Does food control you or do you control food?
When you start to eat or snack, are you really hungry or is it because of the stress, sadness, anxiety you are feeling?
Remember… Food can only be your lifesaver for a short time in a sea of emotions. Foods that you disregard your health and see as the only way to comfort yourself may only provide you with a temporary solution.
Recent studies have shown that foods high in fat and sugar, such as chocolate, cake and crisps, that make you feel good only have an effect for three minutes immediately after consumption. Do you think it’s worth doing this to yourself for three minutes?
HOW CAN WE COPE?
So, what are some ways to deal with this? The first way is to start by recognizing when you are tempted to eat. Before you start eating, stop for a second and ask yourself, “How am I feeling right now? If you are honest with yourself and often answer “out of boredom”, “because I don’t feel well”, “to relax”, etc., you should never blame yourself for this. Because you are now in touch with yourself and aware of your feelings. This means that you are ready for change and transformation.
YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT
Unfortunately, today we face many situations that prevent us from socializing and spending time for ourselves, such as long working hours, intense work tempo, spending too much time at the computer or on the phone. By getting to know yourself, the changes you will make in your mindset with the awareness you gain will bring permanent solutions to your emotional hunger. The most important thing is to know that you can reach your ideal weight for your health as long as you love yourself and want to. However, your goal should never be to lose weight. Because even if you have achieved short-term success in every weight loss diet you have started because you want to lose weight, you have returned to your old self. It is almost impossible to achieve lasting results without changing the brain’s habitual teachings.
REACH YOUR IDEAL WEIGHT
The most important step to reach your ideal weight is to develop healthy eating habits. In doing so, the most important thing is to learn which foods are suitable for us and to improve our eating behavior accordingly. Recent studies have proven that even our genes play a role in our food preferences, in addition to weight, age, gender, blood values, lifestyle, food allergies and toxin levels, which underlie the development of a personalized diet. Therefore, the diet should be personalized for everyone.
