I was reading a research study the other day by Dr Robert Sherwin of Yale University School of Medicine. In the study, Dr Sherwin says that “there essentially may be biological reasons why people can’t necessarily control their desire for food.”

What this means is that some people may be able to summon more mental defenses to resist high-calorie food than others. Presumably, thin people fall into the former category and obese people the latter.

The more I thought about this, the more I can relate to this study. When I was fat and unfab, I was basically unable to resist the temptation to eat those glorious high-calorie food in my view. Apparently, the part of the brain used for impulse control shows high level of activity for thin people that are showed high-calorie food, as opposed to little activity shown by obese people.

This got me thinking. Why then is Fat Loss For Idiots able to help overweight people lose the pounds whereas other weight loss programs aren’t as successful? This has got something to do with the brain, ain’t it?

Let’s see if we can correlate the success of Fat Loss For Idiots weight loss program to the study.
The fatlossforidiots program involves 11 days of food plans. You follow the specific food plan of 4 meals a day. The types of food you eat each day is rotated to keep your metabolism from falling into a rut. After 11 days, you can eat whatever you fancy for 3 days, and the cycle repeats itself.

Now going back to the study by Dr Sherwin, which essentially says that obese people can’t resist the impulse to eat. If this is the case, then obese people will forever be obese! Now, if we look at the fatlossforidiots program, what it does is it ‘tricked’ the brain into believing that what you are eating is what you fancy, by shifting different calories and rotating the types of food you eat.

Now that’s a healthy way to trick your way to a successful weight loss!
