Being fat is one of the biggest causes of chronic illness. So why do you stay fat? Lots of reasons. One of the biggest reasons people stay fat is because they use food to manage emotions.
Eating food feels good emotionally. It distracts us from the negative feelings, feelings of stress, feelings of emptiness. We even eat when we are happy. Eat to celebrate.
Not only eating too many times driven by feelings but what we eat is a big contributor. I won’t go into all the crappy food you know you eat.
The answer? Eat more fresh fresh food. This may not be as easy as it sounds. Eating habits are deeply ingrained since childhood. I started out just trying different things and finding out what I liked. I have found that the change to eating a lot of fresh food has meant I really do not have to watch out if every little thing I eat might make me gain weight. As long as I eat plants mainly. It is ok to cook them too.
I have also experimented with a lot of different seasonings so I can make food that tastes good. It is important it tastes good. Trying your own experiments is more valuable than trying to eat from any list I may offer. We all have different tastes. I eat bananas and potatoes too because I like them. Berries and grapes and whatever seems good. I am making a vegitable soup right now. I used some beef boulion and a little rice in there so it will be filling.
Learning to eat fresh food can save your life. You will have more energy and naturally become more active.
