The science behind overeating uses three secret ingredients to attract us all – Sugar, Fat, and Salt!
That’s right; those three little ingredients tend to ‘weigh-in’ in a big way on our health. The food industry uses this trio of ingredients in such a way that they become a big part of what you think about when food comes to mind. At least we think about them subconsciously.
The combination of these three little buggers can develop a dopamine spike you your brain that says, “Hallelujah I have arrived!” And when those dopamine spikes occur you’ve started something now. These little joyous occasions build a memory of the experience and now you’re hooked; the food industry is betting on this.
And it’s not just money they’re gambling; they’re betting yours too. Every year American people spend Billions on weight loss schemes, with most of them failing. Not only does this affect our pocket book with the expense of these fads, it also does so in a more serious way. The overeating affect this science brings to our tables also brings a huge health problem due to being overweight.
Being overweight brings serious health risks such as an increased risk of:
· Diabetes
· Hear Disease
· Cancer – Breast, Colon, Esophagus, kidney, and Uterus
· Stroke
· Gallbladder Disease
· Arthritis
· …. and more
Since the food industry is bombarding us with stimulus that develops memory patterns that drive us to overeating, we should fight back using our minds. We need to make our minds to think differently about our foods and about how we treat our bodies.
So, how do we do this? Quite simply we need training. It was training that got you were you are today and it is training that will take you to where you want to be tomorrow. The training I am talking about has two parts – Physical and Mental. Both parts need to be addressed at the same time to be affective.
The key is to find another way to think about food. It is a reprogramming of your thoughts in such a way that we can overtake the memory that’s developed for all that – fat, salt and sugar – and replace it with thoughts of healthier eating. Here is a list of things to help develop your memory for healthy eating.
