It is no secret anymore that dieting makes people overeat once they get the slightest opportunity to. It is a familiar cycle of starving then binge eating which results in losing weight then gaining more weight. This reinforces the irony that if you want to really lose weight healthily, all you really have to do is to avoid demonizing food, go for healthy diet and simply maintain physical fitness. The familiar cycle aforementioned is the natural design of the brain to avoid starvation which is dangerous to the health.
Every individual has a unique idiosyncratic weight design which their brains are in alignment with. Your brain is therefore your subconscious weight regulator and may subconsciously inform your body to consume more or less in tandem with what your body’s natural requirement is. This is why if you attempt to devise ingenious means to lose weight successfully below what your brain is designed for, it resists by projecting cravings to replenish what is lost.
How should one go about finding out the weight the brain is designed to support? The easiest is to intentionally eliminate all ideas of dieting and instead replace it with intuitive feeding. This model has even been advocated for repeatedly by some religions of the world. Eat only when you are hungry and stop when you are no longer hungry. This pattern requires a high level of discipline no doubt but if the habit is cultivated in about twelve months your weight is stabilized and whether what you need is to lose weight or gain weight your brain will ensure you attain your specifically required range.
Healthy weight gain does not necessarily require rocket science technology or nutrition to be achieved but in the face of the numerous diets options such as white flour, certain vegetables and fruits, processed meat, whole grains, sugar, junk food and others which are popular as the western diets that lead to gaining weight, the most important asset for a healthy weight gain is discipline. Most importantly just as the mind is the core tool for those who desire to lose weight, the mind is also the core tool for anyone who desires healthy weight gain.
