Recently I was watching Biggest Loser and was very intrigued
by one of the guests they had on “The Ranch”. They had a scientist who has done
brain research on why obese people over eat and why thin people, generally, do
not.
What he said he discovered in his research was a difference
in the brain’s “pleasure center”. For obese folks, the pleasure center is
actually much smaller in comparison to their thin counterpart. This suggests
that while both obese and thin folks have cravings, it takes much MORE for the
obese person to satisfy the craving.
The good news is that this pleasure program can be
re-written in the brain. It takes 4-5 weeks of healthy and moderation eating to
train your brain. The bad news is, it can be overwritten with the old habit
with just 4-5 days of over-indulgence. That means 1 week of unhealthy eating
can completely undo all the hard work you have done to enjoy eating healthy.
So, what is a health-conscious person to do during the
holidays! We are bombarded by all types of unhealthy foods and sedentary living
for an extended period.
My solution is to deck your halls with boughs of healthy
this Thanksgiving and find healthy recipes to keep your Holiday Train from
getting de-railed.
While I am no recipe expert, I love to eat and I know where
to look. I found a site with a full menu of healthy Thanksgiving recipes that
will provide good options for just about any traditional Thanksgiving craving. These
include:
Healthy Thanksgiving Menu
Hearty Mashed Potatoes (without butter and milk!)
Using your brain to train your brain is the key to long term
weight loss. Find these recipes and more healthy options at www.coxhealth.webhealthyrecipes.com
