Doing This One Simple Thing Can Help Ensure That You Experience Lasting Weight Loss Success After HCG!
Most of the things we do in life is a direct result of what we have lived and learned. From the moment we are born and even through adulthood, most habits that we pick up are gradually obtained over time. How we eat and the relationship that we have with food is no exception.
Whether it's what we learned from our parents, or a problem we developed all on our own, the way we eat is one of the hardest habits to break.
However, if you can overcome just one of these main habits you will drastically increase your chances of success.
So what is this simple thing that can be such a huge game changer?
One important thing that will help keep you from gaining back the weight after HCG is simply eating up until the point that you are satisfied - It really is as simple as that. So this means smaller portions and rarely going back for seconds.
If you ask me, and a lot of people often do, this bad habit probably accounts for 75% of diet failures.
But doesn't it seem that eating until you virtually can't eat any more is not something that we were born with, but rather something that we've learned.
When my two older children were toddlers, I would always look at them and think that they were never eating enough. But knowing what I know now, I think that babies are better than adults at regulating how much they eat. The reality is it is us as parents that teach them to eat more and more. So over time that is what they come to know. The problem with that is, we are going by today's standards of how much food is really enough to satisfy us.
But you can't really blame us for thinking that either - Take a look at fast food restaurants for example, not only is most of the food that they offer extremely fattening and unhealthy, their attempts to give it to you in mass quantities are basically made mandatory by the higher ups.
I'm not even going to go into the different ingredients that they put into food to cause you to become addicted to it. I know it all sounds like a big conspiracy theory but it's true.
So avoid eating out as much as humanly possible too. Because that coupled with the myth that people can eat anything they want after the HCG Diet ends is just a recipe for failure.
Believe me when I tell you that retraining yourself to eat until you are satisfied and not stuffed like a Thanksgiving Turkey can be a lot harder than it may seem. But if you have been successful in sticking to the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Plan, you are already well on your way to slaying this dragon.
Here Are A Couple Of Tricks To Overcoming Your Old Eating Habit:
Although it can be helpful with certain foods, counting calories really isn't necessary.
The trick is to eat just until the point of feeling satisfied. Eventually after eating smaller portions over time your body will adjust. And because you have been eating such a small amount of food with the HCG VLCD, as long as you don't go right back to your older ways, it should be easier than if you hadn't done the diet at all.
So simply choose to eat smaller portions and honestly it is almost never needed to go back for seconds.
Another trick is to close your eyes while eating. This allows you to let your body tell you when you are through rather then eating until your plate is clean - Although this may seem a little on the extreme side it works really well.
But remember, even though these tricks may be helpful, in the end it really comes down to you making the change -- And before you know it your mind and body will be on the same page.
NOTE: Any puns that I have made in reference to food are completely intentional.
What other methods are helpful for eating less food?
