Good Lifestyle

By Melissa Milne

For many years, I transformed the simple act of eating in a twisted dance of denial, temptation and remorse, trying to exercise and eat healthy, then to fight for every tiny indulgent huison. I would eat only foods that sounded as if they were "safe" -Stum labeled "bold", "low-carb", "diet" or "lite". And by the end of the day, hungry for livelihood, I will break down and seize anything soft / salty / fat and practical and practical in view. It only made me feel guilty and terrible on myself.

Each M & M was like a small poisoned pill, each slice of bread was thick guilt and each bite was a certain flavor of failure. Judge Judy was not on the magistrate of Maillet-brandishing in my head, who sent me run for thedreadmillDay after day after day to pay for penance for my crimes against carbohydrates.

Many women suffer from serious food disorders that doctors can diagnose and treat. But there are many more from us who suffer from something else - something that pushes us to eat too much, too much diet too, transpire too much and painful too much. The name? Food guilt. I have had it for years.

You probably have it too.

In a recent survey, I led to my new bookThe naughty diet-A anti-diet book designed to improve your relationship with food by balancing the nutrition you need with the naughty foods you want - an amount of 80% of the 10,000 women surveyed admitted to feel guilty after a "meal" decadent restaurant ". We can all accept that it's not fun for anyone. The same number says that whenever they felt food guilt, post-dinner sex would be completely out of the menu. Double bummer.

The guilt of food is a dirty, little secret; Nobody talks about how Icky they really feel after a rich meal or a decadent dessert. Nobody wants to be crowned Miss Buzzkill from the table. As I spoke to thousands of women on their problems with food guilt, I discovered that strategies can improve our food feelings and change our attitude. Here's how you can jump from the carousel and make food to your friend - and guilt of your dog. And if you are sick and tired of feeling bad about yourself, join my ugly diet movement now onFacebook andTwitter!

Guess what? You're not what you eat. (Which is good, otherwise I would be swollen, pasty and flagrant as my croissants in the morning.) Eating the "good" food does not make you a good person. Al Capone enjoyed healthy spaghetti with a walnut sauce and a glass of wine ban most nights! Similarly, eating "bad" food does not hurt you or gangsta, no matter the standard DAT Nutrition Label. When you honor your food, shame your body. Shame on you!

Naughtydiet Translation: 75ish / 25ish. This is the rule that helped Maria Menounos drop 40 pounds and stay not only thin and smokin 'hot, but happy too. The idea is simple: just eat 75% of the time, all the directions you see. Maybe it's an indulgent meal a day and three small nutritive nibels. Or maybe he eats intelligently for four days in a row, then saying the screw on the day five, when you want cheese and fries. Anyway, a woman must have too much time at once time, too much pleasure, too much sex, too much spending, and yes, too much food - and feel well-nay, well about it .

It's a turn that taught me by Tasneem Bhatia, Mr.D., which mixes Eastern and Western medicine. The next time you grab with red and orange hand, with an empty bag of Cheetos - and you feel that bubbling guilt ... Enter a pencil and paper and write exactly what you feel. "I broke the rules. I feel horrible." Now tear this piece of paper to be shredded as if it were an old valentine ex. What worries you, you control you, then fight you tearing your misfortunes into pieces.

Quickly leave the food crime scene. Seriously, although it's on a soaked sun terrace overlooking Lake Como, and Clooney is there, whispering in your ear on how amal and he's going through a raw patch, and his breath is like a flower of Sugar tickling the neck of your neck ...! Only guilt to manage singulant on the debris, calculating the caloric damage of all demolished foods. New location = new start.

Once you are in a new area, do something new to distract you. Go for a walk outside to get out of guilt. Get a manicure and your hands will be clean (not guilty!) Hit a bookstore or library and get lost in some fiction fictional fictional, far from the kingdoms of the guilt of food. And if you want to sit in a cafe and write a love letter in George, do it. The most important thing is that you distract yourself and go to something new. Otherwise, the persistent food guilt free you just in denial / temptation / remorde dreadmill.
