Eating habits are deeply rooted in our upbringing and personal histories, they are a way of living and carry with them certain memories, thoughts, and emotions. Expecting individuals to change their eating habits by simply conveying the optimum nutritional facts will therefore almost never result in a lifestyle change. Something as embedded into us as eating patterns require a scientific approach to understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used as an approach to better understand the root cause of weight gain or unhealthy eating patterns and to enable change by targeting problematic behaviors.
In the CBT approach to healthy eating, the therapist and client work together to achieve the following:
1. Find the core problems that lead to eating problems and find ways to solve these problems
2. Develop realistic expectations around body weight and size
3. Find motivation for each and every day
4. Reduce the fear of hunger
5. Manage cravings
6. Use alternative strategies to cope with negative emotions
7. Get back on track when you make a mistake
8. Target: dysfunctional beliefs related to deprivation, unfairness, discouragement, and disappointment and thoughts that undermine motivation and sense of self-efficacy
9. Find a healthy and flexible way of eating that will become a way of life
Countless studies have shown the importance of adherence in weight loss and control – a way of eating is of no benefit if it is only adopted for a certain period of time.
“Shock diets”- diets that are very low in calories and result in rapid weight loss have been scientifically proven to be ineffective in the long term.
For continued wellness, one must find a style of eating that they can keep up for life. Here at Vital Habits we can help you find the optimum balance to enhance your quality of life. For more information on this topic, head on over to our blog.
