Today’s article will help you understand your cravings so that you can stop them forever and why you don’t feel like exercising, so start reading .
Before we start, I want to ask you a few questions:
Do you find it hard to stick to a diet plan and do you find it hard to start exercising? Do you crave, even fantasize for particular foods even though you know they make you fat? And do you feel like eating them even if you are not hungry? Do you use food for comfort, when you are alone or when you have a bad day? Are there days when you eat so much that you almost can’t breathe and then you hate yourself for it?
Are you at least 10 pounds overweight and you feel tired most of the time? Do you hate looking in the mirror? Do you have trouble sleeping and you are very stressed? Do you feel like snacking, especially in the night time?
If your answer was YES to most of the questions above, do not worry because by the end of these 3 articles you will have an exact plan to follow so that in around 1 month, if I ask you these 8 questions again, the answer will be a solid NO.
What usually happens to women who manage to lose weight?
Here is the most important statistic that anyone considering losing weight should know. Most of the WOMEN who manage to lose weight gain the weight back within the first year! This even includes women who have participated in “The Biggest Loser” or had their stomach stapled. This is the most repressed statistic in the diet industry: only 3 out of every 100 women who reach their goal manage to maintain that [weight loss] beyond the first year.
[]Visualize yourself as part of an enthusiastic group of 100 women who through food restriction and significant exercise manage to burn more calories than they consume each day.
Now visualize that this group has the perseverance and stamina to stick to that regimen for months, doing whatever is necessary, AND all of the members of this admirable group actually reach their target weight. Hurray! What an amazing achievement!
[]One year later these 100 extraordinary women reconvene, and to their shock, only three remain at their weight-loss goals. The other 97 have either returned to the weight they were at, prior to the regimen or actually weigh more than when they started the program! Only 3– THREE – not even nine, but three women, have managed to keep the weight off!
What happened ? How come they gained back all that weight?
[]So what happens here? You see, when these women went back to normal eating, they experienced hunger far more often than before the weight-loss program. After ending the diet, they also became preoccupied, even obsessed with food, they couldn’t stop eating and they gained all the weight back! Also, because they mostly exercised because they were forced to, not because they enjoyed exercising, they simply didn’t exercise almost at all after the weight loss program, and all the food they ate transformed into fat!
Can we learn something from this so that this will never happen to us?
That statistic made me analyze things even more. The truth is that I spent the last 3 years of my life studying diets, exercise routines or tricks to increase metabolism and help women lose weight easier, I really thought of myself as a weight loss expert because I helped so many women lose weight and become sexy….
However I realized that I didn’t do enough research about how we can influence, even re-wire our brain when it comes to foods, eating and exercising.
So, I started researching and interviewing over 100 women who have lost weight and managed to keep it off THROUGH will power and constant dieting and exercising. These women are very few because will power is a limited resource…
[]Then I analyzed and interviewed over 100 naturally slim women, women who have always eaten whatever they wanted, however they never had weight problems. In fact all their life they were thin and sexy, and they never had to work for it. They exercise not because they have to, but simply because they love being active, it is a part of who they are….
That’s when I realized that the way naturally slim women see food, behave around food and feel about exercising is so much different compared to overweight women, even to women who are slim because of forcing themselves to diet and exercise constantly.
Then I started asking myself: What if an overweight woman would start thinking like a naturally slim woman? Could she lose weight like this? And could she keep it off with almost no effort? The answer is definitely YES, and below I will explain how this can be done.
How can thinking as a naturally slim woman can help you lose weight and stay fit?
The answer is very simple: picture yourself without craving for bad foods, without those urges to binge of overeat foods that make you fat, with a constant need and will to exercise… Well this is what you can become if you start thinking like a naturally thin woman!
However, before you start thinking like a naturally thin woman, first you have to understand your cravings, your love for eating and why you don’t feel like exercising…
Scientists can measure statistically the differences between obese and naturally slim women. When both eat foods they enjoy, the amount of dopamine produced in the brain of an obese woman is lower than the amount produced in a naturally slim woman.
Dopamine is a hormone that it is released when a person experiences pleasure, so in this case, contrary to what everybody thinks, an overweight woman experiences less pleasure from foods than a naturally slim woman. The overweight woman needs to eat more food to experience the same amount of pleasure as the slim woman. For example, the thin woman eats a salad, and experiences the same amount of pleasure (the same quantity of Dopamine) for which the overweight woman must eat 2 pounds of food.
[]Despite the popular misconception that overweight women love to eat and get greater joy from food, the truth is that the more severe the food addiction, the less pleasure the overweight woman experiences when eating.

Slim woman’s brain compared to a brain of an overweight woman
The scan in the right compares the brains of a naturally slim woman (on the left) to an overweight woman (on the right) when eating the same food. The red in the scan of the thin woman’s brain indicates a high dopamine level, which translates into a healthy dosage of pleasure.
