Important link between hunger and taste

French - recognized worldwide gourmets who can enjoy a meal. Not surprisingly, in front of her, they wish each other "bon appetit" - not delicious food, namely appetite. And what is your appetite? Yes, just what you are hungry!

I try to explain that it is impossible to enjoy the taste of food, if you are not hungry. You find it hard to agree with me? Many are convinced that the food or tasty or not. But let's check. What is your favorite dish? Try to eat not one, but many servings of food that you particularly like. You will not only be bad, but oprotiveet his taste!

In fact, there is no need to experiment on himself. You've seen the movie "Cool Hand Luke," in which Paul Newman have to eat a lot of hard-boiled eggs? Since I do not eat hard-boiled eggs. And if you still need an example from my own experience, remember the case when you felt bad because you have abused some food.

If you, like me, love curry, you know what he appetizing smell and taste amazing when hungry. But if you overdo it, eat more curry than it should, the same smell after a few minutes will infuriate and then will seem disgusting. Especially in the restaurant if you sit close to the kitchen and past your table and then sneaked a curry dish with other visitors.

I once ate in bed half bought take-out Chinese dinner and went to sleep, and when I woke again caught the same smell from the half uneaten lunch.

After that I could not even look at a variety of Chinese cuisine.

Food tastes good when you're hungry. If you had to starve for a long time, delicious seem even a rat. You in this hard to believe, but anyone who happened to die of starvation, will confirm my words. Sometimes people even go down to cannibalism. Fortunately, in Western society, we do not have to empirically verify the truth or not. But a lot of hungry people in the world of people who consider themselves happy when they are able to catch the rat.

This is illustrated in the film "The Moth". In the first bowl of soup, which the hero Steve McQueen gets in prison on Devil's Island, he finds a live cockroach. He disgustedly throws food. And we're in his place would have done the same.

Each case at least once in life to find food in a completely foreign object. Three months later, Steve McQueen himself catches cockroaches have to eat them. It is hard to imagine that a person could fall so. And there is no need - simply rely on the opinion of witnesses.

Remember: the true pleasure of eating - to stave off hunger. Therefore, the sixth recommendation reads as follows:

Do not eat when you're not hungry

The food is tasty and smells good, but if you're hungry!

I have no doubt that many of you there are objections. Some would say that pleasure can deliver, and the ritual of eating. What could be better than to dine in the cozy room with the appropriate atmosphere and friendly company? I agree with you: the process of eating can leave the most different memories.

But this does not mean that you have enjoyed eating it. I myself am one of those people who, if given the choice, will prefer a good company, even with the bad food. The absorption of food in the circle of friends - my favorite pastime, but if I want to experience the true pleasure of eating, I eat at home.

Since brainwashing totally confused us, and we do not know for what reason we eat, we are trying to empty the dish at every meal. If you are faithful to the principle of "eat when hungry and stop eating when satisfy his hunger", then you'll not only enjoy every dish, but also solve the problem of excess weight.

I emphasize once to satisfy hunger, to stop eating, and not to indulge in gluttony. At the same time you feel left out? Think about it. Is this limitation? Why do we have, if not hungry? Try to understand:

The absorption of food - fun, overeating - a crime

At this point we must pause to wait an explosion of protests. Maybe I'm one of those hypocrites who seek to deprive all around the last pleasures in life? Or, hinting that the only benefit of eating - satisfaction of hunger and a snack - all the same what to get rid of the pain in his legs, throwing tight shoes?

All right, but there is no need to get depressed. We are waiting for good news. In fact, the whole book - the good news. Or have you forgotten my formula?

Wearing tight shoes are definitely unpleasant, but our Creator has created hunger so that we do not just aim to get rid of it, and feel a genuine pleasure to satisfy your hunger several times a day throughout their lives.

And what's wrong with that? These facts convince me, the one who created us, wanted us to enjoy life, and if we do not succeed, blame only ourselves.

The relationship between the taste and hunger has a significant impact on our eating habits. Like so much else, this relationship - a double edged sword. All living creatures, including humans, have a favorite food, which we do not refuse, as long as it is available.

Perhaps it is time to dispel another concern associated with a change in eating habits - fear that you will not be able to use one of the undeniable advantages of modern civilization -

As wild animals distinguish edible and poisonous?

