Lose Weight Quickly by Shedding Food Cravings!
According to a recent article in this month's issue of Scientific Mind magazine, (Nov. 2006), your cravings have nothing to do with "willpower" or "weakness." Peter Pressman of Cedar-Sinai Med. Clinic and Roger Clemens of UCSC reported that according to recent research, the culprit is your neural network. Brain chemicals, including serotonin, that influence your mood, emotions and memory are the culprit. Add to that the hormones that are produced by your gastrointestinal tract and you might think you have no choice but to give in. That could be bad news if you are trying to stay on a healthy weight loss plan. The good news is your brain is fickle! It can't really concentrate on more than one thing at a time. So when you feel those cravings coming on get out of the house for a walk, read a book, surf the blogs. (Don't take the m & m's to the computer with you!) If your really having trouble, grab an apple on the way out. The cravings will pass.......till next time that is!

The aspects of that particular way are being as accepting, detached, and non-judgmental as one can be toward whatever it is that one is focused on in the moment..........
