Sinossi

"Extreme Food Challenges" offers a deep dive into the world of competitive eating, exploring the motivations, health implications, and cultural significance behind these events. The book examines why individuals push their bodies to the limit, consuming massive quantities of food or enduring intense spice levels. Interestingly, these challenges highlight the physiological vulnerabilities of the human body, such as the digestive system's response to rapid caloric intake and the cardiovascular system's reaction to extreme stimuli.

 
The book analyzes the psychology of extreme eating, considering factors like sensation-seeking and the pursuit of online fame, while also delving into the physiological responses and the historical context of competitive feasting. It presents information with a data-driven approach, drawing from nutritional science, human physiology, and cultural anthropology to avoid sensationalism and provide a balanced understanding. Each chapter builds on core concepts to explore the body's reaction to capsaicin, the impact of rapid caloric intake, and historical precedents.

 
Ultimately, "Extreme Food Challenges" seeks to inform readers about the risks and implications involved in this unique subculture, from sports medicine and behavioral psychology perspectives to cultural studies. The book progresses from introducing various types of extreme food challenges to analyzing relevant case studies and research findings, and finally, considers the ethical considerations and guidelines for participant safety.

Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more?
Hey listen,
At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today.
Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food.
Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience?
In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double!
And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep.
Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about!
