Put A Freeze on Weight Gain

Nothing ruins a diet more than splurging on burgers.

Okay, don't blame yourself! Your brain has been sabotaged by fat. The effect is limited to a saturated fatty acid, palmitiv acid, which is found in beef and dairy products. When we eat, leptin and insulin tell us when we are full and when we should stop eating. But when palmitic acid gets into the brain, it causes the mind to tell the cells to ignore "stop eating" signals from the weight-regulating hormones.
