Psychological dependence on food can become the main obstacle on the way to a slim figure. In this case, it is important to learn how to distract yourself from obsessive thoughts about food that is not suitable for a losing weight person.
Instructions
Step 1
Even while dieting, try to eat regularly. A daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner consisting of healthy and low-calorie foods - green vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lean meats - will help you not think of forbidden treats as a snack.
Step 2
Organize your leisure time while dieting. For overweight people, food can become not so much a way of satiety, but an obligatory part of their free time. Try not to stay at home, where the temptation is strong enough to start eating food from the refrigerator. Walking in the fresh air, visiting museums or theaters in your free time will be a good way for you to learn how to relax without food.
Step 3
Go in for sports. Gentle physical activity can help distract you from obsessive thoughts about food. However, be careful when choosing sports. Some of them, like swimming, stimulate appetite. In this case, take a small low-calorie fruit or diet bread with you to the gym or pool - even during a hunger attack, these products will help you keep from buying any non-dietary food.
Step 4
Drink plenty of fluids. It helps to dull the feeling of hunger, and also improves the overall detoxification of the body. This is especially important when following a diet, since less water begins to flow into the body with restriction of food. Prefer warm drinks.
Step 5
If you must prepare meals for a family out of your limits during your diet, try to choose the simplest, quickest meals possible. A long stay in the kitchen can be an unnecessary temptation for you.
Step 6
Hang inspirational images and photographs of the body you want on the refrigerator and other prominent places in your home. This will help you prioritize and deny yourself the food that is harmful to your appearance.
