One of the most typical cases I've seen during energy restrictions to reduce body fat is the anxiety that the person suffers as a result of the restriction, are there techniques to mitigate or reduce these effects for optimal eating plan? (in healthy people)
the intake of high fiber food and low energy is useful. Specially vegetables.
Corinne,
True in principle but easier said than done!
Majority of the obese people, at least in US, aren't exactly unaware of what causes obesity and how they can reduce their weight gradually and safely (eating a balanced varied diet and combining with routine exercise). I am sure you are well aware of the pattern as to which way obesity is heading.
Availably of mostly bad food in poor areas combined with habit forming junk food served in schools to children (with >50% children on reduced or free lunch program) is another aspect of this epidemic.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and eating healthy meat harvested only from free roaming cows in green pastures seems to be a suitable solution for a niche market segment. Of course, I may be entirely wrong. ;)
Hello,
Caloric restriction increase the fact to think to eat. If patients received the order to don't eat it will create some trouble about their caloric system regulation : hunger and satiety. It could create a cognitive dissonance which could increase anxiety about the risk of fail to reduce calories intake per example.
To reduce it, you have to ask people to eat only when they are hungry, stop eating when they are satiated. To do that, you have to help them to recognize hunger and satiety and they have to chew a lot during the meal. Indeed the contact between food and tongue increase the satiety.
Then i think they need a regular monitoring support with a doctor, dietitian and/or psychologist clinician.
I hope my answer will help you.
Thank you all, I will take to implement the recommendations and will continue to expect more choices to evaluate the effectiveness of all. Another positive point in satiety i've tried is the satiety effect with protein. It is a point that has been useful to me in several cases, but others definitely need additional techniques and their opinions are a great contribution, thanks again.
