Myth Busting: Not Eating Makes you Tired and Hungry?

Myth Busting Not Eating Makes you Tired and
Hungry ?

• Scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb said, Nature
  builds things that are anti-fragile. In the case
  of evolution, nature uses disorder to grow
  stronger. Occasional starvation or going to the
  gym also makes you stronger, because you subject
  your body to stressors and gain from them.

The Danger of the Energy Obsession

• Most people equate food with energy. We are
  bombarded with diet plans designed to guide us on
  how to eat for maximum energy. Were told if we
  want to get our energy up, eat something. We have
  a market saturated with energy bars and energy
  snacks.Thinking of food in terms of energy is
  somewhat of an oversimplification. Rather, we
  must think of food as a fuel that our bodies may
  convert to energy.

Think of a car. Simply filling a car with fuel
doesnt make it go. Rather, there is a whole
complicated process whereby the engine converts
the fuel into energy and makes the car go. It is
the same with the human body. We have a rather
complex engine of our own that takes the fuel we
give it and converts it into energy. Consider
again a car and filling the tank with fuel. If
youve filled the tank and youre going to drive
twenty miles into town and back, all the rest of
the gas in the tank is actually weighing the car
down, causing it to run less efficiently. So it
is with our bodies. We need to give our bodies
enough fuel to convert to the energy we need, but
anything in excess of that is simply slowing us
down, causing us to run less efficiently.

• After eating a meal, it is not unusual for a
  person to feel a bit sluggish while the body
  digests, but what about after that? Some of the
  food will be burned off as energy, but everything
  eaten in excess of what the body needed to
  convert into energy is stored and often turns to
  fat. Once energy is converted to fat in the body,
  our bodies are woefully inefficient at converting
  it back to energy.
• Eating beyond the amount of fuel your body needs
  is slowing you down in the short term and the
  long term. Unless you can match your bodys
  intake to your bodys energy expenditure, your
  body cannot achieve optimal efficiency.
• A study from the University of Colorado Anschutz
  Medical Campus, Aurora stated it quite
  succinctly The basic components of energy
  balance include energy intake, energy
  expenditure, and energy storage. Body weight can
  change when energy intake is not equal to energy
  expenditure over a given period of time.

When Less Really Is More

• While it may seem counter-intuitive, when human
  beings consume less, our bodies actually run much
  more efficiently. Energy levels increase and the
  body enters a higher stage of mental and physical
  acuity.

When Less Really Is More Cont.

• Overeating overtaxes the bodys resources. As
  your body focuses on processing a deluge of food
  with which its been bombarded, resources are
  taken away from other areas. Blood flow is
  diverted to the alimentary canal, reducing blood
  flow to other parts of the body. The pancreas is
  hard at work secreting insulin. The liver and
  kidneys exert great effort to filter the blood.
  Hormone levels are increased. The body feels
  tired and the mind feels dull.
• Harvard Medical School conducted a study that
  showed when animals were placed on a
  calorie-restricted diet, they thrived. They had
  higher levels of energy. Their minds were sharper
  and their bodies were in an elevated state of
  readiness.

The Drive of the Hunter

• You may have heard stories of early man and his
  need to hunt for food. When man was starving, he
  had to find food. He needed his brain to
  function, he needed his red blood cells he
  needed everything to keep firing to allow him to
  be sharp and focused as he went on the hunt.
• While in that state of hunger, the hunter found
  his energy levels were higher, his emotions were
  well- controlled, he was laser focused, his body
  was cleansing and repairing itself, and he was
  more agile than ever as he awaited the only real
  man versus food challenge that ever existed in
  the history of mankind.

The Drive of the Hunter Cont.

• Early man ran at optimal efficiency precisely
  because he was hungry, not in spite of it.
  Everything in his body was heightened for the
  hunt. Starvation became a force that propelled
  early man to a higher plane. As a society
  saturated with food, we see hunger as something
  very negative that must be satiated immediately.
• A fasting state can provide the same positive
  results that it did for the early hunters. It
  allows the body to cleanse itself, repair organ
  systems, and it heightens the body and all its
  senses. While we must not perpetually starve
  ourselves, we can begin to consider that an
  occasional fast along with consistently reduced
  eating habits can greatly improve the quality of
  our health and lives.

Make a Better Choice Today

• As you move forward in your life, make a choice
  today to consider mindful eating. Eat only when
  hungry. When hungry, eat until you are only 80
  full. Eat energy-sustaining food that your body
  can easily metabolize, such as yogurt, berries,
  peanut butter, lean meats, whole grains, leafy
  green vegetables and nuts. Be conscious of how
  you feel when you eat, and avoid foods that weigh
  you down and make you feel sluggish. Give your
  body high octane fuel and youll run as lean and
  efficiently as the fastest race car out there.
