Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
According to Wansink, director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, the mind makes food-related decisions, more than 200 a day, and many of them without pause for actual thought. This peppy, somewhat pop-psych book argues that we don't have to change what we eat as much as how, and that by making more mindful food-related decisions we can start to eat and live better. The author's approach isn't so much a diet book as a how-to on better facilitating the interaction between the feed-me messages of our stomachs and the controls in our heads. In their particulars, the research summaries are entertaining, like an experiment that measured how people ate when their plates were literally "bottomless," but the cumulative message and even the approach feels familiar and not especially fresh. Wansink examines popular diets like the South Beach and Atkins regimes, and offers a number of his own strategies to help focus on what you eat: at a dinner party, "try to be the last person to start eating." Whether readers take time to weigh their decisions and their fruits and vegetables remains to be seen. (Oct.)

From AudioFile
The two points in this exciting audio are that nearly undetectable differences in daily calories make a big weight difference over time and that many factors influence how much we want to eat in particular settings. Our ancient brains won't limit calories automatically--to inhibit overeating, we have to set up cues, such as the appearance of food or the shape of a plate or package. These cues work better than depending on unreliable feelings, such as a full stomach or tight clothes. Though this might sound tedious or mechanical, the author's excitement will inspire interest and confidence in spite of his less-than-ideal voice quality. Citing many fascinating studies, he offers great strategies for overcoming various patterns of overeating. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
