Practice The No Choice Rule America is the land of options and opportunities but having too many food options and opportunities makes it virtually impossible to eat adequate amounts of the right foods at the right times. Beck Diet author Dr. Beck suggests you exercise your "Resistance Muscle". Dr. Beck explains that when you tell yourself that you do not have the choice to indulge in anything you like at anytime you like because you'll be eating soon, then you strengthen your resistance muscle. The more you practice this the easier it becomes to stick to the eating habits that do result in permanent weight loss.
Learn To Deal With Hunger When dieters get hungry they often panic and lose control. This is when binges, overeating, and cheating occur. Dr. Beck explains that people need to realize that hunger, no matter how real or how intense, is never an emergency. It's also not as real as people think. Instead of losing it and eating everything in sight Dr. Beck recommends that you tell yourself that even though you hunger is making you uncomfortable you'll be eating soon or that just because you're hungry doesn't mean you should eat right now. She also suggest that you determine whether it's true hunger or maybe just a craving or the desire to eat.
Plan Your Alternatives The rest of the world isn't on your diet so you you have two choices: eat what you like and stay fat or stick to your plan and lose weight permanently. Dr. Beck explains that understanding this is key to finding daily solutions that work for you. When you grasp this you're no longer as tempted by bad choices available every day and also while on vacation, at office functions, parties, or holidays. Instead you make the choice to plan ahead and figure out a way to participate in your life while still staying on plan.
