How to Adopt the Right Mind Set to Offset Processed Food Cravings?
Eating processed foods which contains high sugar content has become an epidemic to our overall health. It is imperative going forward that people become educated with making the right choices to opt for whole unprocessed foods in order to offset the junk food habit. At the same time it is equally important to address your emotional triggers that lead to the consumption of processed foods. Whenever you get a strong desire for processed foods filled with sugars and flour, ask yourself three questions:
- What am I feeling at this time?
- What do I require?
- What will best serve me at this time that is healthy to address this feeling?
People everyday always have a chance to stop and detox from processed foods and the emotional thoughts that trigger cravings. We must re-program our bodies and mindset that best serves our overall well-being long term.
Breaking these addictions and rewiring your brain is possible if you make a commitment to change and take action. A new habit that best serves you takes about 60 days to firmly root itself in your mindset. Here are eight things you can do right now to assist with your journey toward detoxifying from processed foods::
- Eat whole food. Protein and fat derived from cage free animals, wild caught fish, nuts, seeds, veggies, legumes, beans free of GMO are best. Processed, sugary junk foods are not real foods. They set the stage for sugar addiction and lead to obesity and other major health issues
- Regulate blood sugar levels. Eat a nutritious breakfast with some protein like eggs, protein shakes or nut butters. Studies repeatedly show that eating a healthy high-protein breakfast leads to weight loss or proper weight management level. Consume smaller meals throughout the day about 500 calories or less. Eat every three to four hours and have some protein with each snack or meal (lean animal protein, nuts, seeds, beans). Do not eat two hours before bedtime.
- Eliminate Processed Sugar. It is true processed sugar is like heroin in terms of being highly addictive and the negative effects it has the body and mind. You have to re-program your mind set and detox one day at a time using super nutrition to cleanse the body of this poison that does not serve you. You must eliminate refined sugars, sodas, fruit juices and artificial sweeteners from your diet. These are all drugs that fuel sugar addiction.
- Meditate to Reduce Stress. By reducing stress you will help the body to disengage the triggers that crave sugar. Stress and processed foods are marriage made in hell. Learn to address the root cause of your stress and address it with something like yoga, meditation or deep breathing.
- Exercise using Combo of Resistance/Cardio Training. When you have a active workout program this takes the focus off defaulting back to old habits that do not serve you.
- Get 7-8 Hours of Sleep. Lack of sleep always leads to cravings and overeating of processed foods.
- Implement Super Nutrition & Cleanse Program. A program that is easy to use that in the first 30 days will help to establish foundation in the body to reduce or eliminate processed food cravings.
