Is a diet that prohibits everything rich normal?

Do you remember in adolescence (Oh what years!) when our platonic love finally paid attention to us, we stopped having interest. Suddenly he wasn’t the most interesting, or he wasn’t as pretty as we thought… It turned out that we just wanted his attention, and once we got it, it wasn’t as fun. Well, my dears, I’m sorry to tell you that the same thing happens with a diet. It happens that suddenly, on the second day you started the diet, BOOM! an inexplicable craving for chocolate cake and it turns out that the only thing your nutritionist or nutritional advisor forbade you to eat was chocolate cake. Isn’t that your case? Let’s analyze it. Since ancient times, prohibition has been the most delicious and inevitable temptation that can happen to us. Oscar Wild said it well: “The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.” There is also the option that this does not happen to you. Maybe you don’t suffer from the Eve complex and the forbidden doesn’t become irresistible. Maybe you just don’t know how to eat healthy. Does it sound loud? Maybe, but it’s the truth. I have patients who feel that their world will end if they do not have Sunday slices of pizza in their diet. Or the beers on Saturdays or the martinis on Wednesdays. And in the end they discover a completely delicious world, full of succulent and healthy food. There are many types of diet. As in love: there is everything and for everyone. There are some diets that start out being very calorically restrictive. Well, it is important that the patient understands the importance of calories you are consuming. And little by little the meals you are used to will be integrated again. But how wonderful it is when you realize that you no longer crave fast, processed, and greasy foods! I know, because I’ve been through it. I got to the point where I realized what I was putting in my body and I felt sorry for myself. I discovered a million, and continue to discover, delicious recipes, which not only contain less than half the calories of what I used to. But I also use natural products that are so good for my body and my family adopted them with joy. It always takes work and a lot of effort to get rid of bad habits, but it is possible. So stop making excuses, trust your instincts and dare to feel better about yourself.
