i quit smoking and lost weight

Have you ever seen someone who appears thin and healthy
eat a piece of chocolate cake and wondered how they stay
thin? Part of the reason is that they are tuning in
your brain that keeps their body fat and weight of the

brain to change its configuration to control weight.

That's what happened to me when I quit. I had
thin all my life until he quit smoking and won
almost 25 kilos! Quitting nicotine had triggered a
chemical process that altered a role in weight control
my brain. My body began to create fat I ate,
which is used to remove any excess calories. (To exit

Let's call the weight regulator in your brain a * set —

temperature the thermostat is set to heating and
cooling system in your home. If you look at 71 degrees,
then the temperature does not vary by more than one degree or
two before the thermostat tells the furnace to heat (or
air conditioner cool down).

Since point your brain functions similarly, maintaining a
constant weight and fat level through interactions of
hormones, etc. Exploring the body chemistry is beyond
scope of this article. It is enough to understand that
if your weight has increased (or decreased), it is because
tuning in the brain changed. And so, if you prefer
to lose (or win re-) than the weight, habits specific
necessary to adjust the set point to its desired level.

One Eat the right things. This is not difficult if
follow these clear guidelines: a) Maintain refined
carbohydrates to a minimum. That is, avoid foods made with
sugar or flour. b) Eat less fat, but that does not mean
use of products labeled 'low fat' such as low-fat mayonnaise.
Producers must use as many chemicals to make low-fat,
Accepting that processed foods taste better to eat only
the real thing – only less of it. In addition, animals eat less
cheese under fat, like, butter and marbled meat. c) Eat complex

helps the body eliminate toxins and other excesses.
Sweetened juice, coffee, tea, diet or regular soda, and
no alcohol metabolism or contribute to good health.
Maintain a minimum use of them, anyway.

Third, do the right kind of rhythmic exercise great of muscles

If you do these three things a daily habit, (proper

when I stopped smoking and, in the process I've learned
pleasant habits that have improved the quality of my life
and my health. Usually, I like everything delicious
food, enjoy a daily walk, and drink all the water. I feel
good now, and looking good is just a bonus. You will feel
good, too, and your body will thank you, with the blessing of
good health.
