Eating Patterns

Willpower eating V/s Mindful eating

There are multiple kinds of eating patterns and here I will talk about 2 distinct patterns of eating. Our pattern keeps changing with our understanding, experience and learnings.

1. Willpower eating – This eating pattern applies to all those who are looking for quick fixes, instant gratification, quick results. We often get carried away with campaigns such as 15kgs weight loss in 3 months, 21 days challenge – Shred your abs, 21 days program for fat loss. Such campaigns are quite tempting but normally puts us on restrictions, portion control, eating food that is absolutely not in line with normal homemade simple food. Restrictions always put any human in scarcity mindset. Scarcity mindset comes with a package of fearful and anxious eating because we start doubting everything, we eat in order to achieve the goal or the result we are seeking. Such pattern cannot last long because who would like to live in scarcity or restrictions forever?

2. Mindful eating – Mindful eating patterns is achieved by most of us after years of work towards health and wellness through our learnings and experiences. After trying and testing everything we come to a point where we seek simplicity, peace and sustainability. Mindful eating pattern requires abundance mindset. It applies to all those seeking simplicity, sustainability, health and wellness. It is a journey with no destination. But the outcome of this mindset is health and well-being. We all are striving for this. A very few achieve this at an early age but most of us have to struggle and work for years to reach here. Nevertheless, better late than never.
