In addition, the hormone dopamine is considered responsible for overeating. Delicious food (as well as drugs) provokes the release of this substance into the brain, which causes a sense of euphoria. A peculiar dependence on this hormone forces a person to increase portions each time. By the way, it is dopamine that provokes us to "seize" stresses and troubles. In the future, on the basis of this, a chemical is planned to create medicines that help fight obesity. In the meantime, for these purposes, we have to resort to tricks that can deceive the body, eliminating overeating and excess weight. Overeating is a nervous habit that destroys the mind - the topic of the article.
The mode object
The first thing that is worth remembering, entering the path of combating obesity, is breakfast. It should be satisfying. If you deny yourself a morning meal, this is guaranteed to increase the amount of food that you eat until the evening. During the day, you need 5-6 times: three significant meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and 2-3 snacks at 100-150 kcal each. This will allow you to constantly feel satiety. Do not mix a few different flavors in one meal. If salty and sweet dishes appear on your table at the same time, all receptors of the brain come into combat readiness. And until everyone is satisfied, you will not be able to stop. Of course, you should always follow the famous rule "get up from the table a little bit hungry." The fact is that the brain does not receive a signal about satiety right away. In order to understand whether a sufficient amount of food has entered the body, we need at least 20 minutes. And in order to reduce the amount of servings necessary for saturation, there is another trick: before you sit down at the table, always drink a full glass of water.
Appetizing magic tricks
The craving for "yummy" can be suppressed by sport. Once you wanted to eat an elephant - do a few sit-ups, shake the press, go for it. In addition, there is a special exercise that helps curb the appetite: stand in front of an open window, feet shoulder width apart, raise hands above your head and take 10 very deep breaths. It will calm your nerves and allow you to last for at least an hour without food. Neutralize the desire to eat tightly also with the help of acupuncture techniques. To do this, select a point located clearly in the middle between the lip and nose, and massage it for 2 minutes with strong pulsating movements of the middle finger of your hand. Do not watch TV or read at the table. So you do not miss the moment of saturation and do not overeat. If you want to get rid of the brutal appetite once and for all, try to train your body in the following way: within a week, feeling a passionate desire to pounce on food, make an effort and suffer five minutes. Every seven days, increase the gap between the desire to eat, and a direct receipt for another five minutes. After a month of training, you will be able to control your appetite.
Diet forever
Attempts to lose weight after sitting for a while on a diet, and then, after returning to their eating habits, will lead to nothing. It is necessary to change the attitude towards food. And to make it so that the new way of life gave you pleasure. Eating one kefir and oatmeal, you risk getting problems with the nervous and digestive systems. Your main task for the beginning is to learn how to distinguish the physical need for food from the purely psychological desire to "chew something" and, drawing conclusions, to relieve the heavy chains of the "slave of the stomach". Remember: by satisfying your appetite, you can lose the rest of the joys of life. Is this worth it?
Eat to lose weight
■ The best breakfast for a person prone to overeating is sprouted grains, oatmeal or legumes (the latter should not be abused because of their negative effect on the intestines). These products have a property for a very long time to digest, "distracting" the stomach from insistent demands to eat more and more.
■ You can neutralize an attack of hunger by eating just one piece of dark chocolate, mint candy or a teaspoon of honey. Familiar since childhood "Do not eat sweet before dinner, and then you will break the appetite" really works.
■ Perfectly removes the infusion of parsley or mint (tablespoon of herbs for a glass of boiling water, 10 minutes insist), and also a decoction of dried apricots or prunes (150 grams of dried fruits boil in a liter of water).
