THE NERVES GO TO THE CARTRIDGES
THE NERVES GO TO THE CARTRIDGES
The original phrase says that they are sweets, that spend five minutes in your mouth and your whole life in your pencil cases, but … it is your nerves that lead you to eat those sweets or buns that are going to become strong in your belly and thighs … And it's not that we just give credit to popular wisdom –although we've all proven the saying in our flesh–, but science supports it.
The chocolate trap
The chocolate trap
When you are nervous or anxious, you release a hormone (cortisol) that pushes you to get energy quickly.
One, two, three … answer: what gives you energy quickly? Bingo! The sugar.
Your brain immediately begins to send images of sweets, cookies, cakes and also potato chips and other caloric snacks, does that sound familiar?
The more stress, the more chocolate and the more hunger
The more stress, the more chocolate and the more hunger
Well, surely you already know or have read it, when you take something with a lot of free sugar, blood glucose rises to dangerous levels and the body reacts with a nice torrent of insulin, which drops that dangerous glucose sharply.
The problem is that glucose drops too fast and gives you a low that triggers the opposite mechanism: "sugar drop, we need more food" and you're back to start.
That's why you eat and you seem to have a hole in your stomach that never fills up. Furthermore, this action-reaction multiplies if you are nervous, because the body keeps asking for more and more food.

How much can you lose weight with this diet?

How do you do the diet to lose weight?
It is very easy, first it does not have difficult recipes or rare ingredients and to do it you just have to download the menus that you will find below for free. If you are going to do it for several weeks, change ingredients for other equivalents, white meat for white meat, blue fish for blue fish, etc. And, if you have a moment, keep reading because we are going to explain what pushes you to eat when you are nervous and - most importantly - how to avoid it thanks to this diet to lose weight.
Controlling anxiety about eating is possible
When you are on your nerves, your body releases cortisol. This hormone pushes you to get energy quickly, so you want foods that are rich in sugar and fat (chips, sweets, cookies) which are what give you this energy in the form of glucose. And after eating them you have a little respite, in which you feel good because glucose and serotonin, the hormone of happiness, soak your brain.
But … this happiness is short and soon your body has managed to lower glucose by releasing insulin. And all the energy that you have not burned in this time - horror! - goes to the michelin and becomes those rebellious pounds that later it costs to get rid of you.
How to avoid hunger strikes
What can we do to lose weight without starving between meals and without having anxiety attacks? Well, first of all, eat light foods that are very satisfying, so you will feel fuller and eat less, such as:
- Avocado. A quarter of this fruit is fat, but a healthy fat, like olive oil, is super filling and less caloric. The oil has 9 kcal per gram and the avocado only 2. You can take 1/4 a day without suffering from your weight. Check out these delicious recipes with avocado.
- Oats and seeds. Both oats and flax seeds (and other foods like legumes) have soluble fiber, which swells with the water in your stomach and forms a kind of gel that slows down digestion and fills you up for longer.
- Lean meat. Chicken or rabbit are high-protein and low-fat meats. They need a lot of work to metabolize, so it takes time to feel hungry after eating them, and more if you accompany them with vegetables and whole wheat pasta, rich in fiber.
To follow the diet to lose weight with a smile on your face, you also need foods rich in an amino acid called tryptophan, which is essential for your body to produce serotonin, the “happiness hormone”.
And not only that, the ideal is to combine this nutrient with others, such as magnesium or B vitamins, to further raise serotonin levels. And we have taken these combinations into account in the menus of this diet to lose weight.
But not only does it put you in a good mood, a diet rich in tryptophan helps you get a smooth belly, because it fights cortisol, which, as we have seen, is responsible for michelin.
Foods with magnesium to burn fat
This mineral is the best friend of all of us who want to take care of the line: it calms stress, helps burn more fat by activating muscles, purifies, removes the anxiety to snack, gives you energy and even helps you to be more regular.
Where to get it from? Pumpkin, sunflower or sesame seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, soybeans, chickpeas, wheat germ, peanuts, chocolate and green leafy vegetables, among others, provide magnesium in quantity. Do you want to know other foods with magnesium? Don't miss this post.
Keep in mind … Consume organic products, since chemical fertilizers reduce the concentration of magnesium. And cereals, better whole grains because with refining, up to 80% of the mineral can be lost.
Moderate coffee consumption to 2 cups a day, because being diuretic causes magnesium to be eliminated.
Tricks to lose weight without suffering
- Make it easy. Don't try to cook four dishes and two desserts every day. If you can, make more and freeze. When you can't, throw in bag salads, fish fillets that take two minutes, and other aces up your sleeve that fix a meal in 10 minutes.
- Be flexible. If your friends decide that it is good to meet for an infusion and that it is time for dinner, sign up for the exit without remorse. You should leave a couple of free meals to fit your social life.
- Don't double cook. None of your food and another for the rest of yours. There are light recipes that you can all eat and suck your fingers, such as chicken or a baked fish garnished with vegetables and potatoes, seafood paella, hake in green sauce …
- If it's pizza on Friday … Or on Saturday, don't give it up. Make the very fine base yourself (or buy it ready-made) and add few and light ingredients (tomato, sweet ham and little cheese or roasted vegetables and anchovies …). You can easily have a quarter of a medium pizza or make a light version of pizza that does not get fat.
- No tremors. If you skip the diet, don't give it all up. This is not a sprint, it is a long distance race. Give yourself permission to fail from time to time, but get busy again - not worrying - about eating well.
- To take it without nerves, support the diet with sports, which raises your spirits, as well as sleeping well, putting yourself in the sun for a while each day and taking things with humor. Check out these tricks to be in a good mood.
The great secret of this diet to lose weight: infusions
Do you know the difference between finishing dinner and feeling good or continuing to make "visits" to the kitchen to snack on the sly? An infusion. As easy and as simple as you read it. And in the menus of our diet to lose weight we have taken it into account, that is why almost all meals are finished with infusions, but not just any infusion, but those with relaxing and anti-stress properties like these in the image below.
