hey guys have a question today and the

question is what is your motivation to

eat that’s the topic for today is it for

health reasons is it to satisfy your

hunger or is it mainly for pleasure and

taste there are people that pretty much

only eat for pleasure

what about boredom at night are you just

mindlessly putting things in your mouth

and just eating I mean I used to have a

problem with eating at a board and

especially like peanuts I would be just

consuming because I like that little

crunch not that I was hungry at all

I just ate because there was not much to

do what about stress do you tend to

relieve emotional pain physical pain

that’s a big reason to eat what about

number six avoiding waste do you find

that you always have to eat everything

in your plate no matter what even though

you’re completely stuffed you have to

finish your plate so this is another

reason why people will eat when they

maybe shouldn’t be eating so this is

what I would recommend I’m gonna have

you do an exercise and there’s gonna be

a link down below in description to then

click and then upload this little

exercise or document so I can summarize

everyone that does this exercise and do

another video and show the results

that’ll be really cool but what it is

it’s a food log and you’re gonna through

the day log all your food and then right

down next to the food you’re gonna write

down your motivation okay and you’re

gonna have some increase awareness on

exactly why you’re eating certain foods

so the goal is just increase awareness

so many people are eating reactively

they’re eating unconsciously and then

one day they wonder why a hack of my fat

okay and they they don’t they think well

I need to exercise no use need to be

aware of what you’re putting your mouth

and it’s not even just the sugar or the

added sugar it’s all the foods that will

create a sugar effect which I mean

increase the insulin okay so that’s the

combination of carbs in protein that

exaggerate the spike of insulin it’s the

combination of sugar in fat that

exaggerate this insulin spike so it’s

not even just the added sugar it’s even

the large amount of protein

and it’s a fad in the combinations that

can really get out of control so really

my goal for you is to get you to eat for

the right reason that’s all and if we

look at the definition of the word food

in the dictionary it really comes from

the derivation of nutrients so if you’re

eating to make sure you’re getting all

your nutrients that would be a very good

thing of course you want to satisfy your

hunger as well and you want to get the

right fuel and this is why we recommend

something called keto in a minute

fasting I’m gonna put the link down

below if you’re new to my channel but

most of you are not and you already know

about that and you’re already doing it

but this video is for those people that

are not but if you actually stick to

this right here

it’ll keep you out of trouble so if

you’re having some challenges with your

weight or your health let’s do some

things to pull you out of it okay number

one the first step is to increase your

awareness by actually doing a log and

really looking at the reason why you’re

really eating okay so do that but I

would like you to fill out the word

document and then upload it in the link

in the description versus typing it in

the comments because it’s more difficult

to go through that and summarize it so

that would be helpful for me okay number

two change your motivation of why you’re

eating but you know what’s interesting

you can also get a lot of pleasure from

foods that also get you healthy all

right number three make it easy to do

make sure your environment aligns with

this right here don’t hang out in a

bakery okay don’t surf the web on food

channels it’s just in your face all the

time so really avoid certain social

activities that could actually get you

in trouble like don’t hang on at the bar

that could be a problem

alright restaurants there’s a lot of

restaurants that actually serve the

foods that you shouldn’t be eating stay

away from those restaurants okay

and there’s also restaurants that bring

massive quantities of food and I’m

talking about a lot of pasta and things

that you should definitely avoid and as

a rule just make sure you don’t eat in

any fast food restaurant simply because

they give you chemicals that can throw

off your blood sugars and create more

hunger do not go shopping at the grocery

store when you are hungry in

starving for food that’s dangerous low

blood sugars

hypoglycemia this is an easy one if you

follow health Aikido and in fasting

because you won’t have the hunger the

cravings anymore but if you have a

problem with this fix it it just makes

it easier number four stay in the

present ok if you’re in the if you’re

truly in the present the odds of you

doing this are much less and if you’re

having continual problems just just do

more of the food lock so you can really

just be aware all the time that keeps

you in the present it keeps you out of

trouble we’re trying to pull you out of

the unconscious reactive eating and put

you in control of your own eating and

the last thing is I think a really great

tool is fasting I mean think about the

whole goal of fasting if the co goal is

not to eat so you avoid this whole thing

right here so fasting is very

therapeutic not just physically but

mentally it’s a discipline of avoiding

food and then you will eventually eat

and then you won’t eat so it’s putting

you really in control of that it’s very

therapeutic on many levels

alright guys there you have it there’s a

link down in the description go there

and actually get your food log do the

exercise and then I’m gonna do another

video to show you the results so if you
