Weight loss cannot be achieved by blindly dieting. If you want to lose weight through dieting, you need to master the following 6 dieting secrets.
Key point 1: Hunger and appetite are two different things.
Hunger is generated by internal stimuli. When the stomach is empty, it contracts, and if food is not consumed, it can cause mild dizziness, trembling, and low blood sugar. In contrast to hunger, appetite is generated by external stimuli, such as the appealing appearance, delicious smell, and enticing color of food.
Appetite and hunger are often confused because when we experience an appetite triggered by external stimuli, we exhibit the same phenomena as when we feel hungry—increased saliva production and stomach contractions. However, unlike hunger, this feeling quickly disappears if left unattended. Therefore, to stay fit, it's essential to distinguish between genuine hunger and simply cravings.
People who frequently diet often find it difficult to distinguish between genuine hunger and mere cravings, and once they give in to their appetite, they can't resist the urge to eat high-calorie foods. Overweight people either starve themselves or overeat.
Unfortunately, people who try to restrict their food intake are more likely to fall into the hunger-bingeing trap. This is because they are so hungry they feel dizzy and their minds are filled with food, making it easy for them to eat more. If they eat smaller, more frequent meals, they won't experience this overwhelming craving.
