Losing Weight With "Mindfuless" Eating
Friday, May 21, 2010 - 11:08 am
Most of the weight loss literature discusses how to consciously take control of your eating by counting calories, keeping a food diary or weighing out your food. These techniques, although they can be effective for a period, are quite difficult to maintain for life.
What if there were a better way , a way that uses the power of your strong subconscious mind rather than your weak conscious mind.
In this article, we will teach you a number of techniques for using your subconscious mind to achieve permanent fat loss.
Mindful eating involves being present when you eat; paying attention to the taste, texture and flavors within the food. By using the principle of mindful eating, you allow your brain time to register the food.
Mindfulless eating is a scientific approach to tricking your brain into eating less. Mindfulless eating principles are based on the scientific fact that your satiety is determined more by your environment than your hunger signals. By using scientifically validated techniques, can can literally trick your brain into decreasing caloric intake without feelings of deprivation.
This process involves mindfully preparing your life so that you can cut calories without your concious brain knowing it. Some of these principles include:
1. Using plates that are 10-20% smaller than your usual plates. The brain feels obligated to eat everything that is on your plate. By decreasing the size of the plate, you can trick the brain into feeling satisfied with less food.
2. Start the meal by throwing out 15-25% of the meal. This works on the same principle as described above. If you throw it out, you no longer have to consciously ask yourself if you have had enough.
3. Leave the uneaten food on the table. When your brain is able to see the carnage of your eating, it is able to gauge the quantity that you have already eating.
4. If you purchase bulk containers of food from bulk food stores, immediately separate the quantities into smaller containers. Scientific studies found that people who purchase large containers of food actually eat more when it comes time to make it. This also applies to non-food items, when you purchase bulk containers of shampoo, cleaning agents, etc., you will have a tendency to use more of those products.
Although mindful eating and mindfuless eating are both very powerful; by using these two principles together you can dramatically change your lifestyle and eating habits without feeling deprived! This is a very powerful way to consume less without feeling deprived.
