In order to keep a healthy weight... your brain has 4 secrets.

To all of those who took these small challenges with me: CONGRATULATIONS!

We managed 28 days (or more) of healthy changes. I hope you enjoyed the process and that these new habits remain in your daily life.

How many changes were you able to maintain? 
Which were your favorites? 
Did you experience something new? 
Did you improve your quality of life? 
Did you enjoy a little bit more daily activities?

Let me explain the reason of this challenge:

Did you know that our brain is able to control our weight?

There are several mechanisms designed to keep us in a healthy weight:

1. At the time you sit down to the table and see the food, your brain starts a countdown of 30 minutes within which you will feel real hunger.

2. At the end of the 30 minutes, when foods fills your stomach, you feel the first sign of being sated.

3. When food passes the first part of the intestine, the brain releases the latest sign of fullness.

4. If you obey the signs: eat when hungry and stop eating when you feel "full", you maintain a healthy weight, however, if you disregard it your weight will increase and this system loses it’s effectiveness.

That's why it is very important to take the time and space to eat, enjoy every bite and listen to your body so you stop eating when necessary, it will help you feel good, keep your weight and not starve during the day .
