    When dealing with your stomach its better to treat it like a 5 year old.

    “I’m hungry!”

    “Okay lets get you some food”

    “I want chocolate cake and ice cream!”

    “you can have some ice cream, but only after you eat your vegetables”

    “I don’t want vegetables! Now I want Pizza!”

    “When you eat nothing but cake, ice cream, and pizza you feel really bad. Here’s a steak, some rice, and steamed broccoli”

    “FINE!..but I still want the ice cream afterward”

    “You cleared the plate! Would you like some ice cream now?”

    “No, I don’t want ice cream now. I want to take a nap”

      It’s over when the Brain and Stomach team up to override you and you end up eating pizza and ice cream anyway.

        To me thats more of: Brain stepped on a Lego and tripped smacking into the counter edge and is knocked out cold. Now Stomach is running wild and unchecked and pizza and ice cream in excess is consumed by Stomach. Brain wakes up sometime later to deal with the fallout and admonishes Stomach about the bad behavior and makes it promise to never do that again.
