Alan Hirsch
This work explains how the urge to eat too much is governed not by the stomach, but by a specific portion of the brain called the satiety centre. Through years of research, Dr. Alan Hirsch has determined that what we smell can influence what and how much we eat. He reveals that our appetite can be satisfied by sniffing certain scents, whenever the urge to overeat appears. We can literally sniff away excess pounds and break old patterns of eating, thereby losing the weight we keep fighting against. Remainder mark.
