If you feel powerless to overcome overeating I want to encourage you! Believe it or not…admitting this problem is a huge step. From this point, it’s just a matter of devising a plan to deal with these feelings of helplessness and put yourself back in control.

Need a little more help? Here’s a plan for you!

1. Find a friend who can be a source of encouragement and support.  This will be a person that you can call when you are feeling tempted to binge or overeat.
2. Start practicing some form of meditation or yoga to help you deal with negativity and depression.  Set a goal of doing at least some physical activity every day.  Not only does exercise burn calories, but it also releases endorphins (natural mood enhancers).
3. Replace food with a hobby or activity that you enjoy or even take up a new hobby.  Eating is often a replacement for emotional fulfillment so if you make an effort to fill these spaces with activities unrelated to eating you will be making important progress.
4. Stop buying junk and replace the junk you used to buy with healthy fruits, vegetables, and whole foods.  When these foods aren’t accessible your temptation should decrease.
5. Try eating smaller meals instead of two or three large meals.  Spreading out the eating helps regulate blood sugar and this will help with cravings.
6. Drink a full glass of water between meals and snacks to help fill you up.
7. Supplement to make sure that you are getting adequate vitamins and minerals. Often the body feels like it wants to keep eating when we are not getting the vitamins and minerals it needs.
8. Chew more slowly.  Experts say that the optimum number of chews for each bite of food is 50.
9. Avoid all artificial sweeteners except Stevia.
10. Avoid MSG.  This leads to food cravings.  Also avoid trans fats, soy products, and canola oil.

What to eat:

1. Omega three fats are important for mental health.
2. Almonds help increase dopamine levels.
3. Avacados provide healthy vegetable fats, increase dopamine levels, and increase endorphin levels.
4. Turkey increases endorphin levels.
5. Oatmeal increases serotonin levels.
6. Whole grains, brown rice, fruit, high fiber cereal, potatoes…all increase serotonin levels.
7. Vegetable fats increase endorphin levels.  Include olive oil, almonds, and avacados in your diet.
8. Protein helps increase dopamine and epinephrine levels.

When the going gets tough, drink a big glass of water, call your friend, take a walk, do anything to avoid giving in and the craving will pass and soon be forgotten about. Try these things and rejoice in the positive steps you take.  Most people who have addictions usually plan their slip-ups in advance and have an excuse waiting to be used to justify their slip-ups. Instead of dwelling on eating develop a lifestyle that revolves around activities and interests other than eating.

You will find that while there may be some ups and downs you will slowly but surely be on the path for success.

Okay people. Are you ready to bust through that plateau that has been dragging you down and destroying your motivation?

Eric Paskel is a trainer who has an amazing amount of hot bodies to his credit. He now presents the XFLOWSION PLATEAU BLAST. Get ready to experience a blast-off right past that frustrating plateau that’s been slowing you down. This is a fun, exciting exercise program that provides three workouts in one.

Not only is this an unbelievably effective workout (amazing results in 1/3 the typical time), but you will actually love it! The moves are designed for exceptional fat burning and muscle toning. You will meet new goals and love every minute of it because this is fun!

I don’t know of anyone who has made a commitment to exercise that doesn’t deal with lack of motivation or frustration with results. I am someone who exercises six days a week regularly. I never miss my work-outs…but I won’t say that I don’t have problems motivating from time to time. Exercise can get stale and that takes the fun right out of it. If you’re not extremely motivated this can be dangerous. This could easily lead to a trend where you are not exercising the way you should be…the way you promised yourself you would.

XFLOWSION is a great solution to boredom. Work your body…transformation your body. If you have committed to an active lifestyle in which exercise is an important part, then Xflowsion will put the fun back into this commitment!
