It happens that after a diet or after another stress it is impossible to safely pass by the refrigerator and often begins to appear a wild desire to eat. Each such breakdown not only brings us back the former kilograms, but adds even more from above. So there is a dependence on food, when you painfully want something to chew or bite. But remember that the body does not need food every 15 minutes. What is the psychological dependence on food? And how to fight it?
Psychological dependence on food is a phenomenon in the psyche of a person who is prone to overeating, regardless of whether it happens periodically or continuously. The emergence of dependence on food is facilitated by many unsuccessful attempts to lose weight or transferred stress. And many even lead to obesity. Psychological dependence is not at all connected with real hunger. It is established that today dependence on food is in 70% of men and 95% of women. So stick to some simple rules that will help you control your addiction.
Eat often and gradually. In a day, you need to take food 5-6 times, in order not to feel hunger and not snack, snack is a very bad habit. Thoroughly chew food, thoughtfully and for a long time. Sit straight while eating. Eat only at the table. Enjoy eating, do not think about anything bad. Eat only useful natural products. When eating, exclude the TV, the book, the work and everything else that you associate with food.
Do not go to the store one more time, so you do not buy, sooner or later it will be in your stomach. Therefore, buy products at a minimum. As you want to have a snack, do a couple dozen sit-ups or shake the press, sport is a good stimulator of pleasure. Do not eat until discomfort or until the stomach is ill. Do not eat at night or in the evening, better drink a glass of milk or kefir. Gradually change your eating habits, switching to more and more light foods, listen to yourself and the right weight will come to you yourself. Eat better spicy and spicy food, it improves metabolism, eliminate fast food from your diet. Eat small portions, eventually you will get used and your brain will begin to take this portion as a sufficient amount, eat from small plates. Less to think about food helps to walk in the fresh air, read a book, take a bath relaxing.
If you already have excess weight, you first need to understand what exactly you gain in weight, and only then look for ways and methods of getting rid of weight. If the method of weight loss does not suit you, it leads to negative emotions and overeating.
Sometimes dependence on food becomes strong, and in such cases it is necessary to consult a specialist. A person begins to feel a constant anxiety without eating, especially without a loved one. These people are disturbed by the function of dopamine - a hormone that is responsible for motivation. The total people of this hormone are smaller than those of the lean, and therefore it is more difficult for fat people to give up food and control themselves. Someone appears to depend only on certain products, so to say, on the beloved ones. And the absence or rejection of your favorite food leads to a stronger dependence on your favorite product. Do not completely abandon your favorite food, give in to your addiction, but only a little.
Watch what you eat and you will help your body overcome many diseases and avoid stress and discomfort. Remember, your body is yourself!
