Eating like a habit

Have you ever thought that food is a habit? You do it automatically every day and do not realise what you are eating. Unfortunately, in most cases we do not eat right. We do not eat in order to live, but use food in any way: as a reward, to seize our problems or seize a terrible hunger. This is actually a bad habit.

There is another eating algorithm when you eat as much as your body needs in order to grow, lose weight, or vice versa to increase weight. You eat often and variably, do not starve and are full of energy.

And this is a completely different habit. And its acquisition requires a lot of effort, but the results will return a hundredfold.

I want to offer you some tricks that will help you develop the habit of eating right.

1. If you have a desire to start, start immediately.

Do not put off until later what you can and should start now. As practice shows, “then” will not be soon.

It is best to start, try and get your own personal experience. Then you will understand: what results he brought, whether to continue it, or what to improve and develop, so that he brings you great results.

2. Realise that the habit will serve you for a long time.

You cannot instantly create something sustainable and bringing results now and in the future. There will be mistakes, difficult moments ... and results. The main thing is not to dwell on the first difficulties, to learn from mistakes.

3. Set a goal.

A destination is a point in a route that you are striving for at a particular point in time. Upon reaching it, it is clear to you that you have come a certain way and come to the result. This is the main function of the goal.

4. Start from simple too complex.

Proper nutrition is a large number of changes in your eating habits. It is difficult to simultaneously make all these changes without errors and / or return to the previous state.

The best technique is to start with simple changes. For example, start drinking 2 litres of water per day or start eating rhythmically every 2-3 hours. Then proceed to complex changes: limit yourself from harmful and “empty” products (salt, sugar, fried).

The main thing is to increase complexity without a pause: consolidate simple changes, move on to more complex ones. Lack of dynamics can return you to your original habits.

5. Make a diet a week in advance and pre-cook it.

A diet is a plan of your actions. It will help you not to waste time and energy choosing the right food for you at the moment when you already have to eat. It is advisable to pre-cook food for a few days in advance or to pre-select food options in your dining rooms or cafes. This significantly reduces the likelihood of abandoning a new habit of eating right.

6. Foresee all possible difficult moments in advance and find the best solution for you.

Periodically, your willpower will be depleted. And for this case you will need “Plan B”. In critical conditions, a pre-prepared solution is much better than its absence.

Of these situations, we can distinguish:

4. The desire to refuse food, because many urgent matters.

You can easily find an acceptable solution to situations. I plan to make a separate publication on this topic.

When read, these tricks seem simple to give them enough attention. Habit development is a series of repetitive simple actions that, together, not everyone can perform. And in such an environment, it is important to apply simple, but working solutions that will help you not to stop halfway and achieve your plan.

Hope it was helpful.
