1. Get
to Know Your REAL HUNGER
Real hunger is an interesting concept (considering
MOST of us don’t eat this way!), but it’s something that we
MUST learn!
More often than not, it’s the sight, smell and/or
idea of a particular food that causes us to feel hungry – rather
than the empty sensation in the pit of our stomach (physical hunger).
Emotional eating, food games and fear of food are the
MAJOR culprits when it comes to weight gain. And emotional eating not
only causes us to eat way more than we’re capable of, but the physical
sign to stop eating is actually missing. Because food (something physical)
cannot fill an emotional void, your body has no way of being able to know
when it’s had enough as it does with physical hunger (hence the
overstuffed feeling) – so watch out!
That’s not to mention, of course, that emotional
foods are also very rarely healthy foods – yet another reason to
get out of the habit.
It’s all about training, training yourself to be
aware of the reason WHY you’re eating and learning to eat out of
physical hunger. So every time you get hungry, ask yourself HOW HUNGRY
you really are. Sometimes you may even find that you don’t have
to finish what’s on your plate because you’re already full.
Eventually, you’ll find yourself eating more out of physical hunger
than emotional hunger.
While you’re learning to recognize your hunger,
you can measure or weigh your food quantities, but only for a short time.
For the long term I’d encourage you (even force you!) to focus way
more on your own hunger, rather than how much you feel
you should eat at each particular time (this WILL help you identify
your physical hunger!).
2. Eat when it COUNTS
In general, I recommend eating, small, frequent meals
throughout the day. Too many people save their calories for the later
part of the day, which sets them up for failure because this only encourages
fat storage rather than fat loss.
