Have You Been Conditioned to Overeat?

Why Are 2 out of 3 Americans
Overweight? Are we a nation of
overeaters? Consider this: The
average restaurant meal has about
1,400 calories, and the average
American eats 3,700 calories a day!
And, according to a study conducted by
Boyd Swinburn, director of the World
Health Organization's Collaborating
Center for Obesity Prevention, all those
extra calories are to blame for our
expanding waistlines.
What we eat is important, to be sure, but even more important is how much we eat. The problem is portion control. When we take in more calories than our bodies can use up, it turns to fat and excess weight.
Why We Eat Like Cavemen
Most of us have grown up with a fast-food lifestyle, where super-sized meals and big-gulp soft drinks are the norm.
Over time, we become overweight, and our bodies actually require more calories to feel satisfied. This is because a "normal" amount of food intake will no longer send the required messages to the brain that sufficient calories have been consumed to maintain proper body functions. By the time we realize there is a problem, we are biologically conditioned to eat too much.
So if you've ever felt like your appetite is out of control or wondered why you don't have the willpower to stick with a diet, now you know why. It's not a sign of weakness on your part - it's the way your body is hardwired.
Has Science Found A Cure for Years of Bad Habits?
How do you take control over a biological drive that has taken years to develop?
Dr. Alan Hirsch, a neurologist who specializes in the science of sensory response, believes he has the answer. For more than two decades, Hirsch has studied how our senses affect our behavior. His research led him to develop the
Sensa Weight-Loss System.
Sensa is a unique mechanism for losing weight in that it addresses the urge to overeat head on - literally - by using the sense of smell to activate an equally primal process in the brain that tells your body it's time to stop eating.
In the simplest terms, it works with the body's natural urges, not against them beause it tricks your brain into thinking you've eaten all your body needs, so you can eat less without even thinking about it.
