Jeg har været forkølet over tre omgange den sidste måned/måneder, så jeg fornemmede, at det var tid til en vitaminindsprøjtning – og hvad kunne være bedre end naturens egne frugter og grøntsager til at opfylde dette? Derfor lavede jeg her den anden dag en tallerken med min muttis hjemmebagte rugbrød tilsat avocado og urtesalt, en sliced banana, nogle stave gulerødder og snackpeber. Det var virkelig yummi, og jeg havde det så godt i min krop bagefter.
Hvad plejer I at gøre, når I har været syge længe?
Jeg er i gang med en fantastisk bog. Intuitive Eating er den bog, som ligger fast på mit natbord at the moment. Når jeg har læst den til ende, vil jeg komme nærmere ind på, hvilke emner den berører, men først får I her de ti principper inden for Intuitive Eating:
Intuitive Eating Principles
1. Reject the Diet Mentality. Throw out the diet books and magazine articles that offer you false hope of losing weight quickly, easily, and permanently. Get angry at the lies that have led you to feel as if you were a failure every time a new diet stopped working and you gained back all of the weight. If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better diet might be lurking around the corner, it will prevent you from being free to rediscover Intuitive Eating.
2. Honor Your Hunger. Keep your body biologically fed with adequate energy and carbohydrates. Otherwise you can trigger a primal drive to overeat. Once you reach the moment of excessive hunger, all intentions of moderate, conscious eating are fleeting and irrelevant. Learning to honor this first biological signal sets the stage for re-building trust with yourself and food.
3. Make Peace with Food. Call a truce, stop the food fight! Give yourself unconditional permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing When you finally “give-in” to your forbidden food, eating will be experienced with such intensity, it usually results in Last Supper overeating, and overwhelming guilt.
4. Challenge the Food Police. Scream a loud “NO” to thoughts in your head that declare you’re “good” for eating under 1000 calories or “bad” because you ate a piece of chocolate cake. The Food Police monitor the unreasonable rules that dieting has created . The police station is housed deep in your psyche, and its loud speaker shouts negative barbs, hopeless phrases, and guilt-provoking indictments. Chasing the Food Police away is a critical step in returning to Intuitive Eating.
5. Respect Your Fullness. Listen for the body signals that tell you that you are no longer hungry. Observe the signs that show that you’re comfortably full. Pause in the middle of a meal or food and ask yourself how the food tastes, and what is your current fullness level?
6. Discover the Satisfaction Factor. The Japanese have the wisdom to promote pleasure as one of their goals of healthy living In our fury to be thin and healthy, we often overlook one of the most basic gifts of existence–the pleasure and satisfaction that can be found in the eating experience. When you eat what you really want, in an environment that is inviting and conducive, the pleasure you derive will be a powerful force in helping you feel satisfied and content. By providing this experience for yourself, you will find that it takes much less food to decide you’ve had “enough”.
7. Honor Your Feelings Without Using Food. Find ways to comfort , nurture, distract, and resolve your issues without using food. Anxiety, loneliness, boredom, anger are emotions we all experience throughout life. Each has its own trigger, and each has its own appeasement. Food won’t fix any of these feelings. It may comfort for the short term, distract from the pain, or even numb you into a food hangover. But food won’t solve the problem. If anything, eating for an emotional hunger will only make you feel worse in the long run. You’ll ultimately have to deal with the source of the emotion, as well as the discomfort of overeating.
8. Respect Your Body. Accept your genetic blueprint. Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to realistically squeeze into a size six, it is equally as futile (and uncomfortable) to have the same expectation with body size. But mostly, respect your body, so you can feel better about who you are. It’s hard to reject the diet mentality if you are unrealistic and overly critical about your body shape.
9. Exercise–Feel the Difference. Forget militant exercise. Just get active and feel the difference. Shift your focus to how it feels to move your body, rather than the calorie burning effect of exercise. If you focus on how you feel from working out, such as energized, it can make the difference between rolling out of bed for a brisk morning walk or hitting the snooze alarm. If when you wake up, your only goal is to lose weight, it’s usually not a motivating factor in that moment of time.
10. Honor Your Health–Gentle Nutrition. Make food choices that honor your health and tastebuds while making you feel well. Remember that you don’t have to eat a perfect diet to be healthy. You will not suddenly get a nutrient deficiency or gain weight from one snack, one meal, or one day of eating. It’s what you eat consistently over time that matters, progress not perfection is what counts.
Hej kære læsere!
Jeg vil lige fortælle lidt om mig selv, da jeg lige har startet bloggen op.
Jeg er en 18-årig pige bosat i Aarhus, som elsker at udfolde mig skriftligt og kreativt, som sikkert vil kunne ses på bloggen. Jeg er aktiv i min fritid og elsker at smutte forbi fitnesscenteret ofte. Derudover holder jeg meget af at tilbringe tid med min familie samt venner og skønne kæreste gennem mere end et år. Jeg nyder at finde inspiration på diverse blogs, instagram o.l. og bruger en stor del af min vågne tid på at være kreativ – at tegne, blogge, lægge make-up, skrive og alt, der minder om.
Navnet Prettypowerful:
Prettypowerful betyder for mig det at være stærk som individ overfor nutidens mange krav om perfektion. Jeg brænder for at udtrykke et budskab om, at det er ok at være som man er! Do whatever makes you happy! Jeg kommer til at blogge om tøj, træning, kost og alt andet som fylder i mit liv, men altid vinklet med det synspunkt at alle disse ting skal gøres for en selv og for at gøre en glad.
Håber I nyder denne lørdag aften! Min aften har været i selskab med melodigrandprix i hvert fald!
