So she created I’m So Effing Hungry, a science-based plan designed to help you take charge of your health and your cravings, without feeling deprived. As Dr. Shah explains, cravings aren’t your fault—and eating a healthier diet isn’t just a matter of self-discipline or willpower. There are powerful biological forces at play in your body that govern your hunger levels and cravings.I would probably give it 4 stars for the above, but found certain gripes whilst reading. For one, she tells us that nothing is our fault. Repeatedly. Everything is society's fault and we are all helpless. I understand that we live in an extremely sensitive culture where no one likes to take responsibility, but c'mon! Minus one star. This book summarises the science behind cravings, debunks mainstream myths about hunger and provides you with actionable, science-based strategies to manage excessive hunger and cravings.

We can transplant behavior, we can transplant mood, and we can transplant cravings just by changing the gut microbiome. This is the new wave of the future. We can cure disease, mental health, and physical health by changing our gut because our gut bacteria communicate with our immune system, hormones, and nervous system, creating change throughout our body. Drawing on the emerging science of psychobiotics - healthy gut bacteria that improve mood and regulate hunger, weight and cravings - Dr Shah has created a 5-step plan to help you make peace with food and Psychobiotics are bacteria that can change the entire mental state of a person. Researchers took patients with schizophrenia, looked at their microbiome, and observed distinct differences. In fact, the researchers could tell which patients had schizophrenia just by looking at their microbiome. They next took this microbiome and transplanted it into germ-free mice. They also took non-schizophrenic gut bacteria and put it into other germ-free mice. They then mixed all the mice up and found that the mice that had received the schizophrenic bacteria started to display mice schizophrenia. The gut researchers knew which animals had received that bacteria because of their behavior. We can use exercise in different ways, but the simplest way is just to go outside and get time in nature. Our gut bacteria have circadian rhythms, so they get input from our body when we are in nature, and when we’re moving. This has great effects on our mood, our cravings, and our behavior. 5. Psychobiotics are the new frontier in medicine. STEP 4. REFRESH: with a good night's sleep, using proven good sleep habits used by the U.S. military.
