Food substitution can have many effects on your body that can help you, not only lose weight, but help you keep your sanity. Everything you have been told about dieting can go out the window if you learn the principles of food substitution.
Obesity- How to substitute foods in your diet? Here are a few keys you need to learn:
Shifting from one food to another involves more than taste, it involves satisfying hunger. You need to feel less hungry with the new food.
Volume of food needs to be increased or maintained. Never change one product for another if it means eating less.Substituting a bag of chips for one apple will not do it at all. If your bag of chips is 1000 calories you need to eat many apples. One medium apple is 75 calories. You need to eat 13 apples to replace the calorie content of your bag of potato chips. If you do not, you will be hungry. Try eating 13 apples one after another.
Substitute half of what you drink by water. Do not drink less just drink smart. Dieting means having to do without, this is not about dieting.
Eat more often, yes eat as soon as you are hungry. Always have food around you to relieve the hunger.
If you are obese and healthy, all of these suggestions will help you become more confident in your ability to manage your food intake. You need to confuse the messages you are sending your body and give it a new direction. Yes, many of you are young enough to be obese yet healthy. Start shifting or substituting foods today and you will see and feel results very quickly.
P.S. Try eating 13 apples, one after another. You will learn something you will never forget. Ask your kids to try this and see what they think. Trust me, you will be amazed.
Food for thought.
