Brain research tells us that "the mind" is actually a group of systems with different goals, which often disagree on the correct action to take in the moment. Join neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt to learn how these brain systems influence food choices and weight regulation, how they're affected by dieting, and how mindful eating can help to resolve conflicts between them.


Learning Objectives: 
  • Identify the brain systems involved in regulating eating and body weight
  • • Describe the physiological and psychological reactions to calorie restriction