In contrast, the yellow in the obese person’s brain indicates a lower dopamine level: the amount of pleasure experienced is substantially less. These scans show that the naturally slim woman is able to experience greater levels of pleasure than the overweight woman when eating the same foods. Basically, overweight women must eat more food to feel pleasure!
How did your brain become wired to overeat?
[]You see, in our history food wasn’t always available, so evolution has given us a few hormones to guarantee that we eat a lot of food so that we prepare ourselves for times when food will not be available. That’s why eating is a deeply pleasurable activity. We want to eat, frequently even in the absence of real hunger.
The brain-hunger system motivates and rewards eating by creating conscious sensations and impulses related to food: “I like that. I want that. That was good. I want more”.
[]If your mouth waters when you pass the pastry shop after lunch, you can blame it on your brain hunger, cause you are already full. Brain hunger is responsible for your cravings, binge eating and eating when you are not hungry.
Ask yourself this: How many meals would you skip if you never had any cravings? The answer is probably too many. If eating was an experience as neutral as breathing for you, would you bother to spend hours each day shopping, cooking, spending your money in restaurants or even fantasizing about food??

See how the brain of an overweight woman looks very similar to the brain of an cocaine addict
The truth is that there is a Hugh difference between the brain of a natural thin woman and the brain of an overweight woman who loves food. In fact scientists have shown that there are big similarities between the overweight woman’s brain, and the brain of a drugs addict.
Consequently, hundreds of neuroscientists have begun to document that obesity, eating disorders, and even the ordinary urges of appetite resemble addictions. However, it is not your fault!
Why are we addicted to eating?
The main reasons why women get addicted to foods is the combination between flavor-enhancing additives and sugars, which are present in almost all foods and increase the pleasure we feel when eating them. THIS makes the brain addicted to those flavors; once this happens, we have to eat more of those foods to make our brain produce the same amount of dopamine.
The second reason is the fact that you have been dieting so many times. And each time you diet there are certain foods that are you not allowed to eat, and because they are forbidden, it is in human’s nature to only think about them. That’s why you got obsessed with some foods and eating a small piece of them, leads to binging and overeating.
THE TRUTH IS: THE MODERN WOMAN IS WIRED TO OVEREAT!!
[]Here’s how to measure your food addiction. Your responses to the statements below can be “never”, “once a month”, “2-3 times per month”, “once a week”, “more than 2 times per week” and the “more often” your answer is, the more addicted to food you are :
I eat certain foods even though I am not hungry. I worry about cutting down on certain foods. I feel sluggish or fatigued from overeating and I hate myself for doing so. I spend time dealing with negative feelings from overeating certain foods I get agitated even have anxiety when I cut down on certain foods. My behavior towards food and eating causes me significant distress. Issues related to food and eating decrease my ability to function effectively.
Now, in case after reading the statements above you’ll consider yourself a food addict, don’t feel bad, because it is not your fault.
You should also know that I did not write this article because I want you to FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF, but because I want to help you. OVEREATING IS NOT A PERSONALITY FLAW or A FAILURE OF CHARACTER!
However, because overeating is directly associated to a very low self-esteem, heart disease or diabetes, you must do something about it.
And luckily I can not only help you recognize your food addiction, but I will also give the exact 4 steps to cure your food addiction and to start having a new relation with food and start behaving as a naturally slim woman behaves in relation to food!
Why you don’t feel like exercising?
[]Studies have shown that most of the women don’t exercise the right way for their bodies. The constant problem researchers found is that most of their trainings are linear, and they don’t alternate pushing themselves with active recovery, leaving them almost exhausted.
When you push yourself over your limit, and then you have a moment of active recovery, dopamine is released, and you instantly feel joy. Lets say you do a sprint, and then instead of stopping, you simply continue running but much slower. You simply feel the air going into your lungs and slowly a feeling of joy surrounds you…
However, over 80 % of women either exercise in the same rhythm for a long time, or they push themselves too hard, and then they stop for a few minutes. The problem is that if not enough dopamine is released during a workout, you will associate working out with the pain you feel during it, and that’s why you don’t feel like exercising most of the times.
However, naturally thin women are different. They do only workouts that makes them really happy and that’s why they simply don’t function that well without doing these workouts. So, the key is to either find a workout that gives you a lot of satisfaction, or simply do interval trainings, alternating high intensity with active recovery.
[]Once you won’t have cravings and won’t overeat anymore, not because you impose it, but because you simply feel great without having to eat more, and you find the workouts that you love and you will simply not be yourself without doing at least 3 per week, losing weight will be easy for you and in 1 month, you should easily lose from 10 to 20 pounds.
