Learning to bypass frequent hunger signals is a big step toward long-term appetite control and weight loss

You aren't going to change your most destructive food eating behaviours in the moment- when the craving comes, when you are stressed, tired, and looking to self-medicate. It is in how you reflect after moments of harmful behaviours that increases future discipline. 

You didn't end up in a state of poor health because you lacked information. You ended up in a state of poor health because of many years of poor choice making. If you don't address the driving forces underneath your most unhealthy behaviours, you cannot succeed in diet and exercise efforts. 

Ripping off the bandaid when it comes to unhealthy behaviours is a strategy that rarely works. If you struggle with a destructive behaviour it is because you are getting something positive out of the deal. When we work WITH our weaknesses, we can modify our behaviours and see meaningful progress while keeping the positive crutch that the behaviour is delivering to the mind.

Reductionist science, isolated variables, and chasing blood chemistry markers is all the craze in modern medicine (and fitness). But are we setting ourselves up for disorder by treating numbers?
