The expert pointed out the connection of emotions, beliefs and environment with appetite.

Weight loss expert Marina Krainik explained how emotions, beliefs, and the environment shape appetite and what to do about it.

In conversation with the agency RuNews24.Ru On Monday, September 29, the specialist noted that excess weight is often kept not by physiology, but by subconscious attitudes, habits and emotions. According to her, stress and anxiety often provoke "automatic" overeating, and beliefs like "everyone in our family is overweight" or "it's useless to lose weight with age" reinforce the old way of life. She stressed that about 80% of our decisions are dictated by the subconscious, and until a person works out limiting scenarios, weight can remain in place, despite dieting and exercise.

Krainik suggested a simple exercise — write out at least 30 beliefs that interfere with slimness, and formulate an alternative opposite to each one. It is also important to monitor the triggers of overeating, replace "prohibitions" with specific actions (for example, water and fruit instead of sweets), support emotions in other ways, and improve sleep and rhythm. Small steps and taking into account progress, according to her, help to consolidate new habits and form a positive identity.

The expert noted that weight loss does not start from a plate, but from the head. Mindfulness, gentle environmental restructuring and self-care transform the weight loss process from a struggle into a path to inner harmony and sustainable results, notes 360.ru .
