Fight Food Cravings – Craving Fatty Foods

Craving fatty foods is somewhat natural in the world we live in. The majority of the Western world eats a high fat diet and it can typically be over 50% fat! Your body becomes accustomed to it! Our diets in the Western world are high in fat for many reasons but the number one reason being stress.

When we are under stress or any emotional pressure, many people turn to food for comfort. When you eat fat, because it is hard on the digestive system, it weighs you down and numbs you from what you would be feeling. We comfort eat. Feeling emotion/stress and digestion are two of the biggest and most energy consuming mechanisms of the body – your body can’t do both at once. So if you eat fatty foods you stop yourself feeling.

Comfort eating is a big part of our world and overcoming our reliance on fatty foods to numb us can be very difficult. So the best way to deal with it is to wean yourself off. When food becomes an emotional issue for us, simply cutting ourselves off of fatty foods maybe too much for us to handle emotionally. It is overwhelming because those emotions you kept buried and avoided will want to resurface. So what you need to do is wean yourself off.

The best way to do this is to allow yourself something fatty at the end of the day but not the rest of the day. Fatty foods can interfere with the digestion of others food you eat and leave you bloated and sluggish. This is because of how hard it is for your body to digest fat. So save your comfort eating for the end of the day. This is the best thing to do for your digestion but it is also the easiest thing to do. Most people find they comfort eat more in the evenings (currently there is research being conducted around the notion of night being something we fear and thus we comfort ourselves as a result).

Start your day with a healthy low fat breakfast like 5-6 pieces of fruit. Have a nice low fat lunch and then for the afternoon continue with the same pattern. Eat plenty of fruit; eat a low fat meal and stock up on this first. Providing your body with the right nutrients is the first way to stop craving fatty foods. Once you have stocked up, if you need to or want to eat something fatty then go ahead – but get your good food in first.

Once you are used to eating low fat for the majority of the day, then start working on weaning yourself off fatty foods in the evening. Make a realistic plan. Start by going a night a week without fatty foods for a couple of weeks, then two nights etc. This is the best approach for your emotional well-being. If you do too much too soon you will ultimately end up in a panic and binge
