Our appetites are partially controlled by our brain's biological clock or "circadian rhythm" This clock is synchronized by the amount of daylight we get through our eyes. You can stop evening carbohydrate cravings by making sure you get enough daylight in the afternoon. By not getting enough bright light our bodies think it's winter time. Winter food shortages often meant starvation for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, so in response evolution and natural selection have given our bodies a way to help prevent possible starvation by jacking-up the appetite in order to motivate us to find more food to eat and to put on extra body fat. You can try this for yourself when you have time. Go outside for the afternoon. Don't stare at the sun, but look straight ahead. If the day is cloudy look more towards the sky. Don't wear sunglasses. This technique may stop evening carb cravings immediately or may take a few tries. If you don't want to go outside you can sit in front of a clinically-approved light box, or shine an inexpensive fluorescent light right behind your knees or on your wrists where the blood flows close to the surface of the skin. If you want to find out more, order our booklet which contains more details about this simple and natural method of weight control. This is not just another diet book. |
