Are you tired of feeling like your brain betrays your best intentions when it comes to food?
Do you plan healthy meals, only to find yourself reaching for fast food, sugary snacks, or convenient takeaways when hunger strikes, despite knowing better? You're not alone. This daily struggle between the apple and the doughnut, the home-cooked meal and the takeaway menu, is a testament to our inherent irrationality. It's not a simple failure of willpower or a lack of knowledge; it's a systemic feature of our cognitive architecture.
This book unpacks the hidden psychological forces that make healthy eating feel harder than it should, including:
- The Present Bias (Temporal Discounting): This is the most powerful driver of takeaway culture, causing us to overvalue immediate rewards (like greasy pizza now) at the expense of our long-term well-being (like avoiding heart disease in 20 years). It's why "I'll be good tomorrow" becomes a perpetual trap.
- Optimism Bias and the Planning Fallacy: We believe bad things "won't happen to me" and overestimate our future willpower, while simultaneously underestimating the time and effort needed for healthy tasks like cooking. This sets us up for present-day failure.
- The Availability Heuristic: Our tendency to judge things based on how easily examples come to mind. Fast-food brands spend billions to make their products the first thing our brains recall, making them feel like the "natural" choice over healthier alternatives.
- Social Proof and Herd Behavior: Humans are social creatures, and we often unconsciously copy the eating habits of those around us, even if those habits undermine our health goals. Choosing healthy options can feel socially awkward.
- The Default Effect: We are wired to follow the path of least resistance. Modern life often makes ordering takeaway the effortless default, while cooking a healthy meal requires multiple steps and effort.
- Hyperbolic Discounting: This "I'll be good tomorrow" mindset traps us in a cycle of indulgence and postponed discipline, where the immediate sensory pleasure of food overshadows abstract future health benefits.
- The Halo Effect and Misleading Labels: A single positive attribute (like "organic" or "low-fat") can create an illusion that an entire product is healthy, leading us to overconsume otherwise unhealthy foods.
- Loss Aversion: The fear of "missing out" on the taste, comfort, or indulgence of unhealthy foods feels worse than the "gain" of eating a salad, driving us toward choices that avoid perceived deprivation.
- Choice Overload and Decision Fatigue: Too many food options overwhelm us, and our mental energy for self-control diminishes throughout the day. This makes us default to convenient, often unhealthy, choices when tired.
- Anchoring and Portion Distortion: Our perception of "normal" serving sizes is subtly manipulated by oversized restaurant portions and initial pricing, leading to chronic overeating without realizing it.
- Emotional Biases (Stress, Comfort, Reward): Food acts as emotional currency, a way to soothe stress, find comfort, or celebrate, often overriding rational knowledge of what's healthy.
Grab your copy of "The Calorie Curator" today and transform your relationship with food. Discover how to align your mind with your health goals, move beyond guilt and restriction, and build a foundation for a healthier, more energized, and ultimately, more fulfilling life, one well-chosen, psychologically-informed bite at a time.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
