How To Improve Your Nutrition That Has Nothing To With What You Eat

Nutrition is every where now  a day, I bet you see ads every where promoting diets , supplements etc

But, What I find is it’s always the same stuff. They always talk about what to eat and how much.

That’s great for results in the short term but I think if you want results that last ,addressing the why and how are crucial.

WHY

Why do you eat?

Do eat when your hungry?

Do you eat when you have intense feelings like happiness, sadness, anger, stress and to feel better?

Do you eat because your bored?

Do you eat because other around you are eating?

Non of these reason are bad or problem. But, they can be if there not  in check. When your eating without knowing why. A lot of those reason happen at a subconscious level.

Bringing awareness to this can very helpful. Here are few ways to work on  the why of your eating?

-Ask yourself before each time you eat, why are you eating, is it based on feelings or are you going regret this later. If you feel like you might regret it later, maybe you can do something else, that might give you same feeling?

-Keep food journal and at the end of each day, go through each meals and determine the reason you ate.

-Try to fast for 16-20 hour for 1 day and pay attention to all the automatic ways you go for food, what are they based on. This is great learning experience about subconscious behaviors you have over food.

HOW

How is crucial too, if your how is off. You tend to over eat, have less energy and have lots of regrets.

Most of the time, when we eat it. We want it to be the only thing that we do. So, we can pay attention to when we get full and stop. Also this will help us  digest our food better and enjoy it. Don’t rush through meals but eat slowly and enjoy it.

A few how’s that could be trouble, if your some one that may, do it too much.

Do you eat at your desk?

Do eat while your driving?

Do snack while you watch tv?

Do eat really fast?

Do eat until your stuffed?

Good rule of thumb for your how is

-Make it the only thing your doing.

-Chew your food completely before you take another bite and  put your folk down in between bites.

-Try to stop eating when you feel full, not stuffed.

-When your having food you really enjoy, stop eating once the taste sensation, start to go down.

This stuff might seem unimportant or not as sexier as the latest fad diet. But, if you get good at this stuff. You’ll get results and keep it . You’ll eat less, have more energy and even be able to get away with eating more carbs because it isn’t so easy for you to over eat it.
