7 Ways to Lose Your Gut for Good

June 15, 2011 Lose Your Gut for Good 7 ways to satisfy your hunger and still lose weight How do you know when you're done eating dinner? The answer might seem obvious. After all, doesn't everyone push the plate away when they feel full? Well, no. Lean people do, according to a recent study at Cornell University, but people who are overweight rely more on what are known as "external cues"—a clean plate, the end of a television program, the clink of others putting down their forks. Unfortunately, these cues have nothing to do with how people feel physically. "Our brains are often out of touch with our bodies," says C. Peter Herman, Ph.D., a University of Toronto expert on appetite control. "And when eating becomes mindless, overeating becomes routine." Bottom line: To shrink your gut, you need to start listening to it. We've scoured the studies and tapped the nation?s top experts to help you do just that.
