Okay I swear I wasn't looking up weight loss resources. I'm not even attempting to lose some pounds but this came out on the Facebook news feed this morning. I had to laugh.
Seriously? Please don't do this....
I can't imagine missing out on great flavors. I love food. The most important thing is not to only enjoy it but develop a healthy relationship with it. By clipping your nose? Come on. Food doesn't cause you to gain weight. It's the choices you make. The only thing that should be blamed is you. So respect your body, practice portion control and learn to appreciate the fresh flavors in healthy food!
While it may not look like much on your plate, it might be all you really need for the next couple hours until your next meal. Remember, it's not your last meal. So eat as if there will be a next one, not as if it's your last meal. Train your body to take in reasonable amounts. If you're trying to lose weight, you might feel like your tummy's still empty after half a sandwich and a cup of soup--that's because your body hasn't gotten used to reduced intake. It remembers how much you used to take in. So give it time and soon your body will start to accept your new eating strategy.
And seriously?
Your insulin levels is going to be spiking up like a five year old on black coffee doused with bottles of 5-hour ENERGY. When there is too much insulin in your blood, your fat cells won't release fat to be used as fuel. Instead, it'll hibernate wherever it pleases. You don't want this. Note that the article says it "helps to curb cravings," not eliminate. Despite reduced cravings, starting the day with a chocolate cake is one of the worst things you can do to your body. It won't run long enough on fast-digesting simple sugars. Don't treat it like trash. Your body is worth more than that so ALWAYS start your day with a balanced breakfast so everything stays active and balanced inside. Yes, you are what you eat. And go ahead, have a small piece of that cake later in the day!
