Just wondered how many of you actually plan to have mid morning, mid afternoon and an evening snack, and eat food just because its "free" and you can, without asking yourself if your hungry, and if so what makes you do it? I did up until a couple of weeks ago when I started to just listen to my "hungry stomach" and ignore the "I just want it" one. Having realised that if I eat 3 meals a day, and enough to satisfy me, I can't possibly be "hungry" between meals, I cut them out and I have had weight loss results into the bargain, which had pretty much ground to a halt before. I wondered if it becomes more of a habit, the snacking thing, than actual necessity and how you deal with it. If we only had meat, fish, fruit, veg and dairy to live on, we would survive wouldn't we, so why do we want/need these unhealthy additive filled yummy treats/snacks. Is it just because we can or do our bodies crave more of the same like a drug. Funny how when you have eaten porridge, a chicken salad, egg on toast etc, you don't crave another one do you, yet a chocolate biscuit, and oh dear, only stop when they have all gone, and could still eat more.
Why do diets work into their plans treats? Are they helping to fuel our passions which have helped to make us over weight in the first place. Why cann't we seem to live without the pleasure of sweet foods, we did before they were invented lol. I'm thinking too much now, so suggestions on a postcard please and if you know the answer, bottle it and make your millions lol.
