3 Tips To Break Your Bad Food Cravings
Most people suffer from emotional eating. Their mind controls their eating habits and they eat too much. If this sounds familiar, then this principle will help break the worst of your habits. It is known as the addition rule of weight loss.
The principle behind this rule is very powerful.To get rid of a bad habit, you need to add something positive in its place to fill in what was there before. Nature abhors a vacuum and will fill up the empty space.
Adding healthy food to your diet can help you to flush body fat naturally. Let’s take this example so that you can understand what I’m talking about. If you are trying to give up white bread (guaranteed fat producer), You must replace it with either a whole grain wrap or sprouted bread such as Ezekiel bread.
After you have done this for a period of time, start adding some more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet.
This has four specific benefits:
- Raw fruits and vegetables have digestive enzymes to help you break down the rest of the food you are eating.
- Vegetables and fruits contain high amounts of fiber which grows in your stomach, causing you to fill up and feel fuller faster.
- It helps to push food through your digestive tract.
- It provides the body with much needed vitamins and minerals
The second part of the rule is to “eat my fiber first.”
Eating fiber first (salad) clears your digestive tract and prepares it for your meal.
Raw fruits and vegetables are full of fiber and when eaten with other carbs, they create a path for the rest of the food and cleanse your colon.
For instance, when you eat pasta, make sure that you eat your salad (minus all the heavy dressing) before you eat anything else. If you are eating ice cream, add an apple and eat it first.
Doing this will fill your belly so that you won’t be able to eat as much.
Go ahead and start this immediately. It’s not unusual for people to lose 5-10 pounds off of just this little tip!
