Did you ever force yourself to eat something you didn’t like because you thought it would help you lose weight or because you thought it was really healthy? If so, you are not the only one. Studies show that 8 out of 10 people will eat something they don’t like in the hope of losing weight…. resulting in a negative relationship with food. Like any other relationship in your life, if it’s not positive the odds of it lasting aren’t very good. And if your negative relationship does last, it’s not going to be doing you any good for your body and mind.
A positive food relationship is key for weight loss. It’s also very important when you are trying to maintain your weight. You have to like what you are eating and enjoy what you are eating, or it won’t last. In order to have a continued weight loss or to maintain your weight loss you have to do things that will last forever. Eating foods you like and really enjoy, will ensure that you continue with it and as a result will continue for your weight loss and maintenance.
In order to begin a positive food relationship you should begin by finding foods that you enjoy that are healthy and incorporate them into your menu. There are foods all around you that are healthy and taste great. Start with Vegetables, Fruits, low fat and low calories foods that are high in protein and fiber. Look for foods that are low on the GI Sugar list. When you are eating foods that you enjoy it becomes a positive experience. You look forward to eating healthy foods that are not only delicious but that are helping you lose weight. When you look forward to eating healthy clean foods that are also helping you lose weight and keeping you healthy…..you have developed a positive relationship, and positive relationships last.
