Solutions to common fat loss problems, part 2....
Today's Post: Thursday, 12-22-2011
We posted on solutions to 3 of the most important problems in part one last Tuesday, 12-20-2011.
1. Effective fat loss plans that do not turn on your body’s famine response succeed and you can keep the fat off. Diet, temporary starvation routines always turn on the famine response and fail. That post has the solutions that make up an effective fat loss plan.
2. Foods and drinks most people now think of as normal that did not exist or didn’t exist at all in their current forms 100 years ago. But they are NOT normal. That post has a bit about how that happened and why virtually avoiding all these foods and drinks makes hunger free fat loss almost easy. People who have been consuming a lot of these can lose tens of pounds with almost no other changes.
3. A key strategy in a fat loss plan that does not turn on your body’s famine response is to exercise. But finding time to exercise can be quite challenging. The post last Tuesday had 3 proven ways to find the time to exercise.
This post begins solutions to 3 more common fat loss problems.
4. Stress triggered eating.
5. Friends and family and neighbors are fat.
6. How to persist, lose all your fat or close to it, and keep it off.
4. Stress triggered eating.
Some stress is so severe that the shock and adrenalin response completely turn off your appetite.
But most of the stress people have is chronic and mild to severe. The effect of this kind of stress is similar to the effects of the famine response.
People become more hungry for “comfort” foods that may be from the not really normal list and horribly fattening. It always tends to cause more appetite for sugary and fattier foods.
There are two ways to beat it.
Be less stressed. And, avoid this effect when you are stressed
Being less stressed IS possible. It’s not often easy. But there are ways you can have less stress. You can prevent some kinds of stress. You can escape or turn off some stressful problems, and you can turn off your body’s stress response.
The post we did: High leverage ways to live longer, part 2.... Thursday, 12-8-2011 covers these three methods in detail because people who do these 3 things age more slowly, have better health, and live longer.
Bonus for this post.: In that post we forgot three great ways to turn off your body’s stress response.
a) Believe it or not you can get quite substantial if brief stress relief AND wake up a bit too within a few seconds. You don’t even have to learn how because it was already wired in when you were born! Just take a few seconds and yawn and stretch on purpose.
(People you know you or who see you as similar to them in some way will tend to yawn too and get the same stress relief often without even realizing it.)
b) Another blogger reminded me that watching videos or old movies you think are funny and laugh at also can be superb stress relief.
c) Doing a fast set of a relatively vigorous exercise also gives you almost instant if brief stress relief.
Being stressed without giving in to fattening foods also works.
If you follow the methods that cause hunger free fat loss that does not trigger your body’s stress response, your real hunger will be low or reasonable.
Saying no to stress caused eating is dramatically easier when your real hunger is not also high! Women who always eat a filling and health OK breakfast can say no to very fattening treats found in some offices MUCH more easily than women who haven’t eaten since last night as one example.
If you’ve eaten food that turns down your hunger and fills your tummy with some fiber too and some food that you enjoy eating, if you do reach for comfort food, it’s dramatically easier to have just a bit instead of a lot more.
Another way is to know the health harms of the ingredients of some of the worst treat foods. You may be hungrier for them from stress. But focusing on what those ingredients will do to you can make it much, much easier to pass completely.
The last way I’ll list is to refuse to eat treat foods that you don’t really like that much normally. Only eat those you normally really like. And just eat some while remembering that you are aiming to average mostly healthy and nonfattening foods.
Next time we’ll cover 5. Friends and family and neighbors are fat --
and how to overcome the effects of that.
