THE APPETITE SOLUTION: Eat More, Eat Better, and Turn Off Your Hunger Forever

In The Appetite Solution, Dr. Colella explains why what you eat is just as important, if not more important, than what you weigh.

Written with warmth and personality, Dr. Colella's insightful self help text offers a practical overall approach on how to eat; one that works with the body to effectively shut down the perception of hunger. In these pages, readers receive a straightforward explanation of our appetite, the myriad biological and environmental factors that influence it, and which eating habits and food choices, including many we thought were good for us, are actually the secret culprits that cause us to pack on the pounds. Unique to The Appetite Solution is Dr. Colella's “Two Week Program” to help readers turn their appetites off and lose weight in the process. Drawing upon Dr. Colella's “Appetite Scale,” a scale that shows which foods cause the most inflammation within the body (a condition that leads to weight-related illnesses such as Type II Diabetes, cancer, heart disease and hypertension), Dr. Colella's plan shows readers how to avoid inflammatory foods, or how to pair them with foods that are lower on the inflammatory scale. Without starving or subjecting themselves to an overly complicated diet, readers will naturally tame their appetites by breaking free of sugar traps and carbohydrate cycles. More than a diet book, The Appetite Solution provides readers with the day-to-day and moment-to-moment ability to control our appetite, control our weight, and stay healthy. DR. JOE COLELLA's prestigious platform and expertise in working successfully with obese patients gives him a unique perspective on how to overcome America's obesity epidemic. He is the Director of Robotic Surgery at Magee Women's Hospital, a Bariatric Surgeon, and an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Down to earth, handsome and remarkably charismatic, Dr. Colella has that essential star quality that can propel a health book to bestseller status. He is the doctor everyone hopes to find: warm but professional, sincere, and above all, confidence-inspiring.
