Most people suffer from emotional eating. Their mind controls their eating habits and they eat too much. If this sounds familiar, then this principle will help break the worst of your habits. I call it the addition rule.

The principle behind this rule is very powerful.To get rid of a bad habit, you need to add something positive in its place to fill in what was there before. Nature abhors a vacuum and will fill up the empty space.

Adding healthy food to your diet can help you to flush body fat naturally. To understand what I mean, check this out: if you are trying to give up chocolate, then replace the chocolate with dark chocolate (a much healthier choice because dark chocolate has antioxidants in it).

After you have done this for a period of time, start adding some more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet.

There are four powerful reasons why you want to add these:

• Eating these raw, give you much needed digestive enzymes that are needed to break down your food. Processed foods do not give you this.
• Vegetables and fruits contain high amounts of fiber which grows in your stomach, causing you to fill up and feel fuller faster.
• It helps to push food through your digestive tract.
• These give your body antioxidants and trace minerals that are essential not only for weight loss, but for your body to stay healthy.

The second part of the rule is to “eat my fiber first.”

Eating fiber first (salad) clears your digestive tract and prepares it for your meal.

When eaten with other food, fresh fruits and vegetables literally clear a place for the rest of your food and detoxifies your large intestine. This in itself will help you lose fat naturally.

For instance, when you eat pasta, make sure that you eat your salad (minus all the heavy dressing) before you eat anything else. If you choose to have a sundae, make sure that you top it with lots of fresh berries.

Adding the fruits and veggies fills you up faster and you won’t eat as much. Plus, you will be getting a good dose of anti-oxidants!

Go ahead and start this immediately. It’s not unusual for people to lose 5-10 pounds off of just this little tip!
