Not to mention the gut brain-- That's the organ I blame for the ice cream I just ate
replyThe best way to stop eating ice cream is to stop buying ice cream. If it's in the freezer, it'll be eaten.
replyBut how do you stop buying ice cream?
replyFill your freezer with frozen food other than ice cream.
replyYou buy your groceries while that piece of your brain has no excuse to make loud demands ;-)
replyEat your dinner before going to the shop.
replyI think there is a better way: The colder something is, the less sweet it will taste. if you warm-up ice cream and taste how sickeningly sweet that soup is, you won't be having so much for a while...
replyThe best ice cream I ever had was at a small shop in Athens that had unsweetened ice cream.

replyI think that adipose tissue is the biggest criminal when it comes to unwanted hunger, since it produces hormones to make you hungry the moment you actually risk losing weight.
replyNot sure how much the digestive neurons are involved with hunger actually, I thought its role was more about telling you which foods make you nauseous so you won't eat them, or subconsciously register which nutrients various foods have so you'ld crave the ones compensating for shortages more.
I heard adipose tissue also retains hormones and fat-soluble pollutants, and losing weight sets them free and have to be dealt with by the body in other ways. Specifically, the hormones can cause mood swings, which some individuals have learned to react to with binge eating.
