Or why you keep craving those rich foods that sabotage weight loss? It's easy to blame yourself for a lack of willpower. But the truth is, you can't lose weight and keep it off without balancing your master hunger hormone--ghrelin. Ghrelin is the hormone that tells your body to eat when you're hungry.

But stress, lack of sleep, or eating at the wrong times can throw off your ghrelin levels, slowing down your metabolism and packing on belly fat and excess pounds. The good news: It's easy to get your ghrelin cycle back on track and shed that belly fat for good. The Belly Fat Fix shows you how to incorporate the science of ghrelin into an easy plan: • A simple diet packed with anti-ghrelin superfoods. More than 50 easy, delicious, ghrelin-busting recipes. • A quick exercise plan to tone you up and help keep ghrelin at bay. Reset your hunger hormone, fire up your metabolism, and lose that extra weight--up to 15 pounds in 30 days--without ever feeling hungry!

Download or read book Mindset written by Carol S. Dweck and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.
