The only time I bother to resist is if I've promised not to do something (Like, "I won't eat chocolate for 30 days") or if I think there's some other reason it really matters. I've found that even if I get really depressed and eat chocolate ice cream straight from the container, I still only eat about 500 calories' worth. Granted, that's 500 calories worth of fat and sugar, but I'm still usually able to stay within my limits for the day, AND I don't have the craving to fight the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that.... I save my willpower for more important things. |

I recently read an opinion of a person, that's a vegetarian (vegan - can't remember), where he states that human body needs much less food than we consume. He linked an article that says people who "under-eat" (if I can say that) live longer and stay in much healthy condition! So he said something like: "I have a measure for hunger. Whenever I think I want to eat (anything) I imagine an onion. If I'm hungry enough and ready to eat the raw onion, then I'm definitely hungry. Just then I eat!" This helps him keep his food intake really low (a salad and some nuts daily). But he's a really healthy person! |
