How to get better during quarantine? Read especially carefully if you do not have such a goal!
1. To be afraid in advance that while sitting in quarantine you will definitely gain weight due to the constant proximity of the refrigerator. Just from thoughts. Why not?
We need to lament the large amount of stock for the week ahead. Stocks that beckon and are criminally available.
2. Create a list of prohibited foods. And harder with yourself. You can't all the sweetest, fatty, salty. No chips, chocolates, ice cream. Everyone has their own, their own exclusive list of exceptions.
Indeed, willpower is something that always works flawlessly:) No, it is not depleted according to research. No, under the influence of stress, she does not leave you at all.
Don't believe research that says your brain is focusing on forbidden foods, so it’s focused on survival. So that the owner does not harm, does not ruin with hunger, all attention is focused on prohibited foods. Oh, yes, don't believe it, this has never happened to you.
3. Then you need to read a little more news in order to worry, get angry, think what injustice is, paint terrible pictures, and then seize the alarm. With what? Hmmmm … Everything that you referred to point number 2 will come in handy here.
Forward! Studies have shown that sedation with food lasts up to 3 minutes.
Bravo, it looks like the plan is right!
4. But what can really last long? Yes, this is viscous like caramel and crisp like a chip of guilt for violating the ban. You need to immerse yourself in guilt and self-flagellation. I couldn’t, I couldn’t cope, weakling. After all, what did it cost you? Just build a series of unrealistic demands and not be able to hold out?
5. But do not despair and start everything in a new way. Here you need to start from point # 1. Buy a little more products and then you know how.
Sound familiar?
Feel like something in my instructions is working very well?
And if suddenly your goal is not to take up more space in the space, then it is clearly not worth following these recommendations.
Below I have collected the studies that I mentioned in the article (you can easily find them by the name of the author and the date):
1. About the depletion of willpower
Hagger, Wood 2010
2. The fact that under the influence of stress, those who are on a diet eat more than those who eat freely
Herman, Polivy, 1975
3. That the brain is focusing on forbidden food
Mann, Ward, 2001
4. That the effect of calming with food lasts up to 3 minutes
Macht, Mueller, 2007
