Why Weight

Overeat This!

By Brian Balster

Does salad make you want to overeat? Do candies, breads, and other simple carbohydrates?
Think about this: why do you want to keep consuming an entire loaf of white bread, until you’re literally sick, yet with salad, you happily stop after a couple of bowls? What causes the bread craving? If salad is so good for you, why don’t you overeat it, too?

It’s called starvation. Not caloric starvation; nutrient starvation. White bread has only one nutrient: carbohydrates. Salads on the other hand have numerous nutrients: vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, fiber, protein, and so on.

Your stomach craves nutrients. So, when you eat a loaf of nutrient-starved bread, your stomach craves more food. Unfortunately, you misinterpret that hunger signal, and feed your stomach more of the same. What your stomach is really craving is more nutrients, more live enzymes, more cellular building blocks.

Overeating is simply your body’s way of saying: “I’m hungry for nutrients! Not that junk you usually put into my body. Give me the leafy greens and the bright red tomatoes, juicy oranges, and purple grapes.”

So, the next time you have a junk food craving, try eating an apple instead and see what happens. Often times, the combination of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and fiber that make up whole foods satisfy your hunger. Great snacks include apples with peanut butter, celery with peanut butter, sauteed mushrooms with a scrambled egg, or just raw carrots and brocolli. By eating whole foods, we give our bodies the nutrients they're craving. So treat your body good.
