Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Your genes control your appearance and many other aspects of your life. They also play a more clandestine role in controlling your weight. They are telling you that you're in poor health and overweight because you're feeding them the wrong things. #2 Our genetic code is dependent on our bodies to protect it and house it until a new computer, in the form of our offspring, can take on these tasks. We need our genes as much as they need us. #3 Your fate is being controlled by a hidden system that runs most of your cellular, hormonal, nervous system, and aging processes without your conscious input. It does this so that the thinking you doesn't screw up the process of moving genetic material forward in time. #4 Our genes are programmed to send messages to our bodies to keep our metabolism low and to eat high-calorie foods. They also drive us to this behavior. We cannot suppress the drive to obtain the most energy in the form of calories for the least effort.
