Handling Problem Diet Foods: 7 Simple Techniques to Stay on Your Diet When Surrounded by Goodies

We are all familiar with the "red light foods," those pesky treats seem not control. Take them home causes a major urge to eat. Before we knew it, we eat something pretty for a fork remains longer on a plate. (In other words, even if you put on a plate!) 

Once you've done that with our multi-thousand excess calories, guilt and shame and to put in the thought process, " As long as I'm spoiled that it hit right could really "begins. The spiral intensifies. Spirit falls. Weight up. There is no food in the house is safe now.

"Yellow light foods" does not usually cause intoxication, but consumed in large quantities, once a "red light foods" has activated the trigger. For example, cereals could sit quietly and safely in the closet for month. However, after inhaling a peanut butter jar and hunt in full swing, the "Sweet puffies" box left quickly.


Of course, "green light foods" are those that do not cause a problem, no matter what. I rarely heard anyone admit that he / she ate last night too celery. These foods are safe to have around .


What to do with these foods?


1. Realize everyone has a red light meal or two. (The average respondent in a survey had more than four.) It is not weak and condemned to a life of obesity due to a craving for pizza. For some reason, we associate the pizza (or whatever the food of choice) with the comfort or pleasure or safety.



 Each of us could use more fun in our lives. No 'give up' on the desire for a better life. (If the shame and guilt were motivational, we'd all be thin.) The key is to make every behavior has a side effect (the result is not the intention) and sometimes the most damaging side effect is the main advantage.

Accept that there is not yet ready to handle food choices and be attentive to their appearance in the kitchen (and workplace). As stated Wendell Phillips (speaking at Harvard University in 1852), "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."


2. Learn to live without food. (Oh!) In fact, this can be a risky strategy. Too often we say we will just "give up" what could be our food choices. We survived sometimes digging nails into studs to run to the nearest store mom and dad when we urge clubs. 


 However, the pressure rises, the desire intensifies, increasing desire - and finally suffering an "explosion of food" for the impairment of several months in a single session (or "permanent" more appropriate) , a reaction usually caused by a sense of deprivation.

If you do not feel deprived by eliminating that food from your life, it is the best strategy. If you feel that you are taking away their food as "must" do, try a different approach. Remember that not every solution works for everyone. That's why the brand of chocolate and vanilla. (Hmm, maybe not this the best example I could have used it here ...)


3. Ask for help. If frozen food is a red light for you and your husband insists on entering the house, you wonder if there is an alternative. Could you use a flavor that you do not like? (Is it a flavor similar?) Can you eat when you are not around? He could not let the eye in the freezer?  


You can eat when you go to the difference when you're home? Many times our families do not seek help. (Is it because they could not accept to do it and are looking for a reason to "go"?) Get support whenever possible; family and friends are on their side (if. they are not, why are you with them?)

4. Find lower in calories and low in fat substitutes. Sugar free soda replaced regular soda. Fat cheese can be used instead of the "real thing." True taste might not be so funny - but this could be just the ticket that makes you think twice before eating. If you do, the "damage" will be lower because of fewer calories.


5. Eat foods that when you leave. My big flashing red light comes peanut butter (sigh ...). I learned (sometimes) if "I always do what I've always done, I will always be where you've always been." Every time in the past, I brought in my house consumes me all ( sometimes having to run to the store to buy a new bottle and eat it at the previous so no one knows what I did.) Finally, after years of walking into walls, I went and opened a door and there I learned to put it in my house. 


This order me from the children's menu in many restaurants did not stop (I just tell them I'm immature.) My peanut butter and jelly sandwich comes in a bright shiny plate with a glass of milk and a biscuit I'm glad smile The world is good.. I'm on my peanut butter.

6. Purchase only small packets. No lead in the giant bag of luxury cookies. Just buy a small package of four biscuits on arrival stand. Count toward your program. In the case of excess, evil is minimized.


7. Wait ten minutes. The best advice I received was to wait ten minutes before eating any time. More often, the desire to eat is due to a trigger. Pull pass (really!); Just in general, we do not expect enough to know.


When you want to eat through the mind, take strong and watch the clock. Promise yourself that you have to wait ten minutes and then decide. If you're really hungry, the desire is not going away (and no, not going to die of hunger in this period of time). If it is a habit, 80% of time is going to happen and forget about food for a while.


If 80% of the time you have the urge to eat - and to do it - you will lose a lot of weight.



(One suggestion: Don't set a timer. All it will do is remind you when time's up.)
