The Solution's purpose is to change the way you think. This will, in turn, make you more successful at following a diet. The reason we fail at diets so often is because of our thought patterns that lead to cheating, overeating and making excuses. The diet teaches you to deal with hunger and cravings like thin people do.
Instructions
1. Know that feeling hungry or having cravings is not an emergency that requires immediate relief. The Beck Diet Solution teaches you tolerate cravings.
2. Distinguish between hunger and the desire to eat. Pay close attention to how you feel before and after meals. This will allow you to make better decisions about when to eat and when not to.
3. Learn that hunger is when you haven't eaten for several hours and your stomach feels empty. A desire to eat is when you eat because there's food available, not because you're actually hungry. A craving is when you get an emotionally or physiological urge to eat.
4. Eat until you're reasonably full but not stuffed. Don't feel like you have to empty your plate. The Beck Diet Solution teaches you change your mindset. You'll feel good about being satisfied and not stuffed at the end of a meal.
5. Have hunger tolerance. Practice not eating when you get hungry soon after your last meal. Focus your attention on something else. The hunger will go away.
6. Write a food plan out everyday to outline what you're going to eat the following day.
7. Keep a food journal. This will help you keep track of what you eat. Make sure to include food you nibbled on.
