Why you gain weight? Here's how to fix it!




Poor dietary habits and a lack of self-control from youth could cause people not to have self-control when desired in adulthood. Religiousness and spirituality, may even seem ineffective due to poor habits learned from their childhood.


Not understanding the "true" amount of time it takes to obtain meat and vegetables, as well as the time it takes to prepare them as meals, for example, as if you lived in a rural area of Africa where food is not convenient, having to be collected individually, can lead to problems with personal overeating. Busy and highly populated areas now operate like an obstacle course that people now have to demonstrate strong efforts of self-control. Why? People are able to access food in a rapid amount of time, even being encouraged by picture advertisements, television ads, and radio announcements that drive them into getting a quick bite, even when they are oppressed by time.


DESENSITIZATION related to physical and mental awareness can be problematic.

Our body’s work at the same rate of health and healing, as food becomes more convenient and readily available. This makes technological advances contributing to food accessibility and food quality factors (e.g. processed foods, quicker cooking methods, triggered eating rates, and fast-rate delivery options) concerns that we have to control around our lifestyles. The world has a kind of telecommunication network that operates as an “invisible fence” that encourages busy schedules and incentives "to-do". High paced workflows that distract people from their minds, spiritual awareness, and body's level of "true" satisfaction sometimes lead to weight gain and poor health.





Our lack of physical and mental sensitivity can be linked to working too much (worry is work too!)

People subtly neglect their bodies as they focus on high-paced world demands, only to come to a quick awareness of how they neglected themselves. This neglect leads them to search out how they can correct their health and appearance, using either fitness or medical attention as a solution.



Be aware of ...

  • How does seeing food affects you? (How food looks could be enticing)

  • How does smelling food affects you.? (The smell of food could lead to memories and urges.)

  • How do you respond to food textures and tastes? (Pleasurable sensations from food could be encouraging...they're designed to be.)

  • How do you respond to stress or work fatigue (Being tired or taking a break from work could be linked to eating.)

  • What are some of the positive things you say about unhealthy food? (Words associated with unhealthy food could encourage you to eat badly.)




Grocery shopping unhungry can keep you focus on what you really should be buying—shop when you are not hungry.

How to repair your eating patterns

Before easy to obtain credit and extra money from inflation was present in our lives, food options were selective and prioritized in many households. The convenience for obtaining food was even considered when choosing what to eat; for example, family mood, how food would be delivered, and who would pick up food mattered. Below are some ways that your eating patterns and habits can be slowly restored to controllable—back to what your family once knew!





Here are some AMAZING TIPS that WILL WORK...

  • Fasting helps with normalizing food consumption rates— e.g. how long it takes you to eat, what you eat, and when you eat.

  • Daily extra movement at home or work "secretly" adds physical activity in the form of exercise .

  • Determine what activities, including reading or work, lead to hunger—have a low-calorie snack available, snacking is sometimes impulsive when we aren't thinking!

  • Having a religious focus, routine, worship, or ritual could keep you busy and limits your food options, food choices, and ability to obtain food.

  • Bringing only select types of foods into your home or apartment reduces the choices of foods that you can willfully eat.

  • If you must, find a low calorie, "filling" food that can satisfy sudden urges when you want a snack or feel hungry—eat a full meal when you can.
