Relationship mechanisms: anxiety and hunger
Anxiety reduces the level of serotonin in the brain, the hormone responsible for feeling good. As its production can be stimulated by the consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates (sweets, for example) and in tryptophan, which is the amino acid precursor of serotonin, you can understand the attack on food. In addition, eating your favorite food triggers the release of the hormone dopamine in the brain, which is responsible for the feeling of pleasure. We also eat more when we are anxious or stressed. because our body releases a hormone called cortisol, which gives the feeling of hunger and increases our ability to store fat in cells.
To lose weight well, an emotional change is important and, from there, create conditions to seek a better quality of life, incorporating regular physical activities, reducing the amount of food ingested, in addition to selecting a balanced diet. It is also fundamental to be able to identify and reformulate the beliefs on which obesity-generating behaviors are based so that the weight achieved after weight loss can be maintained.
The Coaching procedure presents the best tools and procedures to identify, access and reframe deep unconscious patterns that maintain obesity.
A refined set of strategies and techniques from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techiniques), Family Constellations, Timeline Therapy and Ericsonian Hypnotherapy, constitute a range of opportunities to redirect unwanted or limiting behavior, through the release of emotions.
Many of our behaviors are unconscious, including eating.
With regard to weight loss and weight maintenance, it is necessary to know precisely our preferences and eating habits and reprogram those that make it difficult to maintain the weight achieved.
In general, weight instability is the result of automated eating behaviors and, above all, of a body designed and selected by thousands of years of evolution. This body, however, has been subjected to very adverse conditions of nutrition and exaggerated sedentary lifestyle. Thus, these inappropriate behaviors can only be re-evaluated and redirected if properly understood and confronted by knowledge of the technologies of the mind, the most modern psychological approaches and their techniques with brief but profound results.
