#diet book

[moltengoldveins]

someone: you should check this diet book out! The guy who wrote it had a lot of your same health issues and he’s a lot better now! It can’t hurt! me: ok! book: “I dunno where my symptoms came from, but I DID get the MMR vaccine four years before I got sick, which has been proven to cause colon diseases and might even cause autis-“

me, slamming the book shut while the voice of HBomberguy rings in my mind: NO.

And the new diet book review will be on this find from 2006.

Yes, I finished it.

There are lots of good parts if you can get around the overall triteness & bad relationship stuff. That part comes off real bullshitty and rather like a blatant narc.

It is a diet novel. 🤔

It is full of some pretty sound nutritional advice, but some things we now question- low fat dairy & seed oils.

The basic principles are to eat often, with low fat, balanced meals, nothing is off limits, stop eating at the first sign of not being hungry anymore, and home cooking.

Balanced meals is: a low fat protein, starchy carb, vegetable option (or 2) and a salad starter. 3 fruits a day for snacks and desserts. Drink lots of water. So nothing groundbreaking there.

I think the best thing about it is getting off the diet Rollercoaster. If you aren't on a "diet," you can't go off a diet. Which is good, imo.

It does talk about how our bodies are designed to want to continue eating even when we aren't hungry anymore. It sees food and it wants to eat food, just because it is in front of you. Evolutionary biology.

My studies in behavioral neuroscience agreed with these statements. The body sends out signals to eat whenever food is present.

What, you thought it was chance that there is a specialty bakery or crumbl cookie by every damn boutique fitness joint? You thought that the pizza joint by the hot exercise studio was chance? Unlikely. Sometimes they are even owned by the same people.

I'm just a volunteer, I don't have the power of a librarian to recommend books!

[abstractandedgyname]

some of those seem like things that if a book didn't have them it wouldn't be a fully functional book...

No blerb, no chapter titles, no table of contents; that's a pseudo-book, and quasi-book. Booklite.

Things to bring back in books:

Chapter titles

Actually having a synopsis on the back instead of reviews no one will read

"There is a container of chocolate candy in my living room and there are multiple pints of ice cream in my freezer. This probably sounds like a recipe for disaster or even like a lack of willpower, but keeping something in plain sight, viewing it as a neutral food, and giving yourself permission to have said food unconditionally is the actual food freedom recipe. Not to mention, of course, that eating all the food groups consistently helps with feeling the need to binge on sweets. There are many pieces to the puzzle of food neutrality, and acknowledging that I am wholeheartedly allowing myself to have these foods when I want is helpful."

Book Review: The Binge code

So I am mid read on this book, and I thought I would like to share a little because I am sick. I need a pleasant distraction from work today. But, I'm on my lunch break and so fear not, I am logged out.

The Binge Code by Allison C Kerr. " 7 unconventional keys to end and binge eating and lose excess weight."

Part 2 is where you break free from the binge traps so I am going to start there, although she didn't.

What are the binge traps? Although the book does go into detail, I will list them off here very quickly for you.

The diet trap

the yo yo blood sugar trap.

The nutritional deficiency trap

The habit trap

The food rules trap

The false friend trap

The inner critic trap.

So I am through about half of those and I would have to say that this book is worth a read, especially if you feel like this is an issue for you, or especially if you have been dieting for a while.

The one thing that has been most glaringly obvious to me is I've been on this weight loss journey for a couple of years now is the first 3:

The diet trap is that "diets" are short-term, restrictive things that we embark on when we feel like we need to lose weight. We ignore hunger pangs because we are trying to change our eating style, and that blunts our normal hunger cues.

The yoyo thing is where your blood sugar is all over the place.

The nutritional deficiency trap is where you aren't getting the proper nutrients, which makes your body keep asking for food, even if you have already eaten because it doesn't have the right combonation of stuff.

I can understand how these are traps. Yet, I also consider myself to be "dieting," so how do I do I make this congruent to myself?

I have read a lot at this point, and I am working on a full view perspective.

I know from my behavioral science class that your body is also going to ask for food whenever it sees food. Literally, it is how we are made because never ever has food and food like products been so abundant.

You have to know that is happening in your body to make a reasonable decision for where YOU are in your day, journey, etc. Ask yourself: When was the last time you ate? What was it? A junky snack or a real substantial meal? Do you need a meal? What is being offered?

This is a very nuanced topic, which is why a lot of people deal with it and why so many people are overweight.

Alright.

Why do we have such an obesity epidemic?

People are positing as scientific fact that dieting causes people to overeat. It does certainly cause certain psychological things that happen. Most diets use some kind of tool to cause a calorie deficit. One way or another a diets whole goal is to cause a deficit so that you lose weight.

If the diet is super restrictive in some way, it can cause us to have hangups or to hyperfocus on what we are missing. Basically, it is reverse psychology.

The real key is to develop a lifestyle that is balanced enough that we can avoid those traps.

Part of the key might be to just utilize your common sense. If you are getting serious binge urges, you may need to ask yourself if it is valid. Is your body just really asking for food/fuel?

If so, plan and prepare a well-balanced, reasonably protioned meal with proteins, carbs, veggies, and fats. Eat it and wait an hour. How do you feel now?

If you feel like you are hitting the blood sugar trap, up your protein and cut the junk in half, and add a veggie to everything.

Although I consider myself to be "dieting," I am working towards building a lifestyle that will be sustainable over time. I don't want to rebound and pack on the pounds after giving away all my fat clothes.

Ultimately, your lifestyle will be who you become. Which I think is why I am trying to focus on habits over time that are easy to remember and habituate. Mile Monday, 5k Friday, Sunday Bike club. Races & activities.

I am always focusing on overcoming my particular hurdles so that my lifestyle will be in balance. Activity and rest. Sports and Academic. Food and fasting, in balance.

If I had a nickel for every piece of media I consumed that featured a character that came back from the dead and a disabled nazi, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm talking about Santa Clarita Diet and Batman: Under The Red Hood btw.
