By Nmami Agarwal 29-Feb 2020 Reading Time: 5 Mins
In today’s world, people have a mindset that whatever they eat will lead them to gain weight. This thought process of the people needs to change as the food is never good or bad, it’s the mindset that needs to change. If a person who is into having greens and a lot of fruits and he/she decides to have a bit of junk food, that doesn’t mean it will cause harm, depending upon what quantity is being eaten.
The mind plays an inevitable role in working of our body as we do what we think of and what we think is what happens with us. Our psychological mind tend to fall for negativity more and it needs a strong mind to stay positive especially when having food, if we eat our food, thinking it’s good for us, it will turn out good but if the same food is eaten thinking that it is bad, you will most probably get sick after having it or may develop some problem. Having food that makes you happy is very important because that is what keeps you going. Let’s give you some of the ideas to change how you think about your food which are as follows:
Proportionate your meal: If you crave for food you like, you should have it but instead of going for large portion, go for some part of it. Say, if you love having cake, go for a small slice of it rather than the whole of it. Limit the days when you can have junk. Instead of choosing to have it every other day, fix one or two particular days to satisfy your cravings.
Eat with a positive mindset: The most important part of having food that will be beneficial is the one that is eaten with good thoughts. The way we think matters the most while we do anything. Good thoughts and good thinking leads us to have our food happily and it turns out to be healthy for us.
Segregate your choices: If you are a lover of food, it’s no harm but you need to list down if the food is giving you the proper energy you want. You don’t have to opt-out of having the food you like; you just have to segregate your food. Say you love having burgers, fries, brownie, and now if we talk about how healthy it is, it surely isn’t but if it makes you happy, have it but in a limited portion.
Go easy on yourself: Everything takes time and if you are trying to change your eating patterns, it will happen with time. If you want to eat the food you like, eat it, don’t force yourself into having greens just for the sake of having it. Food that you have forcefully doesn’t make any difference in your body, even after you have had a plate full of salad that you don’t like, you’ll be hungry after having it. Eat the food you love and if you are tensed about it, choose a healthy way like exercising or walking.
Over to you
A food lover and still cutting on eating them? You are doing wrong to yourself as food is never good or bad, it’s the way you think of it and food surely carries vibes. Do what makes you happier and eat your food with a happy mood.
