Last week, I posted my first video in which I answered your questions about the brain and weight loss. In that video, I gave you six tips to control your cravings. If you missed that video, visit 6 Tips to Control Your Food Cravings, Pt 1.
The response to that first video has been amazing. So many of you have posted comments on my blog saying that you appreciate the information. I am so thrilled that you found the video helpful and hope you will enjoy today¹s video too.
In today’s video, I¹m giving you Part 2 of my answers to your questions on cravings. You will discover:
- Why you crave carbohydrates like cake and cookies.
- How the foods you eat for breakfast could be fueling your cravings later in the day.
- Why you absolutely must know your brain type in order to control cravings and lose weight.
- How your hormones could be making you crave high-fat, high-sugar, high-calorie foods.
- Ways to beat nighttime binges.
- Tips to help teens control cravings.

Very nice work, Thanks for all the good information, and guidance.
Thank you so much for the videos! You are
great!! I am 74 and highly sensitive to
what I eat. Cannot have alcohol or caffiene,
or artificial ‘anything’ – I feel an after-
effect in my head from these. I lose focus
and feel ‘foggy’, sometimes fatiqued,sleepy.
I follow NRT scanning and whole food sups.
Love choc, but eat small anounts and use honey in my herb teas. Any insight into why
my brain is so highly sensistive?
Well, you’ve convinced me. I am going to stop having a treat at 8pm every night. I’m looking forwards to your new book because I’d like to see your recommendations about what to eat at breakfast. I have the standard cereal, juice and milk. I’m going to be adding an egg, or should I just eat a couple of hard boiled eggs?
Is it possible that pesticides impact our thyroid? If I eat non-organic blueberries, fresh or frozen, for example, then I have the heavy leg syndrome, which I believe is a symptom of hyperthyroidism. If, on the other hand, I eat organic blueberries, fresh or frozen, I feel fine. When I don’t feel fine, I can’t get to the market to maintain my inventory of healthy foods, and so I spiral downward.
If it’s true that non-food products in our foods, for example pesticides and high-fructose corn syrup, can harm us, why does the FDA permit these products? And, why are sugar and salt permitted in foods that don’t need them. I feel best when I avoid sugar totally, but that’s becoming almost impossible! Even Omaha Steaks steak seasoning contains sugar.
It seems the government is helping us become overweight.

Great series! Can’t wait to see your new book. Thank you for tying together so many separate threads into a comprehensive whole! Where can we access this brain or eating inventory that you talk about in this episode?
Just like Arvetta, I have a lot of chemical sensitivities. I’m 70. I do wish there was more focus on MSG (and all the other names it goes by including “natural flavoring” and “natural seasoning”. Even some meats/poultry/etc. are injected with a form of this chemical. If I ingest MSG (et al), my brain turns to total mush for easily 24 to 48 hours. Sleep is elusive and walking is staggered. I feel depressed and “dull brained”.
What concerns me most is this chemical is being fed to our younger generations and absolutely cannot be good for their growing bodies causing all sorts of side effects. I grew up on “real food”, but this is almost possible in this day and age.
I do like your “style”. Please keep up the good work.
Sugar addiction is real, as I can attest. My whole life I’ve craved it, but managed to keep my weight just in the “overweight” zone. But because of this, and my gene pool (diabetes on both sides of the family) I now have type 2 diabetes. And sugar addiction has been so difficult to face. My life now revolves around numbers. EVERYTHING has sugar in it. However, things are gradually getting under control, and the cravings are starting to subside. I’ve also lost a lot of weight now that I’m aware of glycemic indexes, and my BMI is much improved. I have every intention of keeping this up, in addition to getting off Metformin…that is my goal.
Thank you for telling it like it is.
Would like to know if Amen Clinic has any recorded history of studies on MS patients and or Lyme disease patients.
You mention that sugar can have an addictive effect like heroin. I totally hear you on this one. I’ve been trying to wean myself off of it for years and only find myself deep and deeper in the web. I would love to make it throught the two week cold-turkey process to get myself “clean” but I fail every time. Is there any spa or clinic that a sugar addict can go to like how a heroin addict can go to rehab? I’m serious here as I have insulin resistance and am told I must take Metformin already. I do NOT want to progress even further down this black hole but seem incapable of helping myself 9just like the heroin addict).
Hi Dr. Daniel
In one of your videos, you talk about
a client that reacts badly to MSG.
Because MSG is in a lot of foods and
he could not avoid it. You said you prescribe medication for him.
I’m currently taking a Mind Body course at the Vancouver General Hospital Healthy Heart Program with Dr. Howard Koseff
We were talking about msg. Dr Koseff did not know of anything that counter the effects of msg. We couldn’t find anything in you website.
Could you provide this info to
