You can train your brain to prefer healthy foods, like kale
and cantaloupe, rather than unhealthy foods, like cookies
and fries. A study completed by researchers at the Jean Mayer
USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University
and at Massachusetts General Hospital demonstrated brain changes
suggesting it is possible to reverse the addictive power of
unhealthy foods and increase the preference for healthy food.

The SAD diet, or the Standard American Diet, trains our brains
to prefer unhealthy foods that are high in fat, sugar and calories.
This training happens over time as we eat toxic foods like cheeseburgers,
ice cream, pizza, steak and potatoes, pastries, candy bars and chips.
The food industry has hijacked our taste buds and explains why we
prefer a donut over an apple. Our food cravings mean huge profits for
those companies, but it has left our population obese and sick.

The study included overweight and obese men and women. Some of the
participants followed a new Tufts designed weight loss program. The
others were considered the control group. Both groups underwent brain
scans (MRI) at the beginning of the study and six months later. At
the end of the study, the brain scans for those in the weight loss
group showed increased sensitivity to healthier foods and a decreased
sensitivity to unhealthy foods in the reward center of the brain.
While this is a small study, the results are promising for those who
struggle with weight loss and food addictions. While the brain changes
were recorded after 6 months most reported their food preferences changed
after just two weeks.

One male participant said his brain was retrained and he lost 75 lbs,
going from 291 to 216. He used to crave steak, potatoes, things covered
in butter, pizza, and cookies. After the study he craved asparagus, beans,
squash and blackberries. Study participants ate a diet that placed an
emphasis on behavior change, high fiber, and low glycemic menu plans.
