The constant desire to eat something is a problem for a huge number of women. No diet will give long-term results if you are not mentally determined to stop overeating. You don’t just need to want to lose weight, you need to want to eat healthy food and in the quantity that will be enough for you. I WANT to tell you how you can influence your appetite.
There are many reasons why people lose control of their appetite and eat much more than they need. One of them is that foods such as fat, sugar and salt activate certain nerve cells in the brain that are responsible for pleasure. That is why all tasty and unhealthy food is certainly sweet, fatty and salty.
Women who diet frequently also overeat regularly. The diet starts on Monday, which means you can eat to your heart's content on Sunday. But the diet may not begin, and then the “last time of gluttony” may happen again and again.
Food as a stress reliever, food as a reward, food as a celebration - all these are reasons to become addicted to food. The reasons why you constantly need food lie deep in your mind. But you are still able to influence the situation.
Fall out of love with some foods
Develop an aversion to sweet and fatty foods. When you crave something sweet, try to choose a healthy option, such as a banana or baked apple with cinnamon. Love the delicate and not so sweet taste of yogurt.
Don't buy harmful products
Make a detailed list of foods and situations that trigger you to overeat. Avoid them in every possible way until control becomes a habit: do not keep them at home, change your route so as not to walk past the supermarket or pastry shop where you usually buy them. If you know you won't be limited to two cookies, don't buy them at all.
How to learn not to overeat during a feast
Don't follow your instincts
When we see a delicious dish, our mouths water involuntarily. But don’t rush to satisfy your owl’s desire to immediately pounce on food. Think about it, are you really hungry? Is this healthy food? Will you be tormented by remorse after you empty your plate?
Don't think about food
Just stop perceiving food as something important in your life. Don't buy cooking magazines or look at food websites. Focus on something truly important in your life. Food is not something you should focus on.
Cook it yourself
Semi-finished products are the most harmful products. Therefore, it makes sense to learn how to cook hearty and healthy meals yourself. By replacing frying with baking, you will significantly reduce the calorie content of the dish. This way you will gradually develop the habit of eating right, which means you will stop overeating.
