Find Out If You Are Addicted To Foods
We are on the planet thanks to the fat. They were the most suitable fuel for the survival of the people living in caves, whose caloric expenditure was enormous compared to ours. The problem is that today we spent most of the time sitting in our offices (or lying on the couch at home), so we burn fewer calories than our ancestors, but we continue to share with them the pleasure of eating foods high in fat and with a high sugar content. These are foods that your body doesn’t really need.
Try that the calories you consume, last longer. Think that you don’t need excessive energy you aren’t going to hunt a mammoth or something like that. Ideally, you take about 20 or 40 grams of protein at each meal, and between 25 and 35 grams of fiber throughout the day. These nutrients satisfy the appetite, while helping to undermine the need to overeat. Especially the fiber helps you by giving you a certain feeling of fullness, which in return reduces your appetite. Foods such as oatmeal or whole grain bread contains a lot of fiber and you should definitely include them into your diet.
Clinical studies have found that there are parallels between the brains of people addicted to food and people hooked on drugs. The mechanism is basically the same: to receive a given stimulus, the brain releases dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting pleasure. And that’s when you engage. The problem is that, like drug addicts, people addicted to relapse when they try to suppress food habits.
What is prohibited is very attractive and it generates a strong sense of pleasure. We ended up falling into temptation, and we do it in an exaggerated way.
No need to go to counseling sessions to stop eating as emotional escape. All you need is to change your habits of reward. That means that you must learn to recognize situations that lead to eating this particular way. One key is therefore to discover what triggers the anxiety, learning to manage emotional feeling, behaving in a positive way, and finally to congratulate yourself when you achieve something.
So next time you achieve a diet goal, reward yourself. This can be all kinds of rewards. Have a nice ice cream as a reward (and when I say reward, I mean only eat this as a reward), or go to a match of one your favorite sports teams.
