so there’s a lot of things that make us want to overeat snack way too much that really interfere with intermittent fasting you have the flavorings of the food especially processed foods that people have addictions to msg of course sugar empty calories that don’t have the nutrients that satisfy us people eat because they’re bored there’s stress but there’s one more thing that i actually forgot to mention in other videos and that has to do with distractions i’m talking about when you eat and you watch tv at the same time or you’re on your cell phone the awareness of okay i had enough i’m done i’m full tends to be interfered with when you get distracted so there’s a couple different brain centers that control taste through your tongue and then also smell which by the way is like 80 percent of taste and so this is why if you have a cold your sense of taste is pretty it’s pretty much shot so you have these receptors that are picking up information cause you to be hungry eat and then the nutrient feedback loops are supposed to come back and turn off that mechanism so you’re full so you can stop eating so there’s a couple things that you need to do if you’re in that situation number one you need to of course not have that junk food available in your house very important so you’re not tempted you also have to be just increase your awareness of the perception of how full you are and how satisfied you are but of course it’s even more important to avoid those empty carbohydrates that will just never turn off the hunger because they’re empty and but they’re very flavorful so you’ll keep eating them also chewing longer is another thing you can do there’s even this gentleman who i read about a while ago who they think his name was fletcher who was teaching at that time the most important thing to maintain your weight and improve your digestion is to chew so he would recommend that you needed to chew a hundred times before you swallowed that would definitely help you be more satisfied because you’re increasing your awareness of just chewing longer versus just inhaling it and not really even chewing it you also have buying nuts in their shells like let’s say you had walnuts right you’re going to snack on walnuts but you had to de-shell them that would be a barrier that would add more time and of course at the very minimum you can have the pistachios with the shells which take a little bit longer versus just a straight de-shelled nuts where you’re just like shoveling them in your mouth oh how about chopsticks right i know if i had to use chopsticks i would go hungry right they’re very complex i don’t know how people use them and also if let’s say you had dinner and you’re gonna have a keto snack right after or dessert really set a limit of how much you’re going to allow yourself to eat because if you’re getting distracted whether it’s a social event and then all of a sudden you realize oh my gosh i just had way too many and now you’re bloated and you’re congested and the next morning you wake up hungry because you ate way too much and you factored your blood sugars so the motto of this video is mindful eating keeping your awareness very high hey before you go real quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you here is your environment is focused on this over here avoiding your environment but what about here what about strengthening your immune system that’s what’s missing this course will show you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate and resist your environment much better by strengthening your own immune system i put a link down in the description right down below check it out and get signed up today
