Binging and not eating frequent small meals taught our brain to Store that fat for later just in case we needed it. The cells have been programmed to stay inflated at all times.

As our fat is depleted from the cell it takes in water to maintain its shape. This way when we take in enough calories the fat cell can release the water and readily take in more fat.

Many of us think that water is released within a few days or maybe a week. For a precentage of the fat cells in our body that may be true. However it can take the brain up to 6 weeks of healthy intake of foods to allow those cells to release the water and shrink down. ... (end snip)

You know, the brain IS made of fat, right...?
...And the cells themselves are what's been programmed to stay inflated...
How long before by BRAIN has a whooshie???!?
