Thinking about getting in shape? Well, the first thing that you need to consider
would be your diet. What you are eating and how much you are eating would
decide how quickly and better you get in shape.
Now, of course, the first idea you get from this is that you should start to diet. Cut
off the carbs, the fats and a lot of other things from your diet. But the truth is you
don’t need to do that to get in shape, with the right kind of foods and by
keeping yourself close to nature and your roots, you can keep your body in very
good shape. It’s called intuitive eating.
What is intuitive eating?
You must have heard about this from a lot of people. If put into simple words,
intuitive eating is simply eating, but healthy eating. It does not restrict you from
cutting off any foods from your diet, rather it helps you to understand your body
and get the signals that it shows when something is not good for it. It frees you
from intense dieting and it creates a much healthy relationship with food. It’s all
about connecting with your roots.
Why intuitive eating is important?
If you don’t feed your body what it needs, you will never be able to maintain a
healthy weight and get in shape. Everybody is different and has different
requirements. What worked for someone else might not work for you. With
intuitive eating, you will be better be able to tune with your body.
You will know what your body requires, which foods it reacts to the best and
which foods it rejects. Only then you will be able to eat right and when you eat
right you can very easily maintain a healthy weight.
So, its all about intuition, you use your own mind to understand your body, you
use your intuition to reckon what your body would accept and what it would
reject. But how do you that? How do you eat with intuition? Well, keep reading to find
out everything about how you can learn to eat with intuition.
How can you eat with intuition?
Intuitive eating is pretty easy if you get the foods right and would be willing to
give up junk food. So, let's see how you can eat with intuition.
1. Forget about the starving diet plans
First things first, you will have to let go of that dangerous diet and stop
starving yourself. You don’t need to deprive yourself of food to get a
healthy weight. Accept the fact that those girls on the magazines are not
real, its all photoshop, and in real life, the glamorous are also like normal
girls with diverse body types. The photoshop might put them in the same
type but we know that it's not true. So, forget about being hungry all the
time and let’s switch to something good.
2. Put your phone down and turn off the tv while you eat
For once you will have to put down the phone while you eat. You have to
be mentally present there mentally while you eat. Know what you are
eating, how much you are eating, do you need another serving of food,
or you are full enough. When you are using your phone or watching tv
while eating, your mind is more focused on other activities rather than on
the food. This leads to excessive eating and not being able to fully
understand how your body has taken the food.
3. Eat when you are hungry
Starving yourself is never the right option. Don’t let hunger be your enemy.
Whenever you are hungry just feed yourself with something light. It will
keep your body functioning properly.
4. Stop Overeating
Just as you should eat when you are hungry, similarly you should stop
eating when you are full. Overfeeding leads to unhealthy weight gain and
effects the shape of your body. So be generous and eat only the amount
that is required. This is mindful eating when you are focused on your food
you will know how much more you need to eat and when you are full.
5. Give up emotional eating
One of the unhealthiest habits that you can have is emotional eating.
Excessive eating has never saved a problem and it never will. So, stop
emotional eating, you are just putting on weight for not a solid reason.
Find other ways to cope with your emotions.
6. Health is wealth
Nothing is more important in this world than your own health. You can
have all the money in the world but if you don’t have health, everything
else becomes useless. So, give importance to your health. Eat healthy
food. Cut out the junk food and replace it with fresh and healthy food.
Your body deserves it.
7. Only you know what your body needs
There are only two people in this world who know what your body
requires, you and your doctor. You can take help from a dietician to
suggest a healthy diet plan according to your body requirements, or you
can do that for yourself. You know how your body reacts to different
foods that you feed it with, so only you can cut off the bad effects and
add some more new good effects.
Remember fruits and vegetables are your friends forever. So how about
you switch to the healthy foods for some time and see if that has a good
effect on your body which it surely will. Always trust your own instincts
when it comes to food. With the help of a doctor, you know what’s best
for you. So, if some other girl is buying a product, doesn’t mean it would
be good for you too.
So, these are some small and brief tips that you can use to learn how to eat with
intuition. Eating with intuition simply means that you keep your body well fed
with only the healthy food. It is about going back to your roots and eating fresh
and free of chemicals. Remember there is nothing more important than your
health.
