I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Larry McCleary about his book, Feed Your Brain Lose Your Belly. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. My main take away was that weight loss requires a strong and healthy mind so it is important to make sure your brain (as well as the rest of your body) is getting the proper nutrition it needs and you will be that much more likely to succeed in weight loss.

I also learned that our brains are mostly fat cells and thus we need fat in our diets to help us lose weight (sounds like an oxymoron, right?) . I highly recommend you get the book and learn more about the diet created by a pediatric brain surgeon! Oh yeah, and don’t forget to watch the interview.
