breaking
unhealthy patterns By John Erickson

1.
Choose the right diet technique:
A fad diet
is a diet that restricts any of the 3 macronutrients: protein,
carbohydrates and fat. If you go on a diet that restricts
fat, this will leave you hungry, deprived and prone to binge
eating. Choosing a diet that restricts carbohydrates will
cause hunger and a poor metabolism.
2. Take
a fish oil supplement: Fish oil facilitates positive
mood patterns by regulating nerve transmission.
3. Journal
your food intake: People who keep a food and exercise
journal are proven more successful.
4. Allow
yourself at least 2 cheat meals per week. I recommend
people set one or two cheat meal meals per week to keep
you from feeling totally deprived, and to throw your metabolism
a curve ball. It's always good to give yourself a little
stress test once and a while.
5. Eat
regularly to keep your blood sugar stabilized.
Blood sugar, or glucose is the only source of fuel for your
brain and central nervous system. Adequate blood sugar levels
keep your brain content with the present moment. By contrast,
skipping meals runs the brain on empty which sets off uncontrollable
junk food cravings.
