New methods seek to understand the factors that influence the relationship with food, drawing a more consistent and profound plan of weight loss

When we eat a food, our taste buds identify the taste and send the information of that we are eating for specific regions of our brain. From this we can identify the taste of food. What happens is that the food we eat has the potential to give us sensations. "There are foods that lead to the activation of the limbic system in the brain, the same region responsible for emotions and rewards," said psychologist Nicodemos Borges, a specialist in Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. > According to Nicodemus, we live in a society that often tries to throw under the rug some feelings, because they are not accepted, such as anxiety and sadness. But from the moment we ignore these feelings, we are left with issues unresolved and it can happen when we feel these feelings try to "make them" with foods that provide pleasure, such as sweets. "This effect, coupled with the learning that anxiety is bad, can cause a person to eat sweet every time he or she becomes anxious, as a kind of escape from the emotional state," explains psychologist Nicodemos Borges, a specialist in Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy.

And do not stop there. Emotional and overweight are also linked by the over-normal release of certain substances in the body, such as cortisol. This, if it is unregulated, acts directly on reducing fat burning in order to protect the body and leave the body prepared to face any instability, such as stress, anxiety or situations that we do not know how to deal with. there is an imbalance, the body induces the brain to protect itself, lowering the basal metabolic rate, reconnecting the reflexes responsible for the preservation and maintenance of life, among them the long-lasting energy storage system, keeping energy only for the functions of life All that you eat, the body recognizes that it can be a 'last meal' and stores it, "says nutritionist José Alves Lara Neto, of the Brazilian Association of Nutrology.

What triggers the excesses and the ingestion of When our body puts itself on alert for some reason, be it anxiety, sadness, or stress, every carbohydrate is turned into insulin. and sending stimuli to the hypothalamus, an area that connects the endocrine system to the nervous system, regulating sleep, hunger and thirst, as well as emotional and stress. This, according to the nutrologist, sends three signals to the body: "That you should eat every 30 minutes, that the body should store the existing visceral fat and that whatever you eat should be absorbed immediately."

With sugar released quickly into the body, emotions gain more stability, bringing pleasure and well-being. However, this sensation tends to pass quickly and, at the slightest sign of the return of problems, once again the desire to seek shelter in that same family of foods that bring fast return, considered caloric. In general, compensation in food comes from the internalization of the problem and from the pursuit of immediate pleasure. Lara comments that each organism reacts in a way to the release load of the neural stimuli. "A medical nutrologist will thoroughly investigate the causes of overweight, which are often not exclusively linked to eating." "Not every thin person eats little, and not every fat person eats too much," he points out.Nicodemus also contextualizes that our eating habits are influenced by our ancestors' life: "This tendency to ingest caloric foods occurs because of our history as a species." Our ancestors lacked food in abundance and often spent many hours between a meal and another.Therefore, the sensitivity to caloric food intake was phylogenetically selected, "he says. Along with this, in a more current scenario, our brain has been taught that pleasurable times are accompanied by caloric foods. "We ended up matching this type of food with 'pleasure' - all this makes us much more inclined to prefer caloric foods."

Changing the diet is not enough, it is necessary to change the way of thinking

It is not by the way they say that the most difficult part of the weight loss process is not weight loss, but rather the maintenance of the new silhouette. This is because so many people can not condition and adapt the way of thinking to the new lifestyle. "Changing how we think about food and food is a possible way, if not necessary, to developing healthier eating habits. Momentary regimes tend to be problematic because a person is educated to eat in a certain way for only a while. he did not learn that this new form of eating should be maintained if he does not want to regain weight, "points out Nicodemus.

From this, some methods were created that stimulate, first and foremost, the transformation of the mind, a consequence of this path. Below is a list of some of them:

Neuro Fit

This technique, adopted by the actress Fernanda Souza, aims to promote slimming by the habits of thin people, conditioning the body and mind for the ultimate goal. Created by nutritionist Pollyanna Esteves, the method addresses the reasons that lead to weight gain and what are the obstacles that prevent a person from reaching his final goal.

The program is paid for and includes meetings based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, focusing on reprogramming brain patterns, rethinking self-image and confidence. It is also performed bioimpedance exam, medical consultations to evaluate some biochemical imbalance, evaluation and individualized training with personal trainer, food intolerance test and more.

Time Line Therapy

The method consists in finding, through analysis, what are the memories that have been trapped in the person's consciousness and which, in some way, are preventing it from evolving. The theory uses a set of techniques that can be applied in all areas of life that are gaining in limitations, including food transformations. Another point in the technique is to direct thought to a less negative perspective. They believe that by eliminating the emotions that leave us discouraged, it is possible to improve our mental and physical health.

Weight Loss Coaching

Coaching techniques are succeeding the world and have even gone to weight loss. Many institutes in Brazil already rely on this modality, which seeks to shed light on the reasons that lead people to gain weight and have so much difficulty getting back to physical shape that they once had or dreamed of having. patterns created and fixed on our heads, teaching students to identify which stones are in their own way. Having done this, they receive guidance on how to change this mindset, the so-called mindset, which resulted in being overweight. When the reasons that made you have a poor relationship with food become clear, it is simpler to chart a consistent change plan.
