There is no need to have a weight loss diet. It is your body, your taste buds, your preference, your life; so you decide what you want to eat, what to put into your mouth, and that is your pleasure and your responsibility too. Diet, by definition, tells you what to eat. Why should other people tell you what to eat or what amount you can eat? What does other people know what your body needs or what your body desire? You are the one that have control about what your food will be and how much you are going to have.
Knowing what food you need:
Won't everyone's life be easier if everyone knows what he or she wants or needs? No matter it is the relationship, the job choice, where to live, where to go for the vacation, which school to attend or which age to retire? If everyone knows what they really need to do, everyone's life would be happier and simpler.
On the table in front of you. You see french fries, chocolate cake, chicken salad, hamburgers, oranges, and steak. What you are going to do with those food? Do you need to eat them all? No, not really. You will know if you ate all of those, you are going to get stomach upset if you ate them all and also gain some unneeded calories too. So, you know what you need and also what you want when you are seeing the food. So, the deciding fact to your successful or failing weight loss plan is can you be powerful enough on self discipline and not let your wanting for food over rule your need for food.
Food lust or food need:
When you went to movies, you snacked on some popcorn and sipped a cup of smoothie because everyone was getting some. We know about peer pressure on decision making, but if you succumb to it, you know it is not going to do anything good on maintaining a good and fit body. So, you know what your body doesn't need that. Therefore, if you have strong will power and you truly want to maintain a good weight, you know what you should do and what you should not do. You don't need to deny yourself if you truly need those snack, but you really don't need all of them. You can have a few bites, taste the taste, and share them with your companies. You can have what you really desire, but not all at once.
Food thrifty and food need:
When you cleaned the dinning table, you saw the leftover food of your kids' still on the plates. Should you eat them all because if you don't, the food will be wasted? When the situation occurs, you need to listen to what your body needs and your internal cues; you don't make your decision on eating food based on thrifty causes. If you are full, then you are done with eating. No matter how many leftover you see on the table; eating them will not do your body good if you are already full.
Food as investment to your body:
When you go to the gas station, you won't put diesel into your car, and you might have certain consideration about what fuel you would like your car to have. You would not put random ingredient into your fuel tank, because you know what you need to invest into your car for its long term benefit and it safety concern. Same things apply when you consider food as the investment to your body and it long term health. What will be good for your body in the long run? Not meals to McDonald's every night, not steak and cookies every day, not French fries or any deep fried food for every eating occasion. It must be something good and something healthy like:
1. Fruit and vegetables are 100 percent natural, fiber rich and super nutrients loaded.
2. Whole food with lesser processed the better: Use whole wheat flour instead of white bleached flour, use brown rice instead of refined rice rice, make your own cereal instead of premade box cereal, make your own jam instead of the jars on the counter.
3. The lesser ingredients, the better the purer: When you go on the grocery shopping, look at the ingredient fact to see what in the package that you will be buying. If it contains a lot of names that you don't even know, then you better not buying it; the chance is those are either chemicals or artificial flavor or preservatives.
4. Used good oil instead of bad oil: Use unsaturated oil whenever you can, and have good omega-3 fish oil or flaxseed oil for your heart health. The repeated used deep fried oil is cancer inducing element which is very bad for any body let alone it only contains fat.
5. The sweet devil: I love chocolate, I bet you do. Should I eat them? Of course I should and you should too. Just remember don't eat a lot at once time. Taste them, don't just eat them. If you can't stop thinking about it, you probably want it, so you can have a small portion of it.
Final words: Don't jump and eat food at your first impulse. Spend some time seriously asking yourself, "Do I really need this?" The answer maybe a yes, or maybe a no. Just remember think food as the investment, whenever you see an available food, make a decision, consciously and with forethought, and you will be on the right track on the train of healthy eating without any diet and without much regret or guilty.
