People suffering from obesity are becoming more and more every year. This is happening for many reasons – improper metabolism, hormonal disorders, stress and associated overeating. But it turns out that in some obese people during the examination, another cause of their excess weight is revealed – this is a food dependence, in which a person experiences severe traction to one or several products at once. As a rule, people with this dependence like to have a bite of chocolate, chips or ice cream. According to doctors, such a craving remotely resembles a craving for drugs, so it needs to resist. How to deal with food dependence correctly?
Firstly, you should not completely abandon your favorite product. If you give yourself an installation like: “I will never use chocolate again!”, then after a few days you will feel a great desire to enjoy them, because the forbidden fruit, as you know, is sweet. But if you tell yourself that you will still be chocolate, but reduce its dose, then you will no longer have such an irresistible desire to taste it, because your chocolate is not prohibited by you. Therefore, if you have a strong desire to eat your favorite product – eat it by reducing its dose. At the same time, you can console yourself with the fact that you can eat more, but you simply do not have such a desire.
Do not buy products from the traction to which you strive to get rid of, do not turn your refrigerator or your warehouse warehouse. Let these products in your house not be. Of course, of course, there is no doubt that you will still have a desire to eat them, but if you want to go to the store for them, this is another question.
Try to avoid the opportunity to buy your favorite ice cream or chips. If your way home lies past the grocery store, try not to go into it without special need or, better, go home another road on which you will not be in wait for the temptations.
Try to analyze your actions and find out what is the impetus for you to eat. In many people, it is caused by stress. If you belong to them, then, going to a meeting or at a meeting not too pleasant for you, take with you any low-calorie product, for example, an apple. So you will have something to “sit down” stress.
To achieve what you want and recover from food dependence, deceive yourself. Buy small plates and cups and use only them – this will automatically lead to a decrease in portions, although visually you will see the full plates of your favorite food in front of you. Do not take a full tile of chocolate or a package of chips in your hand – it is better to put a few pieces of chocolate or a handful of chips in a plate in a plate. Several weeks will pass, and you will begin to perceive such reduced portions of food as quite sufficient, which was required.
As doctors say, you can reduce hunger with playing sports. In addition, with sports and physical exertion in the human body, hormones are produced, causing a sense of pleasure that you need so difficult in this difficult period.
Follow your desires and start eating only when you are really very hungry. Unfortunately, many people sometimes eat simply from boredom or grief, while others do not think to watch TV shows without a bag of favorite chips or chocolate tiles. Try to get rid of this, control your emotions and do not allow yourself to eat by enjoying your favorite television series, and soon you will feel that your dependence on food is getting less and less, and your extra pounds remain in the past.
