My Body Tutor : No More Excuses

So I’ve been paying attention to this closely for a while now. I know that when I eat certain foods, it makes me want other foods. Nothing new there.

But what is new is actually knowing what your trigger foods are!

For example, whenever I have ketchup, I have to have pickles. Ketchup just makes me in the mood for pickles. Harmless enough.

Here’s another one: Whenever I have marinara sauce, it makes me want chocolate.

And another: Whenever I have salty chips, it makes me in the mood for sugar.

Here’s one for many people: Whenever they have a few drinks, sometimes too many, it makes them in the mood for anything and everything.

Being aware of your trigger foods is really helpful if the foods aren’t MBT approved. Start thinking about that today and this weekend.

Does eating one food always lead to another?

Ya have to have those fries with that burger right? Guilty.

Ya have to dip the bread into the sauce right? Guilty.

I can go on and on.

It’s interesting though when you start noticing these patterns because I think it’s a lot easier to resist marinara sauce than it is chocolate.

And at the very least being aware of this helps a lot. It’s the first step to breaking free from the conditioning we’re used to.
