Eating sure has gotten complicated. Too complicated. People are made to eat. Eating is not optional. If you’re eating isn’t going well, it’s producing ill-health, overweight, underweight, and distress, a remedy is in order. The problem is most likely the connection between your eating and your emotional self, as well as patterns is how, what, why, when, where you eat. The Eating Guru can help with all of this.
Turns out, eating is about the most basic instinct we humans have. Because eating is so closely tied to survival from days of old, all of us are hard-wired to have the natural ability to control eating and body weight. If you eat to satisfy hunger pangs made to turn on every few hours, and you satisfy them by satisfying your natural appetites for taste, flavor, palatability in your food, and you eat to fullness, not overfull or undersatisfied, you are living by your natural controls. Ignoring or denying hunger is a surefire way to be overwhelmed by fat, sugar, and salt, the most basic flavors we crave when appetites go unsatisfied.
Americans have gotten tuned into thinking about the nutrients we are eating.There is so much more to eating than that. We control our eating and our weight by eating widely from all kinds of different foods that offer all kinds of different flavors, textures, and complexities. The difference between a dinner of broiled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and a plain baked potato and those same basic foods made in interesting ways with more flavors and ingredients is a huge difference. The plain version, eaten in an attempt to diet or eat healthy, fails to satisfy appetite and produce the satisfaction inside that comes from a more interested, varied meal. The plain meal will likely be followed by overdoing on fat, sugar, and salt later in the day or week. The more interesting meal “inoculates” you against overdoing on fat, sugar, and salt. Some of these are terribly simple fixes to longstanding eating problems. The Eating Guru can help with this.
Lots of things prompt us to eat in the ways we’re constantly trying to fix. Eating scripts rule our eating. That is we eat more by volume than by calories, we get prompted to eat more by how big the plate or glass is, by who we’re with and what and how much they eat, by the lighting and music and atmosphere we’re in. Eating Guru help looks beyond calories, nutrients, and dieting to help with eating troubles.
The emotional makeup of a person is connected to their eating, with some people to a great degree. Lack of success with changing eating for weight control or improved health is often times most effectively addressed by getting unstuck where you’re stuck. Seeing it comes first, doing something about it follows. Eating Guru help is geared to assist a person in taking a wide look at their eating troubles in the context of their life, their relationships, their family.
