Is Food the Real Problem? Or is it Behaviour
January 27, 2022
People say that do not know what to eat. They say that they don’t know what is unhealthy for them compared to healthy
For most this is a myth, simply untrue, it isn’t a knowledge issue.
The majority of people know the difference between healthy and unhealthy…they know a nice big salad is good for them and a big bowl of ice cream isn’t. The problem much of the time isn’t really with food, it is with people, the behaviours of people.
For many people, their weight and health issues are from the cause and effect relationship. Which is the relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other or others. This is a combination of action and reaction.
Much of the time people’s weight gain is caused by their eating behaviours, they want to blame the foods, however, the behaviours are the catalyst.
And this leads to a totally new problem. A problem that is often overlooked when starting a diet.
It comes down to habits, to behaviours. This is why so many people fail with eating, they may change their foods up and have some great short-term success. However, this won’t be sustainable unless behaviours are addressed around food and eating.
Behaviours are likely to have been established in an attempt to cope with or solve a problem. Eating behaviours may be an environmental thing, they may be emotional, or they may be the result of restrictive eating periods that then creates the desire to binge. The behaviour in question could be different from person to person. What will be constant though is that the behaviour is always a result of an underlying problem.
Popular diets only tell you what and when to eat, there is no education on changing behaviours, and without this change in behaviour, there is no long-term success.
For change to occur, ensuring long-term success firstly the inhibiting behaviour needs to be identified. Once you have identified and learned about the behaviour the goal is to now figure out the problem causing this behaviour.
Once these two things have been established only then can strategies be put in place to start coming up with a game plan. A game plan to address and conquer your poor behaviours. To establish new actions, to create new habits and instill successful eating beahviours.
For many this may be a difficult thing, seeking help from a dietician or nutritionsit would be highly recommneded to help with changing eating behaviours.
