure don't give a toss how we look at the beach this summer!

In this ep we talk about dopamine and pleasure foods, the blatant bullsh^t that manufacturers use in their marketing, how we are seduced by food and why do I go from not hungry to hungry after seeing that it's 'lunch time'.
