SSP 132. Food, Diet and the Holiday Season

----------------------------------------

♦ Food, Diet and the Holiday Season ♦

----------------------------------------

It’s the Holiday season and time to start fretting about diet and weight gain, right? Not so fast. Healthy diet psychology celebrates and embraces food during the Holidays.

♦♦ “What you resist, persists.” ♦♦

• Food has been part of holiday traditions for hundreds of years, spanning both time and cultures; it is included in the happiness of the Season.

• Resisting food during the holidays is silly. It just needs to be managed.

• Proper diet psychology is about “managing celebration.”

• This isn’t the time of year to wage war against yourself.

• Scott suggests “…a time to embrace” from Ecclesiastes chapter 3, 1-8 includes the embracing of food in its proper time:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…”.

• Scott made a practice of scheduling a two-week-long break from diet each year during Christmastime.

• If the Holiday season has no importance for you, then go ahead and stick to your diet.

• A free mind doesn’t mean total hedonistic approach to food indulgence… the free mind is an adult mind.

• The Cycle Diet is a diet of inclusion, not exclusion; you can live [and maintain a great physique] in a world of food abundance.

• The Cycle Diet allows for refeeds. These can be built into the program.

• Lean into food during the holidays rather than fighting it as fad diet gurus would advise.
