When we get hungry because we haven’t eaten for
awhile, it’s really not an empty stomach but rather our brain sending the
message. If no food is forthcoming, we must rely on the energy stored in our “belly,”
or, more appropriately, the collection of adipose tissue (fat cells) around our
middle. The continual dialogue between the brain and the belly is our lifeline
during periodic food shortages. It is also what gets us from meal to meal. So,
whether we don’t eat for a few hours or a few weeks, our belly is an important
player, and it is the second link in the brain-belly connection.
Because of our bellies we have
the luxury of accessing nutrients from both external and internal sources. What
we eat constitutes the external energy supply. Our fat tissue represents the
main repository of our internal energy stores. When one is unavailable, we rely
on the other. The brainbelly connection orchestrates this interaction. It does
so by regulating the hunger response and releasing energy stored in our fat
cells when no food is available.
By making proper food choices, you will soon learn how to easily tap
into the large reservoir of stored fat we all carry around and how to stop food
cravings.
