The formation and impact of bad habits
Many people have bad habits, which may be related to their diet or lack of exercise. These habits are often related to mood swings; for example, eating carbohydrates when stressed makes them feel better, or when bored or tired. These behaviors may seem harmless, but in the long run, they can lead to health problems.
The person who shared his experience used to eat a whole cup of ice cream every night for a year; he also had a habit of eating potato chips and popcorn while watching TV, and even switched to eating apples with nut butter, but these were still bad habits. He gained 21 pounds because of these habits, and for a period of time, he bought a convenience store margarita every night for six months. These habits were initially enjoyable, but later became uncomfortable and even painful.

Ask yourself: Are you willing to change?
What bad habits do you have? Which one is the worst? How willing are you to change? On a scale of 0 to 10 , where 0 represents absolutely no willingness, 10 represents very much willingness, and 5 represents "how easy it is." These are questions worth pondering.
Many people are reminded of the harmful effects of carbohydrates by those around them, but the speaker wants to look at it from another perspective: Does eating carbohydrates make you happy? Does it make you relax? Does it make you feel satisfied after a hard day? These are all questions worth evaluating.
Physiological mechanisms of carbohydrate addiction
When you habitually consume carbohydrates, you are actually satisfying withdrawal symptoms caused by damage to neurotransmitters. After repeated consumption of refined carbohydrates, the body undergoes chemical changes, gradually leading to dependence in the nervous system, eventually evolving into mild addiction.
Addiction is defined as: having a strong craving for something that you cannot control.
Six ways to help you break your carbohydrate addiction
- Increase your willingness to change to 10 : Making a firm decision is the first step.
- Change your daily habits : For example, clear out ice cream to make it harder to buy, and replace it with a healthier version, such as keto desserts.
- Eliminate distractions : Avoid social activities that could easily lead you to break your vows, and don't watch food channels.
- Get through the discomfort : Withdrawal symptoms can bring stress and a sense of emptiness, so persevere.
- Increase dietary fat : Low-fat or low-calorie diets make it harder to give up carbohydrates, while moderate amounts of fat can help prolong satiety and reduce cravings.
- Supplementing with vitamin B , especially B1 : Nutritional yeast is a natural and effective option that helps neurotransmitters function properly and reduces discomfort.
