There is one underlying issue here. The only way to lose weight is to eat less than we are currently eating, somehow.
I
am not convinced that obesity/overeating is not a mental defect like
religion. It is part tradition and part not understanding that beliefs are separate from facts and reality.
What would be the effect of redefining for yourself what hunger is. Consider the light hunger/could eat hunger. If I were to ignore this and wait until I had that miserable hunger in the gut, then eat a few "grains of rice", and that were the standard of our society, I would not have a weight problem. I am suggesting that the weight issue is a society problem, at least within a subset of society. Eat, eat, is the cry of grandmothers. And advertising. And of mothers, well some mothers, certainly where I was raised. Is overeating just an ingrained mental defect? Like religion.
Will redefining hunger really work? The only way to know is to test the concept.
"Mental defect" is kinda harsh - I would chalk up more to strong elements of "Tradition" with many emotional underpinnings...
ReplyDeleteIn my family, FOOD was central to any gathering or celebration, w/an AYCE mentality taking front & center! (If you didn't go back for seconds, fears would be expressed for your health)
Redefining hunger is an interesting concept - but one thing is absolutely certain, at least in MY case: that carbs beget appetite! I splurged on a big sandwich yesterday, yet woke up this AM hungry & 2 lbs heavier from sodium & fluid retention, the calorie count certainly doesn't add up.
