We overeat, go on diets, break down, and return to our usual eating habits. It looks like a vicious circle. Often we don’t think about why this is happening.
Many of us know the word "diet" firsthand. For women, the diet is akin to a magic gin from a bottle, which promises instant weight loss, and with it all other problems.
It's no secret that overeating is the main reason for gaining adipose tissue. This is the easiest way to get rid of stress caused by such negative emotions as fear, resentment, anger, etc. Overeating not only allows you to get rid of psychological discomfort to some extent, but also helps to feel protected. The very thought of a favorite treat in anticipation of the feeling of eating a bite of your favorite cake from a nearby bakery can significantly boost your mood and energize your day.
- There are a few key things to recognize that usually accompany eating when overeating:
- The process of absorbing food improves mood.
- In most cases, we eat even when we are not hungry.
- Often we eat unconsciously, without controlling the quantity and quality of food consumed.
- The flavor profile of food is much more important than its healthiness.
With this attitude to nutrition, diets become ineffective. If you do not fundamentally change your habits, diets will not bring long-term results. A person turns to dieting as a means of quickly losing weight. In fact, the diet should become a lifestyle, an individually tailored style of healthy and balanced eating.
Thus, the reasons for overeating run much deeper than we might imagine. This is how we deal with everyday stressful situations. Short-term diets are not able to give the desired result if we do not fundamentally change our attitude to nutrition and learn to relate to it consciously.
