typical 2000 calorie diet

If you ask dietitians and other diet professionals, all they could tell you about loosing weight is the outer dos and don’ts of diet. You could hear them exclaim more and more about cultivating disciplined and planned food habits. But what you would not definitely hear from them is about how your inner psyche responds to your efforts of losing weight.

Yes! All we humans have certain routine habits cultivated right from the time we could think of our own existence on this earth. How many of us have an inner craving for chocolates, chips, ice-creams, cakes and the likes that you cannot hide from your conscience?

I guess almost all of us will not be able to deny this inner craving for a high calorie food. We are not surely made that way. We have however sometime down the line of our life, cultivated it. Call it indiscipline, call it indifference towards health or by any other phrase, it is all in our minds! It is surely us, who have made it a habit to crave for delicious high-calorie food. The truth is that we have all cultivated certain food habits over the years that are hard to forget. The good old saying goes, “Old habits die hard”. Not able to shun the good old “crazy food habit” is undeniably ingrained in us.

A normal average human weight loss psyche goes this way; you prepare to stick on to a particular, prescribed weight-loss program. You start with the utmost sincerity the first day. You visualize yourself in your teenage jeans. Your goal is only to regain back your slim figure you once nurtured as a young man or a woman. You have probably brought everything you needed for your weight loss program in your place.

Your alarm clock rings promptly early in the morning at the time preset by you. Already anxious the whole night, you are ready and enthusiastic to fulfill your dream. You either start your prescribed exercises or you are probably more enthusiastic about the brand new gym equipment you’ve brought home just for your weight loss regime. Nevertheless, you are in high spirits as you exercise. After the prescribed breakfast comprising either fresh fruits or vegetables, juices or any low calorie food, you are ready for work, promising yourself not to even look at the chocolate, ice-cream or pizza parlors on your way.

You may either plan to skip your lunch or just have a few morsels of a prescribed lunch. A hard day’s work through, you plan to head back home, again have a pre-designed low-calorie dinner, then bury yourself comfortably in your bed. This may continue for a few days. There are stories galore of average people able to continue this just for a few days; how many times after a just a few days of your strict diet regime have you craved to taste your favorite chocolate ice-cream, or the other delicacies served by favorite food-joint in your neighborhood? “Very Often”, is what statistics say.

It has been proved scientifically that tuning your mind is the best way to shun any habit, good or bad. Striking the panic button and totally killing the craving for your “delicious” food is the key to stick on to a diet regime. No wonder old wisdom have stated, “It is all in the mind!”
