The "Hungerstat," found in each of our bodies, determines when and how much we eat. Its discovery solves the mystery behind America's weight problem. It is described in Dr. Susan M. Madden's new book NoBody Overeats (Sage Creek Press, 1998).

"Nobody does overeat," said Madden. "Doctors have tested the overeating theory on obese and thin adults and children. They found that when people (no matter how much they weigh) overeat, they are miserable, unhappy people. The bottom line is that our bodies tell us how much to eat, so weight gain cannot be blamed on overeating."

"I have experienced being both overweight and thin," said Madden. "My excessive weight gain occurred during my first pregnancy and I was determined to find out what was causing it. As a doctor, it was more than just wanting to lose weight, I wanted to understand what was happening with my body. I have tested my theory of lowering the "Hungerstat" with my patients and myself and it really does work, which is why I was compelled to write the book."

Madden is Board Certified in Preventive Medicine, Family Practice and Occupational Medicine and holds a Bachelors degree in nursing and a Masters degree in public health. It was not until she experienced an increased hunger level (which led her to eat more food than her body needed) that she realized that "nobody overeats." Only by believing this could Madden strip away the fallacies surrounding obesity, reset her "Hungerstat" and find the facts that lead to permanent and easy weight loss.
