Gluttony is an unpleasant situation, especially for those who are not satisfied with their own size, who diet painfully and for a long time. Gluttony can also happen to a person who is not losing weight, the cause can be stressful situations, life circumstances, chronic fatigue, negative emotions - melancholy, boredom and etc. If a person has never been concerned about figure problems, has not overeated, and overeating is a new unpleasant experience for him, and if this lasts more than a month, I highly recommend contacting an endocrinologist. If you have observed similar weaknesses in yourself before, and you notice another glutton and cannot stop it, try to react to it a little differently: Allow yourself to glutton! - Horrible? How can this be resolved? - Just allow it and that’s it! Allow yourself to eat whatever you want and as much as you want - but only for a limited time, for example a week. The goal is to relax, relieve tension, stop frightening and scolding yourself. And in this comfortable state, prepare a plan for abstaining from food. It is very important to understand the cause of gluttony! This can be stress, a difficult life situation, accumulated fatigue, suppressed aggression, boredom, loneliness, etc. - a common reason for experiencing negative emotions that you really want to eat. We often experience similar situations and states - and sometimes it’s very painful and unpleasant, that’s why we’re human. And the food has nothing to do with it. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, but look for another non-food way to cope with the problem: find something to do, an interest, a company to communicate with, or a person with whom you can discuss your situation, a new solution to a problem, rest, relaxation, etc. While you are still eating, that’s all Time to prepare yourself for the fact that there will be small restrictions. To begin with, we explain to ourselves that we are NOT going on a diet, we will eat BUT the right food. Gradually (2-3 weeks) remove white bread, sugar, confectionery, and excess fats from your diet. You can leave fruits, dark chocolate, marshmallows, Turkish delight in small quantities in the first half of the day. Add drinks - water, herbal teas, green tea with milk. Instead of eating, you can drink. Snacks in the form of dried fruits, apple chips, biscuits can help. The food should be tasty, look for recipes for tasty and low-calorie dishes. All food should be eaten slowly, with love and pleasure. Be sure to do it 4-5 times a day, away from the TV and computer. Gradually reduce the amount of food per serving by 1:5. The whole process can take from 1.5 to 3 months, the slower the better. If there are breakdowns, and they will be, allow yourself to eat a portion with pleasure, do not scold yourself. But always persistently return to the routine. Diet and gluttony can be a permanent condition. A diet without psychotherapy rarely gives a stable effect; breakdowns and overeating are quite common. Gluttony is a habitual way to cope with a problem and calm down. If you don’t change your response to the problem, don’t find a new creative approach to solving it, then you will definitely have a problem, and after a diet too.
