A Simple Rule of Energy Science Nutrition
There are some basic tenets in nutrition that sometimes are unspoken but intuitively make absolute sense
One of these is "If you're not hungry, don't eat"
Makes a good deal of sense but I see patients struggle with this because there is an underlying myth that if we don't eat, bad things will happen to us
But if we think about appetite, it IS the mindbody's dialogue with us that the digestive fire or the enzyme system of the gastrointestinal(GI) tract is not ready for the experience of food
After all the mindbody does talk to us, we just have to tune into the messages that it sends us If we are busy in fear(somebody says we should eat, fatigue argues that we need more energy) then we have trouble interpreting the message(not hungry)
The energy science nutritional model states that no hunger implies that the transformative energy pattern of the mindbody is stressed and that foods will not be properly digested even if we send it down
And if we elect to go against the wisdom of the mindbody, the result is not pretty
The food languishes in the gut not going anywhere but to be parked in the Never Never land of toxic load that is debris that causes harm to the physiology And this is probably the mose salient argument for not eating
The food rather than nourishing our mindbody becomes unused toxic waste that goes everywhere we don't want it to go
And this dictum of not eating when not hungry is not just for when we are sick or stressed, it is applicable to a wide array of circumstances when perhaps food is not the best choice
