How Does One Define Fattening Foods?
The distinction between fattening foods and non-fattening foods is confusing especially when you want to lose weight. There is a way round this confusion. Visit Hypnotherapist Stephen Rigby in his Guildford or Woking, Surrey practice if you want to address a weight problem..
What Makes Non-Fattening and Fattening Foods?
Maybe the answer is in the number of Calories that are contained within the food. Maybe low Calories means non-fattening! Maybe it is something to do with fat content. Maybe low fat means non-fattening. We are told by the advertisers that there is some merit in eating food that is low in fat (e.g. “Contains less than 2% fat”) but this in itself can be confusing because many foods achieve the low fat status at the expense of increased sugar content and therefore increased Calories. If food is low in fat but high in Calories, do they them become fattening foods?
We Must Have a Healthy Diet to Lose Weight
There is a lot of publicity concerning the need to have a “healthy diet”. Maybe it is “unhealthy” foods that are fattening foods? Maybe that is the answer? Unfortunately, we have the same problem with defining “unhealthy” food.
Everyone Knows What Food is Healthy!
There are those that will say it is easy to define “healthy” food. “Healthy” food consists of fresh vegetables, mushrooms and protein in the form of chicken, fish or tofu. These are all foods that are low in fat and Calories. If we took ingredients like this, added a few herbs, boiled them up in a stock to make a soup or stew and served it with plain boiled rice we would have a “healthy” meal that would be “non-fattening”. Surely, if you ate non-fattening food like this everyday you would be bound to lose weight – right! There are lots of companies marketing so called “lite” meals. Maybe we could give it a name and market it for weight loss.
Eat Like a Sumo Wrestler – Get Fat Like a Sumo Wrestler
Unfortunately, this diet already has a name. This is the main component of the diet of the Japanese Sumo and is called chanko-nabe!
It is Not What You Eat but How Much You Eat That Makes You Fat
It is not possible to avoid fattening foods because all food is fattening if you overeat it. If you use hypnotherapy to control your weight, there will be no restriction on what you eat as the method requires that you get back in touch with your natural weight control mechanism. It is not a diet because you may already have experienced that dieting makes you fat.
Have Your Cake and Eat It!
A varied and balanced diet only becomes fattening when you eat too much of it. If you are in contact with your natural weight control mechanism eating "fattening foods" like cake will have a natural consequence of causing less of something else to be eaten. The issue is not understanding what are fattening foods but understanding when your body has eaten sufficient. This is discussed further in Chocolate Doesn’t Make You Fat!
