'ALWAYS DO THE SAME THING expecting different results That said Albert Einstein, the great scientist and if only we pause a moment, we would realize how true this statement holds ...
shame not to stop often, though!
The human being, we have said, is by nature a creature of habit ... that is, repeated actions and behaviors that are normal when they are not useful for this purpose.
proceeds always adopting the same ways of doing things because they are part of his background that repeats those same attitudes even when they do not produce the desired results.
Why? Why is accustomed to do this ...
If we transfer this concept to the objective of losing weight and go back to being a thin person, of course, it happens that often repeat the same patterns again and again, even if you do not give us the desired results. We put on a diet, eliminating certain foods, grams every single food that we bring to the mouth, forcing us to stress that lasts for as long as we call ourselves "good" to desist miserably and return point at the head, before recovering the next time ...
continuous cycle of repeated actions without clear results if not temporary ...
Then, drawing on a phrase that greatest of all time has left us perhaps continue on that road is not the best move ... is not a useful strategy in our target ..
must do something different to get different results ..
And I propose to continue, after having taken into account by modeling the Magri course we know, with an easy tool, always at your fingertips, allowing you to monitor how much and what you eat : rules GiustopesoperSempre
In summary, these brief but know that they are a useful tool that once made you alone will make a difference
The first rule is that of eaten just feel hungry.
What does this mean? It means to eat whenever you feel hungry, the real one, not that the physiological and emotional. How do you tell which is real hunger? With questions:
-
What is my body in this regard? (I feel weak, exhausted? How many hours have passed since the last meal or snack?)
-
If it is not real hunger, I'm trying to meet that need with the desire for food? (I feel tired .. bored .. sad .. angry?)
-
What can I do differently to meet this need that is not eating? (I can find an equally rewarding alternative to food? What can I do and with whom? Who can I ask for help in these moments?
answering these simple questions you are doing two important things: the first are still postponing to eat and the second you're giving your brain an alternative to jet out of control on food
The second rule is that of EAT THAT 'THAT YOU WANT, AND OFTEN IN SMALL DOSES
What does this mean? You can eat whatever you want ... there are no forbidden foods .... the chocolate should not be demonized, as well as bread and pasta ... is not the quality that creates problems is the amount .. a square of chocolate eaten with confidence does not do any harm ... chocolate bars are repeated over time that are not good ... You can eat often and in small doses because it keep high and constant level of energy and your metabolism will thank you with gratifying pound less on the scale. If you have observed Magri course you will have realized that they make their way ... difficult to make a gargantuan meals, eat often, always have snacks on hand to break the morning and afternoon waiting for the main meals. And as a result do not get hungry and ready to catapult into the pot.
The third says always leave something in the Pot
I know many of you were horrified ... Not wasting food, you say ... million people die of hunger ... taught me so my parents .. my grandparents ... In short, it's something that just will not do!
But I ask you to reflect on these observations:
-
if clean up your plate and maybe that of your family, how to use six of those poor children who die of hunger?
-
if it bothers you to throw away the leftover food in the trash, when you've eaten the right portion of your nutritional requirements, one that continues to throw in is not always "thrown" even if in your stomach instead of the bucket?
-
We are in 2010 who is here in Italy does not have a refrigerator? Why does not necessarily mean throwing forward? You can not keep the leftover food in the refrigerator for later use it at your next meal, perhaps recycle it in some tasty recipe?
Advancing even just a couple of bites on your plate you give your brain a message that is very specific and that do not have to finish what you have before you ... the food there now, there will be late and there will always be, so it is not necessary that you make it light ... We are not in times of famine, indeed quite the opposite!
The fourth rule is in my opinion the most important LAYING THE RANGE AFTER BITE
How many times have we come to the end of the meal, we feel burst, and we did not even realize you have eaten?
Place the knife and fork after each bite (or chopsticks ... or keeping both hands on the mouth if we eat a sandwich) has several purposes:
If we eat fast food often tasted, the almost swallow without chewing and digestion with consequences for the satisfaction derived from the taste of the food itself
Chew slowly allows to pass those famous 20 minutes it takes before your stomach sends a signal of satiety to the brain, if you do not spend this time "technical" our brain does not perceive that his friend stomach has had enough and you can stop ... that you continue to ingest food with the result that the hour of those 20 minutes then you feel burst. Eating slowly can also have time to talk with the stomach to ask if they still want those last few bites and not land them in the mouth automatically ..
The fifth rule: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY EVERY DAY MORE '
Listen to your body is a duty we owe to ourselves .. Do not we realize our body gives us signals when something does not work ... Learning to listen to the slightest variation, which is weight gain, loss of muscle tone, endurance, strength, breath ... Learning to listen to the signals that sends us in terms of muscle or bone idle for too much or too much activity ... Learning to listen to time in order to secure an old age in health and wellness is crucial to personal and social level. Life expectancy has lengthened over the last century and will grow more and more ... would be a shame to have so many years to live, but being forced to live them evil for having neglected at the right time .... Think about it ...
The sixth rule says if you have a doubt to be satisfied, STOP!
When you're in front of the doubt to be satisfied, even if you do not have certainty but only a doubt, what are you doing? Go ahead because so much while you're at?? Continue after half an hour because then maybe you hungry again? No! If we doubt you to be satisfied, STOP! If you hunger after half an hour because that certainly was not correct, eat something again, you will comply with the rule that says EAT JUST FEEL FAME ...
When you ask yourself the question arises if the bites are always good in the same way as the first .... if what you have on your plate as appetizing when you think you started .... if the desire to continue is not merely a habit .... When we doubt you left the table for a few minutes and try to feel sensations that you feel ... the seat belt is already tight ... If the stomach already pulls ....
Try ... evidence and experience! This is not to do the same thing ..... this is something different that experience is all right there ....
At first everything will seem perhaps a bit 'articulated but you'll see that with perseverance and practice will become easier and replace the old habit of "eating quickly" with the new "chew slowly and enjoy the food"
We're doing a large job, a job of responsibility and freedom in comparison with food and emotions tied to it ... Continue your journey to your new shape ... physical and mental ...
nice time ...
