Dependence on products

Most people who lose weight have a certain set of favorite foods that prevents them from following strict diets. Even if we have enough willpower for a certain stage, our body subsequently "gets" the pleasure it has not received from food. This is perhaps one of the main reasons why people abandon healthy and rational diets - habits are too strong. Today we're going to talk about a pretty serious topic.: how to get rid of food addiction, and at the same time preserve the joy of life.For a long time, it was believed that addiction to nutritionally harmful, but tasty and high-calorie food, belongs to the category of ordinary habits that, with proper willpower, are easy to overcome. However, modern scientific research has put it on a par with drug, alcohol and nicotine addiction. The study of this problem was conducted at several American universities using different methods, starting with simple statistics and ending with neurophysiology. Currently, the scientific world has adopted the Yale Food Addiction Scale, which is most often abbreviated to the abbreviation YFAS. According to it, we will evaluate the most insidious product groups, the rejection of which is the most difficult, and the harm they cause is undeniable.Food addiction to cakes, This group of products, which can also include cakes, cream eclairs and other similar "calorie bombs", occupies the top line of the scale. According to American scientists, it has an average of 3.26 points - a truly fatal combination of 500-700 calories per serving and a burning desire to consume it under the slightest stress to compensate for the disorder. Ideally, it is better to abandon this product altogether, especially if there are no special loads in everyday life (fitness does not count). But if you really want to, and the lack of a cake-cake dessert will really worsen the quality of life, then you can use it exclusively in the morning - for breakfast or lunch. If you feel like it in the evening, and this is most often the case, then this "urge" should be suppressed with the help of light fruits, and the reward should be postponed to the morning.Food dependence on soda is specifically about sugary drinks of any brand without any discount on prefixes like "diet", "zero" and the like. Even if there is a little less sucrose in a particular bottle, the metabolism will still be disrupted with the systematic use of fizzy drinks. Any - we emphasize, any - sweet soda "integrates" into the metabolic processes and disrupts the absorption of slow carbohydrates with proteins. To get hooked on this addiction, you only need to drink 0.3 pepsicols for three weeks, so scientists put this product in second place on the Yale scale of dependence on harmful products.Recently, food addiction to burgers seemed to be a purely American problem - few Russians or Europeans regularly ate this type of fast food. However, at present, the first generation is entering adulthood, which, thanks to globalization, cannot imagine the composition of its diet without this energy "recharge". Yes, burgers are very convenient as a snack during the day or on a lunch break, but they contain a lot of calories. In addition, the flavor additives used in all chain restaurants cause persistent addiction and even a certain aversion to "normal" food. Therefore, it is better to deal with burgers from childhood, and explain all harmful factors as much as possible so that this product does not "integrate" into the norm.Food dependence on potatoes, first of all, we are talking about French fries from fast food, but other cooking methods in fast food establishments are very harmful. It has long been noticed that with a fairly high calorie content, fried potatoes do not give a long feeling of satiety. After just 1.5-2 hours, a person has an attack of burning hunger, which urgently needs to be "bombarded" with something equally high-calorie and often sweet. Scientists explain the addiction to French fries by a reaction to acrylamide, which enhances the pleasure of food and fixes a kind of conditioned reflex in the psyche. This is most often an unconscious feeling, and subject to an authoritative lecture from a nutritionist, you can abandon this product on your own and permanently.Food addiction to baking and ice cream, although this group of products differs in its mechanism of action, it occupies one position on the American addiction scale. Ice cream, for example, in addition to caloric content, can literally "hook" a person to a creamy and milky taste, which, due to its tenderness, subconsciously seems light and safe. It's even easier with pastries and cookies - the desire to have a bite often ends with the destruction of the whole package, especially against the background of stress during the working day. Sweet buns with tea are loved by the vast majority of overweight people, regardless of gender - is this not a reason to think? To reduce the risks, if you do not have enough willpower at all, you should take with you exactly as much as is sufficient in terms of energy.Food addiction to chips and snacks, numerous "nuts" and "rings", crab-flavored chips, peanuts in bacon and similar "snacks" cannot leave many of us indifferent. In our Russian reality, it's time to put this group of products at the top of the addictive scale. And it's not even about the calorie content as such, although it does have a place to be, namely in strong cravings and a "meditative" way of eating. In modern science, there is even a definition for such a mechanism of food consumption - hedonic hyperphagia. In addition to the general deliciousness and "attachment", nut chips are produced using technologies unknown to the general public.For example, when buying a pack of bacon-flavored chips, the consumer receives a mixture of rice starch, soy, thickeners, stabilizers, preservatives, and flavor enhancers - sometimes without even the slightest presence of "original" potatoes. Also, manufacturers of such products add so-called triggers to extract excess profits, which chemically affect the pleasure centers in the human brain. In all likelihood, the problem of snacks will have to be solved at a high state level, since the protective mechanisms of the psyche of the younger generation, and adults too, often do not work.Food dependence on chocolate is considered a cult product, and complete rejection of it will be a real torture for many. Therefore, the best way out would be to discuss some kind of individual "chocolate norm" with your nutritionist, so as not to get better and not lose one of the important colors of life. The mechanism of its effect, as well as its place in the Yale Addiction Scale, is in many ways similar to factory-made snacks. But the effect on the pleasure centers occurs in a more natural and subtle way, which makes it difficult to give up chocolate on your own. You have undoubtedly read about its harm more than once, so we will not give well-known facts. Let's just note that one of the properties of chocolate is a kind of shutdown of certain areas of the brain that are responsible for remorse. This is partly why this product is popular, although few people realize such an impact rationally.Food dependence on caffeine can be classified as one of the most controversial, but there are no serious reasons not to believe the conclusions of American scientists. We used to believe that high-quality coffee (naturally, without sugar) even promotes weight loss, enhances metabolism and mobilizes internal energy reserves during a long diet. However, excessive consumption (over four cups of espresso) On the contrary, it can slow down the metabolism, especially in terms of assimilation of valuable protein foods. Also, caffeine with regular "overdoses" causes problems with the cardiovascular system, which can become a serious impetus not just to excess weight, but to real obesity.The main conclusion can be considered the statement that not everyone can independently get rid of food addiction, therefore, seeking the help of a specialist can be considered justified to the same extent as with drug addiction, tobacco smoking and alcoholism.
