To lose weight when you are too fat, you must first eat less. And to eat less is to stop snacking first. However, according to a CREDOC study, revealed by Le Parisien, eating outside of meals has become an everyday habit for more than a third of French people.
Science hasn’t proven that eating makes you fat. On the other hand, not eating makes you lose weight. We are sure of that! As a result, there is no weight loss without reducing intake. No need to be “bac plus twenty” to understand it and above all, to be convinced. Anyone who claims the opposite is wrong. Some, driven in this by a few dramatic diets, favor the consumption at will of a single category of food, which opens the door to deficiencies and especially to the “yo-yo” diet: I lose a little and I take a lot .
The easiest way, to be sure to reduce intake, is to absolutely prohibit snacking. It is the main factor in obesity in industrialized countries. It is a fact of our society: everyone who is overweight nibbles. In front of television, in response to the solicitation of advertising or fast food signs. As soon as they get home, before collapsing in front of the screen, or between two programs, a visit to the refrigerator is the first reflex of “fat” … Most often, standing and at an impressive speed. Snacking very quickly becomes gluttony.
To lose weight, you have to try to eat, at fixed times
By respecting, at least 3 or 4 meals a day according to habits: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack (or snack at another time), dinner. The definition could not be simpler and everyone knows if they are snacking and what to do to stop snacking. It’s the easiest, most efficient way to eat less, with just one decision.
It is true that the food industry quickly understood the colossal economic stake represented by snacking. This market of the “fifth permanent meal” responds to a simple characteristic: to provide snackers with food, of easy access and consumption, meeting if possible our innate taste for sweetness and what gives flavor to our food. , the fat. Fat and sweet, you will recognize the chocolate bars, fruit jellies, micro cold cuts offered by all the supermarkets on monstrous shelves. These products are influenced by fashion and social factors which make them dreadful and difficult to fight. Of course, sugars are easily spotted. This is not the case with hidden fats, moreover, of poor quality.
Television advertising is often responsible for the intensification of snacking, especially in children, by triggering an abnormal hunger signal, because outside the usual rhythm of food intake. Sensation of hunger, craving, snacking: the vicious circle sets in. This, along with inactivity, is the main explanation for the obesity epidemic, particularly in childhood, which is raging in the United States.
Nibbling does not happen by chance, and everything cannot be blamed on the industrialists and the television. Everyone has their version: stress, anxiety, unbalanced meals, cravings … It is true that the explanations are numerous. For the “die-hard nibbler,” anything is good for snacking.
