   We are going to have to deprecate an idiom or two. "I'm in two minds about something" now gives the wrong meaning.

      Not to mention the gut brain-- That's the organ I blame for the ice cream I just ate

         The best way to stop eating ice cream is to stop buying ice cream. If it's in the freezer, it'll be eaten.

            But how do you stop buying ice cream?

               You buy your groceries while that piece of your brain has no excuse to make loud demands ;-)

               Eat your dinner before going to the shop.

                  Also, doing high-effort endurance exercise for long enough suppresses grelin production (the hunger hormone). I've seen 30+ minutes of running or 60+ minutes of cycling as the most common rules of thumb.

                  So in order to stack all these effects to maximum effect: plan exercise before meal, plan mean before doing groceries.

               Fill your freezer with frozen food other than ice cream.
