Synopses & Reviews
Do you head for the fridge after a grueling day at work or pay your bills with a bag of potato chips by your side? If your answer is yes, you eat through stress. When you crave sweet and starchy carbohydrates, you are instinctively trying to tap into your brain's stress-management system through food.
Based on Dr. Judith Wurtman's fifteen years of groundbreaking research at M.I.T., THE SEROTONIN SOLUTION is the first book to promote weight loss and eating control through serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for calmness and emotional well-being. Through Wurtman's patented Serotonin Seeker's Diet, we can boost our brains' natural appetite suppressant simply by eating carbohydrates in the right amounts in combination with other foods to put an end to stress-driven emotional overeating as we lose weight.
