In this video I will explain to you will listening to your body is bad advice and the truth behind intuitive eating.
Imagine a soldier coming home from war.
During his time in Afghanistan he was an awesome fighter.
He received multiple promotions for his acts of bravery.
All his friends in war looked up to him.
But now, being in his home country again, he feels lost.
All his skills and traits that guaranteed his survival in Afghanistan, are worth nothing anymore.
And this is exactly, what happened to our body in the face of evolution.
During most of our existence we had to work for our food.
For example we had to gather leaves in the wild, often walking miles to get to it.
In that time where resources were scarce, our brains had to develop the tendency to go the way of least resistance.
Stop listening to your body.
Trick this tendency, by eating breakfast after your work out.
This will link the act of exercising with something rewarding, making you look forward to it.
We live in the time and age where we have more than enough.
You don't have to physically work for your food, you get everything that you need and more in the supermarket around the corner.
There's little to no force required to get the food that you like the most.
And the food that you like the most is usually the food that you shouldn't eat.
Why? Because if your ancestor found food that was high in fat and sugar, his brain would go nuts.
It's enough to let him survive for a couple of weeks. Time to party.
These foods may be great for survival in scarce times, but will lead to obesity in the modern world.
Stop listening to your body.
Realize that your body will be naturally inclined to crave such foods.
But only eat them sparingly and with full consciousness to enjoy them the most.
Your body tests the food that you will eat with multiple tactics.
He smells it. He touches it. He looks at it and only then it tastes it.
Consider a banana, if it smells weird, if it has a kinda odd texture if it is black at some point you don't eat it.
These are all defense tactics from your body against possible diseases.
The bad thing is just: The nutrition industry knows about that.
Stop listening to your body.
Realize that the nutrition industry is worth billions of dollars.
Just because something tastes good, does not necessarily mean that you should eat it.
Instead focus on natural, unprocessed plant-based nutrition for optimuum health.
Thank you for your time and thank you for your trust. I hope you have a great day. :-)
