I realized the other day one major reason why certain diet and exercise plans work for me, and others don't. There are, of course, ease of use and convenience factors, but beyond that, it's an explanation. A real one. "Because it works" doesn't cut it for me. I need to know why, I need to see a point other than blind faith and experts said so.
Tell me what happens in my body when I eat certain foods. Tell me why my body reacts to this differently from that. Make me understand, educate me. Then, if I understand and accept the reasoning, the plan should work.
I completely understood my plan under hypnosis, what my goals were and why. Why we had certain tasks, essential foods and no-no foods. I may not have understood WHY the hypnosis part worked exactly, but I understood the why. And, I saw results quickly.
So now what? I'm off hypnosis per the doctor because of my increased exercise, and I'm back into personal training and a clean eating diet. This has been an adjustment after 8 months of no weighing or tracking foods, no reading labels, no carbs at all, no schedule for meals, nothing that tastes sweet.
And I'm realizing that I am not following this plan as closely or seriously as my hypnosis plan, because I don't understand why. I keep hearing the voice of my hypnotist saying, nothing sweet, every time I pick up a protein bar or shake. I remember that we weren't supposed to eat nuts of any kind, but clean eating encourages peanut butter.
So, my goal in the next few days is to research and discover why clean eating works, how it helps my body and see if I can really get myself properly on track with this plan. Feel free to share thoughts and resources on clean eating with me!
