Overcoming Yo-yo Diets and Emotional Eating

Victoria Isabel | December 14, 2009

How often have you triumphantly lost weight, only to accumulation the weight again? Many individuals fight this battle for nearly all of their lives.

What is the cause of weight cycling?

Cutting drastically on your food intake for quick weight loss may seem like a great idea. However, your body eventually anticipates a decrease of food intake. The body will adjust to this lower calorie intake by decreasing the way it burns food for energy (metabolic rate) and conserving energy as well. The body then plateaus. It slows down or stops weight loss.

Most individuals struggle to maintain their diet at this point. Therefore, the weight slowly starts to come right back. What is worse, the decrease in metabolic rate causes their body to survive on fewer calories.

This extreme calorie limitation causes a reduction in muscle tone. Typical signs are flabby upper arms and buns.

Alternatives to yo-yo diets

Instead of hoping for a rapid weight loss, take a more long term sustainable approach. Your goal should be for a modest weight loss. Decrease calorie intake by 200-500 calories a day depending on how much you have to lose.

Consider your diet as a healthy eating plan instead of a temporary one.

Increase your level of physical activities by incorporating them in your daily life. For example, take the stairs or try something you enjoy such as dancing or hiking.

Eat smaller meals throughout the day instead of skipping them especially breakfast. This will prevent you from overeating later on.

Overeating and Emotional Eating

Okay, maybe your problem isn’t yo-yo dieting. It’s possible that your eating has become a habit such as eating junk food when you sit down in front of the TV.

Perhaps it is emotional. When you are stressed, you do not eat all day. Then when you get bored, you raid the refrigerator.

Overcoming emotional or habitual eating

If food is feeding an impulsive need in your life, then it is time to examine what is causing it. Find substitutes to eating instead. For example, instead of celebrating your birthday with cake (childhood ritual), invite your friends to play miniature golf instead. Have healthy snacks such as an apple or carrot sticks on hand. You can grab them quickly when you are too stressed to find time to eat at work. Or you can just clear your head by taking a brisk walk during your lunch break.

Control your hunger by eating multiple small meals a day. Never go hungry, because if you do, you are more likely to overeat or make poor choices.

Do not eat to 100% fullness! Yes, you can train your body to be satisfied at 60 percent capacity. It is okay to leave food on your plate. You are not helping poverty ridden countries by cleaning your plate.

You know what junk food can do to you. Therefore, just get rid of them. Instead stock your kitchen with whole-grain breads, vegetables and fruit.

It may sound corny, but try to do things to keep you focused on your goal. For instance, put a sign over your bed that says: The difference between fat and fit is I. Stick a sign on your dashboard that says: none of these foods taste as good as a size 8 (add a picture of a cheeseburger and fries).

In the end, it all boils down to staying on track. Do not fall off the wagon even if you overate once (or twice).

College Athletes: How To Create The Hype To Get A College Scholarship

James Scott | November 12, 2009

The key to raising awareness on behalf of your client is to take advantage of massive online, targeted traffic available to benefit the client. The solution to the ultimate challenge of targeting exposure is to corner the web properties that are popular information sources for the decision makers that hold the key to that next step in the evolution of your client. Match your client with the needs of the decision maker.

Demonstrate empirically how your client’s athletic ability can cure the ailments of the coach or personnel director who is in a position of need. Gently corner, the decision maker and hook them with catchy titles that will embed themselves in their memory.

It should be brought to the reader’s attention that one must translate the position of your client for a singular role while leaving the assessment of their athletic qualities to the imagination of the coach or individual assigned to recruitment. This same process can be used for a university student on the verge of graduating with an eye toward a career as a professional competitor.

85% of recruitment of an athlete pivots around the exposure achieved through media hype. Hype is a process that can easily be created with the proper internet strategy which normally has a combination of press releases, article distribution, photo distribution and video clip promotion on video hosting sites.

These media genres will gain mass exposure that has a localized feel that will command national attention. When raising awareness for an athlete who has intention of pursuing big dreams it’s the publicist’s job to pave the way through various combination’s of exposure strategies, the rest of the burden falls on the shoulders of the athlete to perform to maintain the interest that you’ve help generate.
