To avoid disease, change eating habits TO avoid disease, change your eating style. How you eat — your particular eating style — can play a key role in determining how much you eat, as well. Once you’ve identified your basic eating style, you’ve taken the first step towards changing it. Here are some possibles ways: * Gulpers and absent minded eaters should pay attention to what they’re eating to fully enjoy the food. If you are a gulper, you swallow lots of air, which can lead to indigestion. And, like the absent-minded eater, you’re apt to lose track of what you’ve eaten. * Impulsive eaters should be a bit more disciplined about eating a balanced diet, Try counting till five when the urge to eat strikes and then ask yourself if you really want those extra calories. You eat whenever the mood strikes. When you pass a chat pakori, pav bhaji or fast food joint, you feel compelled to stop and snack. If you are vigilant and compensate for extra calories by eating less, you may not gain weight, but you may suffer nutritionally. * Dieters need to be less rigid and give themselves permission to indulge once in a while in order to avoid the urge to binge. You should also try to get in touch with your natural hunger signals — eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. You are great at counting calories and keeping portions to a minimum. But you can be “good” only so long; after a while you feel so restricted you eat in an out of control way. * Furious, fast and competitive eaters should force themselves to slow down. A standard strategy that also helps weight loss is putting down you cutlery between bites. When sharing meals with others, you’ve learned to grab as much as possible when the plate is passed around. Frightened of not getting enough, you go overboard. * Plate cleaners should try to use portion control whenever possible: make enough food for only one helping and buy items in single-serving sizes. Plate cleaners should also get in habit of leaving some food on the plate. Your will-power will be tested in restaurants and at buffet functions. Your mother told you “waste not, want not,” so you clean your plate without considering whether you are still hungry. Unless you are consistently served micro portions, you can not help gaining weight. * A very noisy environment can stimulate your appetite by speeding up your metabolism and generating anxiety. Use the lowest-fat product possible. Stick with the fat consumption called for on this plan; do not add extra butter, and salad dressing. The most important and influential factor, though, is within you: your willingness to recognise and adjust you eating style.
