Summary

For decades, weight loss advice has centered on the tired mantra: eat less, move more. However, if it were really that simple, why are so many still struggling? The truth is weight loss isn't just about willpower—it's about biology. In "Breaking Hunger," Dr. Ben D. Alilin—a physician, metabolic health expert, and bestselling author of "Breaking Point"—reveals the hidden forces driving food cravings, overeating, and weight loss resistance. The real problem isn't a lack of discipline—it's a hormonal imbalance fueled by modern food, stress, and gut health disruptions.
At the center of this book is GLP-1, a powerful hormone that naturally regulates hunger and metabolism. Popular medications like Wegovy and Zepbound mimic its effects—but what if you could harness your body's own GLP-1 production naturally, without expensive pharmaceuticals?
You'll Learn:
•The truth about hunger: How modern processed food hijacks your brain and hormones to keep you eating.
•GLP-1 and metabolic control: Why this overlook hormone is the key to effortless weight loss.
•The gut-hormone connection: How gut health influences cravings, metabolism, and overall well-being.
•Science-backed strategies to enhance GLP-1 levels naturally through nutrition, movement, and lifestyle changes.
•How to finally silence 'food noise' and regain control over your eating habits—without feeling deprived.
Unlike restrictive diets and quick-fix weight loss fads, "Breaking Hunger" offers a physician-led, science-based approach that works with your body—not against it. Whether you struggle with emotional eating, metabolic slowdowns, or constant cravings, this book gives you the tools to break free and take back control. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this book is your breakthrough.
"Breaking Hunger" is the second book in "The Breaking Series" by Dr. Ben D. Alilin, following the acclaimed "Breaking Point."
