We have always maintained that in order to lose weight, it’s essential to create a calorie deficit, and for such a low calorie expenditure to happen, a great deal of importance should be placed on dieting. Exercise is an important aspect too which accelerates the whole weight loss process, but look at the huge percentage gap between what can be achieved through dieting alone compared to doing just exercise. Our body needs minimum amount of calories to do its daily activities, from maintaining the core temperature to digestion, and even for breathing. But when there is calorie surplus, more than the body can actually burn, all the extra calories are converted into fat molecules, and get stored as subcutaneous and visceral fat. Over a period of time, calorie surplus would lead to weight gain. A lot of people believe that just by training the body, they can lose weight; however, the formula that works is “train the brain, not the body.” Overeating, stress, emotional eating, binge eating, comfort food, wrong dietary practices are the major reasons leading to weight gain and obesity, with direct links to stimulation from brain. Some people find it extremely challenging to attain control over hunger pangs and frequent snacking and it’s not entirely about will power anymore, the trick lies in training the brain to eat less food without going into starvation mode. In this post, we list out amazing ways to trick your brain into eating less so that you can fall into a calorie deficit and burn stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss.
