Neuroscience will save us... eventually

Losing weight is simple. You just need to make sure you eat less than you burn. But then... why is anyone fat? The answer lies in neuroscience.

The goal of this blog is to look into the research and begin to understand why our brains are so hungry, and what we can do about it.
