Binge Eating
All of this time we have talked about what to eat and what not to eat.
Though, that is only part of the solution to a good diet. There is something
that we also need to talk about. What we haven't talked about is eating habits.
When you should and shouldn't eat. That is as important as what you eat. Why is
it important? It is important because you don't want to binge eat. You don't
want to eat a whole bunch of food at one time. This isn't good for you. Does
this sound like you? You skip breakfast because you are running late for work.
You have a bunch of work that has been piling up, so you skip lunch. Instead
you have a cup of coffee and some snack crackers. You go home and you eat
enough for three meals. You are so hungry you could eat a live pig. You eat so
much that you don't think you will be able to walk for a week. You go watch
some television and you fall asleep while watching it.
Is this the same as eating three good meals each day? Eating one meal that
is the same amount of food as three? No it isn't. It isn't because of the way
that the body digests the food. All day long you have starved your body of what
it needs, it can't handle everything at once. All you are doing is over loading
your body. The real risk of bingeing is this. You will end up eating things
that you shouldn't be eating. You will end up eating a ton of fast food or
other food that is high and fat and easy to obtain. Why is this?
This is because you are so hungry, you have to eat something now. This tends
to be whatever you can get your hands on. Generally, it will be something that isn't
good for you. This is why it is important that you eat all three of your meals.
You can snack in between those meals too. You want to make sure though that
your snacks are healthy ones. Did you know that most doctors say that snacking
is good for you? It gives you some energy when you are feeling like you are
running on empty.
The key thing to remember is to eat healthy snacks. Eat things that make
your feel good, not things that are loaded with fat. Things that are loaded
with fat will only make you feel drained and make you want to snack more. If
you are having problems eating three meals a day, you really need to work on
your diet.
This is because you don't want to binge eat. Binge eating will only hurt you
in the long run. Don't believe me? Look at it like this. You know what will
happen if you don't eat all day long. You will get hungry and you will get the
shakes.
If you start to get the shakes you will go for whatever that you can to make
it stop. Here is what I do to help me eat three meals a day. I start off by
making my lunch before I go to bed. I do this because I won't do it when I wake
up in the morning. I try my best just to get my clothes on and get out the door
in good time so I am not late for work. I also pack some snacks for me to eat
at work. I might put some veggie sticks and some fruit in little plastic bags.
I love to eat these as snacks while I am at work.
When it comes to breakfast, I try to think in advance what I want to eat. I
will have all of the things that I need on hand incase I decide that I want
something different. Will I want an omlet? I always have some cut veggies in
the ice box incase I do. That way all I have to do is throw them in the pan and
cook away.
It takes the same amount of time to cook that as it would to cook anything
else. I do the same with dinner. I will try to prepare whatever I can the day
before. This way if I am too tired, all I have to do is put the stuff together.
I might also make dinner while I am making my lunch.
What do you mean make my dinner before I go to bed? Well, don't have a cow.
What I will do is prepare all of the things that I need in advance. I do this
when I am using the crock pot. I just put the stuff in the crock pot in the
morning before I go to work. I set it and then I head off to work. When I get
home, I have a hot meal waiting for me. I can time it so that almost right
after I walk in the door I have something hot to eat. Try it, you will be
amazed.
Eating three meals a day isn't that hard. If you put your mind into it, you
can do it fairly easily. All you have to do is be prepared. If you feel that
you can't do it, buy one of those event planners. Make a schedule for
everything that you want to do.
