"Dopamine" and "Addiction"


Okay . . . so yesterday we discovered that dieting isn't hard because we're doing the wrong one or we have no willpower . . .


It's hard because our brain and its chemicals are working against us.


So the next question we need to ask is this . . .


How do the chemicals "endorphin" and "dopamine" become unbalanced in the first place???


Well . . . other than the reason we spoke of yesterday . . . sugary, fatty foods . . .


There's another reason . . .


We've all heard about "lectins" before and I've done several Health tips on them.


Well . . . as we now know . . . lectins are called the "miscommunicator".


And one of the functions of the body that these lectins mess up . . . are the chemicals of the brain.


So now you're not only craving sugary, fatty foods . . .


We're also craving lectins like potatoes. and the grains in pastas, breads and pastries.


When we eat foods high in lectins . . . just like sugar . . . it causes "dopamine" levels to surge . . . putting the brain into overdrive and craving even more food.


And we now are overeating.
