Mindful Weight Loss Diet



The first step towards attaining or maintaining an ideal weight is recognizing weight management is more about thought processes and lifestyle than food.  Thousands of dieters start a fast diet regime every day, one that may indeed melt off a few excess pounds immediately, only to have an emotional issue or craving throw them back into making unhealthy choices.  Understanding one’s relationship to food is crucial to reprogramming self-defeating patterns.
 
Secondly, creating a vast array of choices other than food for emotional needs and building a reserve base of alternatives for times when ‘chocolate calls’ or the smell of a favorite comfort food beckons gives the dieter an upper hand over old counter-productive patterns.  A network of supportive friends to call or a planned activity to replace non-hunger related craving for food builds new neurological patterns that become healthy habits.
