Are you not sure what to eat for natural weight loss? That is a
dieting dilemma. That is why there are programs that tell us how many
ounces of each food item to eat and in what order. But the problem with
that approach is that we are real, feeling, pleasure-seeking people.
So, let's work with that instead.
If you are going to eat anything, make sure you like it. If you don't, the result will be: You will eat the food you "should eat" and then move on to "what you really want". That leads to overeating. It's better to eat what you really want and get rid of all those calories that you should eat.
I have a Taste Test for you to try. It's a way to find out what you really like. I am betting you have lost touch with your true food likes and dislikes. Because of all the rules and restrictions, you can't get away from the you "should eat this" and you "can't eat that" mentality. You think you like the plastic cheese coated puffs in the neon bag. And you probably have eaten plenty of them. I am with you there. But let's find out what you really enjoy.
Try this easy Taste Test. Pick a food you think you really like the taste of.
If you loved it, that's a winner. That is a food to be included in your diet. If the taste wasn't so good, ditch it. Why bother? Pick another food and do the Taste Test again.
You don't have to eat with your eyes closed all the time. But use this test once in a while to get back on track. Soon you will have proper food perceptions even with your eyes open.
You'll get back in touch with your food just like when you were a kid. Remember: taste = yummy or taste = yucky (feed it to the dog.... if he will eat it). It used to be that simple.
It really does matter whether you eat delicious food. It affects your natural weight loss results. You need to find satisfaction in the food you include in your diet. If not, you will keep eating until you do.
Using this Taste Test is a good natural weight loss technique. Using it can help you discover real natural food pleasure.

Try this easy Taste Test. Pick a food you think you really like the taste of.
- Make this a mini event. Put some of that food on your plate.
- Sit down at the table. No eating on the run for this test.
- First, look at your food.
- Does it look delicious?
- Relax. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.
- Take a bite on your fork. Experience the smell. Does it make your mouth water?
- Now, take a taste. Focus only on the food.
- How does it taste?
- What's the texture?
- Aroma?
- Pleasure sensation?
- Chew slowly and savor. Does it meet your expectations?
- How do you feel "after" you eat it? Good or bad on the stomach?
If you loved it, that's a winner. That is a food to be included in your diet. If the taste wasn't so good, ditch it. Why bother? Pick another food and do the Taste Test again.
