So, I was reading the subtitles to +Rachael Ray Show (click here for the link to the actual episode) yesterday at the gym, and this guy, Dr. Michael Mosley, was talking about the Fast Diet. I didn't really like the diet, but one thing I did like from him was about how we can "train" our bodies.
He talked about how when we get really hungry, the food we go for is what we have trained our bodies to "cure" hunger. So, when you get really hungry and you go straight for the bread like my hubby or cookies like I do, it is because that is what you have trained your body to crave when hungry.
It may take a while, but according to this, you can train your body to fight hunger with something else. Has anyone ever told you to drink some water instead of eating because it is usually thirst, not hunger? It's a case of mistaken identity.
So, my proposal is this: next time you are SO hungry and you think, "Hmm, tacos sound good" or "Cookies. . .",
STOP.
Remember this blog post! Grab yourself a large glass of water and some fruit, nuts, or veggies (carrots are great). You do this often enough, and you won't be craving those not-as-healthy hunger-busters.
What do you think?
