That explains a lot about myself. When I cut back on calories a few years ago I started not craving them after a few weeks.

ummm, I will take a quadruple bypass burger and a jolt cola please. I can have surgery so it won’t affect me right?

Great info about this study. Thanks.

Sheeesh! Brain surgery to stay slim, I rather get fat!
Rather a “full bottle in front of me”
than a “full frontal labotomy”!

On another note, (not sure if I’ve mentioned this before on your blog or not), Paul McKenna’s book, “I Can Make You Thin” says that when you over eat/eat fast, your brain releases endorphins. Most big eaters become addicted to the “happy hormones” and this drives their eating habit far more than the taste of the food.

Not overeating would “…stop this cycle before it gets started.”

But how much easier said than done.

Look kids, a quick and easy way to stop you from getting fat without dieting or exercising… all you need is a teensy bit of brain surgery!
