Our bodies try to tell us about unhealthy food
Change your negative association with healthy food
L Diet ~ Rule 4 (extended)
...more about Rule 4 next »
If meat was in abundance as a child and our parents forced us to eat a lot of it and there was the same meat for school dinners every single day - we would see this in the same negative light as we see vegetables. Conversely, if we were never forced to eat vegetables and they were seen as an expensive delicacy and we had only ever tasted them when cooked to perfection and marinated in a sauce to die for by a top chef, then we would look at vegetables in whole new way.
The point of this rule is to change your negative association with healthy food into a positive one and not see it as a chore or a bad thing, but as a good thing, even a treat. If you've been lucky enough to taste vegetables cooked beautifully - hold on to this association and think about this memory every time you are presented with healthy food.
If you haven't any good experiences of healthy food then it's time you got some new memories. Make a point of going out of your way and out of your comfort zone by trying new things. Try something new at a decent restaurant, ask to try things from your partners, friends plates. Whatever the extra cost - see this as essential research - if it leads to a long term improved diet then it could add years to your life!
If you have really bad cravings for a particular unhealthy food and would like to kick the habit; try this:
(Read this first, then close your eyes and imagine it all in more detail) Think of your unhealthy vice food covered in a vat of fat, think about your heart being blocked and struggling to cope from tightening arteries, think about red meat as cold dog food or raw bloody carcasses add some flies in there too for good measure. Think about a food you really like and crave - now think about the worst memory of this food. E.g. if it's chips - think about the worst portion of chips you've ever ate in your life. Imagine it being cooked by a fat ugly old man coughing on your chips, imagine he's dropped some on the floor and picks em up and puts them back on your plate. Imagine he's not washed his hands all day etc etc. Think about this negative association of your vice every time you get the desire to eat it.
What you have just done (above) is self hypnotherapy. You don't need Paul McKenna, as good as he his, he would only make the same suggestions for you to imagine. All hypnotherapy is actually self hypnotherapy. All a hypnotist does is make the suggestions, you're the one who carries out the thoughts and uses your imagination to realise the potential of hypnotherapy. Imagine that - the future in YOUR hands.
