Food addictions is one of the easiest things to slip into
It starts subtle from just one of the those daily things you eat to becoming full blown addictions
For example
It starts with just an addiction to bread; so daily you eat bread and it looks harmless. Now you can’t go 2 days without bread, now it graduates into full junk eating so much that that you don’t care anymore it’s damage on your body but you just keep eating
it looks harmless but I will tell you that you are on the high way to health problems
It is abnormal to say you will feel sick if you don’t drink garri in two days…. It sounds harmless but is is abnormal
Once it turns into a daily habit and it feels like there is a dependence on it, that’s an addiction there
And walking out of food addiction must be systematic. “No garri challenge, no soda challenge, no rice challenge, no bread challenge won’t cut it” because after challenging the challenge, you may slip back into that same addiction and it will be worse
You have to develop systems to walk out of food addictions and this includes:
- Setting alternatives- so instead of no soda challenge, take freshly blended fruit smoothies, increase your water intake, there are healthier drink alternatives like Zobo, yogurt etc
- Get an accountability partner which should preferably a health practitioner to ensure you don’t go back to it. You can adopt drastic methods like paying for this level of accountability, this is why you need me. Let’s talk about this here: https://wa.me/message/IKHDOYBVCAUXJ1
- It takes time, effort and consistency to break free from food addictions. It is not something you just walk out of in a 7 days no soda challenge
- Lastly, fix your dietary habits. Food addictions sometimes sterm from “not eating enough of “ “a lack of” “less of”. It is always the case of you not eating balanced diet to actually depend one kind of food. A dietary overhaul could just be the answer, let’s talk about this extensively here: https://wa.me/message/IKHDOYBVCAUXJ1
Do not take food addictions lightly, what started as just a “best food” can just graduate into something disturbing that may begin to affect your health
Treat this with much urgency
