Five Senses Diet | For those who experience a rebound the harder they try | Why dietary restrictions and self-denial don't last 🌙🌿

Even though you are working hard on your diet,
why do you end up having a rebound?

Doesn't that happen to you? 🌙

I managed to hold back today.
I didn't eat any snacks.
I reduced my meal portions.
I also exercised.

And yet,
a few days later, I suddenly want to eat everything.

I can't stop eating sweets.
I end up eating at night.
I feel like, 'Oh, whatever, I don't care anymore.'

And then again,
you blame yourself, thinking,
'Maybe I just have a weak will.'

But that,
might not just be a lack of willpower 🌿

Perhaps,
your mind and body, which have been working too hard,
are trying to regain their balance later on.

Experiencing a rebound the harder you try doesn't mean your body is bad

When you are on a diet,
you inevitably focus on 'trying hard'.

Reducing the amount you eat.
Stopping snacks.
Holding back at night.
Avoiding the things you like.
Checking your weight every day.

Of course,
there are things that are necessary to get into shape.

But,
if you only continue to deny yourself,
both your body and mind will gradually become tense.

'I must not eat.'
'I must not get fat.'
'I have to do this properly.'

The more these words fill your head,
the more food stops being just food.

Something forbidden.
A reward.
An escape.
Something that brings comfort.

When that happens,
the urge to eat can become even stronger 🌙

The more you deny yourself, the stronger the presence of food becomes

The more you think, 'I shouldn't eat that,'
for some reason, that food won't leave your mind.

This is,
something that often happens while on a diet.

Don't eat chocolate.
Don't eat bread.
Don't eat ramen.
Don't eat late-night snacks.

From the moment you decide that,
the presence of that food in your mind grows larger.

Even though you try not to look at it,
it bothers you even more.

Even though you try to forget it,
it stays with you.

This might not be your body being selfish,
but rather a state where your senses are reacting strongly 🌿

Taste.
Smell.
Sight.
Touch.
Satisfaction.
Peace of mind.

When you suddenly cut these off,
your mind and body may send a signal saying,
"I'm not getting enough."

Dietary rebounds can also come from emotional hunger.

Even though you aren't hungry,
you want to eat something.

Even though you've eaten enough,
you feel like it's still not enough.

At times like that,
what you are truly lacking might not be calories, but emotional space 🌙

You are tired.
You are tense.
You are anxious.
You are continuing to deny yourself.
You are trying too hard to be perfect.
You are being too hard on yourself.

When that state continues,
your body may seek a moment of relaxation
through food.

When you eat something sweet,
you feel a little relieved.

When you eat something warm,
you feel a little more at ease.

When you eat something crunchy,
it distracts your mind.

That might not just be appetite,
but a state where your five senses are searching for comfort 🌿

What to look at before 'trying harder'

When a rebound happens,
you might immediately think like this:

I have to deny myself more.
I have to be stricter.
I have to start over seriously tomorrow.

However,
when you are experiencing a backlash,
if you tighten the reins on yourself even more,
it becomes easier to fall back into the same cycle.

Try hard.
Endure.
Reach your limit.
Eat.
Blame yourself.
Try hard again.

This repetition
can make dieting painful 🌙

So first,
instead of blaming yourself for the backlash,
look at what you were tired from.

Were the dietary restrictions too strict?
Was there not enough sleep?
Had stress built up?
Was there no time to feel at ease?
Were there too few pleasures?

Looking at that
will be your next step 🌿

A diet that doesn't leave your five senses behind

When it comes to dieting,
it's easy to focus on the numbers.

Weight.
Body fat.
Calories.
Carbohydrates.
Step count.
Amount of exercise.

Of course,
looking at the numbers is also important.

But,
if you only look at the numbers,
your own senses can get left behind.

You are actually tired.
You are actually sleepy.
You actually want to feel at ease.
You actually want to rest.
You actually want to feel a little satisfied.

If you chase only the numbers
while ignoring those voices,
a backlash is likely to occur at some point 🌙

The Five Senses Diet is not just about whether to eat or not,
but about looking at
"what I am seeking right now."

Do you want flavor?
Do you want aroma?
Do you want warmth?
Do you want peace of mind?
Do you want silence?

Just by noticing that,
the way you face your appetite will change a little 🌿

A day when a backlash occurs is not a day of failure

A day you ate too much.
A day you couldn't hold back.
A day you couldn't do things as planned.

On days like that, you
might just think, "I failed."

But,
everything doesn't end just because of that one day 🌙

A day when a backlash occurs is
a day when a message from your body and mind has emerged.

Perhaps you were pushing yourself a little too hard.
Perhaps you were being a little too strict.
Perhaps you were lacking a little bit of peace of mind.

If you look at it that way,
the time you spend blaming yourself will decrease a little.

Instead of blaming,
observe.

Instead of denying,
adjust.

Instead of punishing yourself,
think of the next improvement.

That way,
it becomes easier to continue your diet 🌿

To those who experience a backlash the harder they try

What is important in a diet is
not to push through with sheer willpower the whole time.

It is also not about constantly driving yourself into a corner.

It is okay to have days where you work hard.
It is okay to have days where you relax.
It is okay to have days where you reset.

What is important is
when a backlash occurs,
not to end up hating yourself 🌙

The you who wanted to eat.
The you who wanted to rest.
The you who wanted something sweet.

Deep down,
there might be a feeling of wanting to satisfy something.

A diet is
not something for blaming yourself, but
something for making peace with your own body.

If trying hard makes you feel miserable,
try loosening your approach just a little.

If you have been proceeding only through self-denial,
try incorporating time to satisfy your five senses as well.

Instead of making your appetite your enemy,
try listening to the voice deep within it.

"What was I so tired from?"
"What did I really want?"
"How can I feel a little more at ease?"

Those questions
become the gateway from a diet that blames you for rebounding
to a diet that aligns yourself 🌙🌿
