As you may know we\\u2019re taking a spring break here on the podcast which means right now is a great time for you to be getting to work applying the tips and strategies you\\u2019ve been learning from listening to the more than 100 podcast episodes available.

This week\\u2019s spring break focus is: Hacking your brain and planning and it\\u2019s all about understanding about the food choices you make. And it\\u2019s important because wanting to lose weight and knowing how to eat to lose weight does not equate, unfortunately to us choosing to eat in a way that supports us in our weight loss endeavours.

And as we know telling ourselves what to eat or being told what to eat doesn\\u2019t work in the long term. Instead, we want to understand why we make the choices and decisions that we do and what we\\u2019re focusing on here to help us with that is a little bit of basic human brain science and understanding that we have the option to use different parts of our brains when we make decisions, based on whether we\\u2019re deciding something in the moment and using our primal brain to make that decision or making more of a strategic decision and using our executive functioning, unique to us humans part of our brain.

When we plan we tend to make much more intelligent decisions, of course that doesn\\u2019t mean that we don\\u2019t override our planned decision with one in the moment \\u2013 there\\u2019s more skills to be learned to help with that.

But having a process for taking the conflict and confusion and drama out of food decisions can be very helpful.
