GETTING HUNGRY I of III


Dr. Beverly Cowart, said: "for many women, their eating behavior is motivated more by external influrnces such as sight and smell at food than by hunger. For some women they find it very difficult not to eat if they are surrounded by food that is very appealing.

On the other hand, your brain, eyes, nose, taste buds, intestines, nerves, internal chemicals and hormones all have a say on when how much and even what you eat. Sometimes they'll tell you what you should eat.

BE aware, your stomach neurotransmitters and hormones will often signal you to eat only when nutrients are low, urging you to eat only when and what you really need to. Now when your eyes, nose, and taste buds tell you to eat, be more cautious. We can however, train our brain and stomach to be our hunger patrol.
