Free Yourself From Eating Habits That Weigh You Down

NeuroSlim® uses the most powerful discoveries in neuroscience to help you stop overeating, quit sugar, reduce hunger & weaken cravings for unhealthy food.


A SCIENCE-BACKED ALTERNATIVE TO DIETING


The  NeuroSlim® research team analyzed thousands of peer-reviewed studies, extracted their most important discoveries and turned them into an easy-to-follow weight loss program. In our personalized online class you’ll learn tools, techniques and insights that will…



BREAK YOUR SUGAR/SALT ADDICTION

Systematic Discontinuation, the gold standard in drug treatment, allows you to quit sugar and salt the way addicts quit drugs.


CUT YOUR HUNGER PAINLESSLY

A phenomenon related to Cognitive Disinhibition, discovered by professor of psychobiology Suzanne Higgs, can cut your hunger by 14-51%. 




QUIT SODAS & JUICES

Habituation and dishabituation, discovered by MIT neuroscientist Evgeny Sokolov, can easily reduce or eliminate your sugary beverage habits--without suffering from cravings or withdrawals.




STOP OVEREATING


Replicated studies on food-specific decentering techniques show it significantly reduces or stops stress eating, emotional eating and overeating in general.


WANT LESS FOOD

Through the work of psychophysicist Joseph Delboeuf and others, neuroscientists have documented “blind spots” in the brain that allow you to eat less food than you’re used to without feeling cheated or deprived.




WEAKEN CRAVINGS FOR FATTENING FOODS

Psychologist Walter Mischel’s famous “Marshmallow Experiments” led to innovative delayed gratification techniques proven to manage even the most voracious cravings for fat bombs like cakes, ice cream, cookies and more.



DEVELOP CRAVINGS FOR HEALTHY FOOD

Systematic Sensitization, the neuroscience explaining “acquired tastes,” can easily help you develop intense cravings for healthy fruits and vegetables. 


QUIT SNACKING

Reducing “Food Cue Reactivity,” a concept developed by Columbia University social psychologist Stanley Schachter, is proven to reduce or even eliminate snacking between meals.

Instructor

NeuroSlim® Founder and Instructor

Michael Alvear

Weight loss researcher, columnist and author Michael Alvear has written for Webmd.com, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and the Huffington Post. His commentaries have aired on NPR’s All Things Considered. Alvear is the author of NeuroSlim® The No-Diet Weight Loss Program Powered By Neuroscience, Grand Theft Weight Loss and Eat It Later.



WHY I CREATED A SCIENCE-BACKED ALTERNATIVE TO DIETING


As a weight loss researcher and author, I wanted to offer an alternative to the cruelty of deprivation dieting. So I instructed my team to search through thousands of peer-reviewed studies by leading neuroscientists, evolutionary biologists, and behavioral psychologists. We found a treasure-trove of published but unpublicized research proving it’s neuroscience, not dieting, that holds the key to permanent weight loss.


We took the most important discoveries in the scientific literature and created a logical, easy-to-implement weight loss program we call NeuroSlim. 


Every Technique Backed By Studies…

Every lesson in the class ends with a list of academic citations (including links) so you can see which scientists developed the lesson’s insights, tools and techniques, how these scientists came to their conclusions and which academic journals published their works. 


I did this to show you how rooted the lessons are in science, to help you verify the lessons’ information, and find out more about the subject if you want to research it further.


…And My Personal Attention

The NeuroSlim® program also includes access to me, through a multi-media package of personal coaching (phone, Zoom, email and social media groups). 


The evidence-based insights and techniques you’re going to learn in the class are easy but, unless you’re a neuroscientist, you’ve probably never heard of them. That’s where I come in. 


Got a question?

No Medicine, No Supplements, No Vitamins, No Dieting.

I am on a research-heavy, evidence-based mission to stop the toxic mentality of dieting promoted by what I call the Diet Weight Loss Industrial Complex. 


The scientific literature is filled with studies showing you don’t need to diet to get to a healthy weight. The evidence is everywhere--in research portals like Google Scholar, medical databases like PubMed, science libraries like the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews and academic journals like The New England Journal of Medicine.


NeuroSlim Is Not A Diet

It does not traffic in recipes, meal plans, or nutritional advice. There isn’t a list of foods to eat or avoid. 


It isn’t therapy or a support group, either. You will not be asked to “process” your feelings about food, revisit formative experiences with family meals or explore your body image issues. 


NeuroSlim is a portal for remodeling your eating habits, reducing unnecessary hunger, quitting sugar, weakening cravings for fattening food and developing intense cravings for healthy ones. All through evidence-based techniques developed by the finest minds in neuroscience.

After buying dozens of dieting and nutrition books (to no avail) I know a LOT about the subject but this class consistently and repeatedly surprised me with things I didn't about losing weight. My skeptical nature was assuaged when I saw that every lesson ends with a list of academic citations showing which scientific studies the lessons were pulled from. This class completely changed my eating habits and I'm starting to see major results from it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The videos are sooooo well done, sometimes genuinely funny, but always informative. But more importantly, TRANSFORMATIVE. I have changed almost every aspect of how I eat because of this class and I can see the dividends its paying through my wardrobe. I've done Weight Watchers and Noom--neither came close to the effectiveness of this class' techniques.

Instructor is engaging and accessible. The personal coaching session was incredibly useful. The emphasis on science (there must be over 200 citations peppered throughout the course) made me trust that this wasn't just some rando with misguided opinions. There is simply nothing like this class--it will completely change your relationship to food.
