4 Ways The Brain Inhibits Your Weight Lo...

Weight Loss Mindset
About this episode

The function of the brain is to help us survive in any way that it can.

Restricting our diet can trigger this survival mechanism and switch on intense cravings.

Understand that the brain is not your enemy and learn how to work with its natural functions.

When you can do that, weight loss becomes effortless.

Do you believe losing weight is only about changing your diet or how much you eat?

You need to understand what you're up against

1 - The brain isn't your enemy

2 - Food cues are everywhere

3 - Depriving yourself creates temptation

4 - What's with the “All or Nothing” rules?


Now that you understand that your brain works this way, the psychological rules that govern your thinking can be helpful in overcoming these forces. 

You can successfully change your eating habits in a way that allows for sustainable weight loss.
