Diet Plans And Menus - The Apfeldorfer Diet

Diet Plans And Menus - The Apfeldorfer Diet: The Apfeldorfer Diet comes from Gérard Apfeldorfer, a psychiatrist specializing in eating disorders. This diet is directed at overeaters, especially those suffering from bulimia. Unlike many other diets, this one is life long. The first step in this diet is asking yourself fundamental questions such as: why am I dieting? This diet requires you to keep a log of what you eat. Among the information to be noted are what and how much you eat, and also with whom you consumed the meal or snack. And perhaps most importantly, you have to note the emotions associated with each meal.

Instead of totally avoiding those special foods that you’re just dying to eat enjoy them, perhaps in very small quantities, especially if they are calorie rich. The trick is to take those forbidden foods, cut them into unequal portions, throw out the larger portion and eat the rest. Another major principle of the Apfeldorfer Diet is listening to your body’s hunger signals. Only eat when you are hungry. Spend twenty to thirty minutes a day pampering yourself, maybe a massage. Other principles include not letting others get you down and practicing a sport that you like.

An extended review of the Apfeldorfer Diet and two Apfeldorfer Diet Meal Plans appear on my website.
