Curb Your Appetite Through Understanding Your Appetite

By Mr. Keith of www.IChooseThin.com

You have a nightly ritual of wandering into the kitchen and opening and closing cabinets looking for a snack even though you just finished eating a large meal. You know you do not have to eat but your mind is telling you to go and find that snack. You have your old favorites which range from peanut butter and bread to plain old chocolate cake. The actual snack is irrelevant because you are on a quest to satisfy the overpowering desire to just eat. As you settle back into your living room throne with your food bounty you wonder why you do this to yourself. Your mind tells you this is a bad habit and yet you just keep on doing it and cannot understand why. You can relax because you are normal in the fact that you want to eat these snacks and gorge yourself because you are just succumbing to your evolutionary history. You have just not yet learned that you are a normal person who needs to break free from their evolutionary history and learn to curb their appetite.

If you were to have lived a mere 80,000 years ago your life would have been much different. You would not be able to visit the golden arches because if you wanted to eat you would have to go on a hunt. You would have to go days on end expending calories traveling around in search for your next meal. Your body was, and still is built for combating the fact that starvation can begin as early as tomorrow. Our instincts are humming and they are telling us that we need to eat well beyond the point of being satisfied. Our instincts are telling us to stuff ourselves because the next meal may be days away. This may even be why we crave calorie heavy foods such as fats and sugars. These are the foods that were scarce and prized in obtaining during those days so long ago. We rarely crave salads because even during those early human years plants were abundant and provided minimal caloric intake.

In short, the world we live in today can be compared to living in an amusement park. Food is all around us and we want to eat all that we see. This is why once you get a handle on your eating habits and portion control there is a rapid drop in your weight for a few days. This fast weight loss is less about dieting and more about the stage of evolution in which you now exist. Once you notice the fact that you are getting overweight you will also know that you really like to eat food. So, the next time you binge eat on snacks don't blame yourself, blame it on evolution.
