If someone said weight is all in the mind, what would you say? Yes, the fact that you might be overweight or obese is all in the mind. Does that seem crazy to you? What on earth can it mean anyway? How can weight have anything to do with the mind? Surely it’s just about food and exercise? Or is it? How can the best way to lose weight have anything to do with the mind?

It wasn’t until fairly recently that people thought that the mind and the body were separate and that the brain was all powerful. Things have moved on. It is now common knowledge that the body and the brain are important to each other. There is a constant dialogue between the two. They are both interdependent.

It is now the belief in many quarters that the body has its own intelligence. Whether it is interpreted this way or not, it is a source of gathering, processing and supplying information.

An example of the brain and the body working together might be the reaction the body has when we don’t get enough sleep. It interprets this as a lack of energy and releases a hormone from the stomach called ghrelin. This signals to the brain that we are hungry.

There are lots more examples…here’s another. When we go on a diet it is common to reduce the intake of calories too quickly. The body interprets this as a signal that there is about to be a famine, and stores all the energy it can. At the same time signalling to the brain that it is hungry. This is a cunning ploy to get us to redouble our efforts to get food.

If we want to lose weight, it helps if we know why things happen. Losing weight successfully and permanently is all about habits. Habits are useful because they allow us to do things without thinking too much, which leaves the brain to get on with more important things. Over time we develop bad habits. To get rid of these bad habits we have to learn new habits, slim habits. When your eating and lifestyle habits are slim habits, your brain and your body will work together, free from the distortions of bad habits, and you will be able to lose weight permanently.