As I said, wild animals instinctively distinguish the writing from the poison. And you wonder how they do it? We easily, we're intelligent beings. We're now to write in our children do not fall inedible substances, and if we are still cautious, then carefully remove all poison away from children.

We are taught to distinguish edible from inedible. But how to distinguish wild animals?

For a moment, put yourself in the place of Mother Nature. You have created an infinite variety of species. As you made sure that they are not poisoned, and not become extinct? Each of them has its own digestive system for digestion of a particular food. How to make sure that these animals are eating food that is intended for them?

One way - give their senses. You can give them a vision: This item looks like food. You can give a sense of touch: This item looks like the food, but feels like a stone. You can give a sense of smell and taste. If the subject of bad smells and tastes terrible, it's poison. And if it smells nice and tasty - meal. If the smell and taste I particularly like, so this meal created especially for me.

Do you feel such a reasonable approach? Of course, it's obvious! But why is the principle of the two poles reiterates yourself? Why would the Creator created everything that is bad for us, cigarettes, alcohol, juicy steaks, whipped cream, exotic sweets - such a pleasant and attractive in appearance? Why did not tasty useful and harmful - nasty? I have news for you: That's what he did!


Only under the influence of other people, and as a result of brainwashing, we believe that deliver pleasure in poisoning himself with nicotine, alcohol and useless food.

The truth is as follows:

The most useful food - one that is especially tasty

Remember, this is the only purpose of taste. That's wild animals to distinguish between edible and inedible. Is it possible to invent a more brilliant and simple guide to action?

Have you ever seen a cat sniffs for food first, then gently touching her nose, trying a tiny piece and finally offered or eating lunch or turns and walks away, with his nose, as if she filed a pure poison? This cat's tail raised high - so it gives us to understand what the opinion of the proposed food.

Previously, such ingratitude 'infuriated me. In the end, I did not start this cat. She was wandering once came to our house and decided to live in it until the light upon something better. Did not she realize that I buy her the best, most expensive cat food that manufacturers of animal feed and I'm much smarter than her, and know better what is good for cats, and what is not?

How foolish I was! So, he believed, like cat food manufacturers, and I myself, better understanding of the preferences of my cat. As well man, no matter how skilled and experienced, can advise a woman the most comfortable, the best position for birth.

In essence, the Creator invented system is so ingenious that bags of food do not need to set the expiration date. Since rot, natural food look unappetizing, unpleasant to the touch, it smells awful and has the same taste. A classic example - the rotten apple.

I'm not smart enough to understand how the Creator cope with minor faults of this system. Frankly, I'm not smart, if I took fifty years of life before I came to the core of the problem and its solution emerged. As wild animals to distinguish between edible and inedible? If my smug, trained and educated mind is not prevented me to ask this question, the answer would have been infinitely simple and obvious:

In the food taste and smell. We poison the taste and smell unpleasant!

Flavor - the main indicator of the correctness of our choice. The smell is inextricably linked with taste. Any good cook knows that the appearance and texture are just as important. If an overripe banana, it still smells good and is delicious, but the impression spoils raskisshaya, disgusting to touch the flesh. In the same formula fits even fifth sense - hearing.

I like the hiss of roasted bacon. A delicious smell I like even more. But bacon tastes too salty and looks unappetizing because either floats in fat or fried to a crispy crust. Indeed, bacon regularly gives me indigestion.

To be acceptable, the food does not necessarily have to like us in all respects. But if there is something in it you do not like an active - beware. Especially beware of such substances, which smell good, but the taste is poor - for example, tobacco and coffee.

Typically, this is a sign of addictive substances and contains many harmful components. Although the smell and taste are inextricably linked, we should not assume that the taste must match the smell, and vice versa. Try to taste their favorite perfume! .. No, better not.

The manufacturer's instructions telling us what gasoline should be poured into the tank of the car, and our senses tell what kind of food you can eat - with the proviso that they operate properly. Probably the most important of the senses - the sixth. No matter how you call it, intuition or instinct.

It is used when logic comes to the same conclusion, and contrary to his instincts. Do not forget that instinct - the result of logical constructions, which lasted more than three billion years, and that wild animals such problems do not arise, because they have no logic, and they rely solely on instinct. What could be more logical?

In contrast, the method indicates that the logic and instincts exist in harmony and thereby save us from schizophrenia, a mental eternal companion problem of excess weight.

Disappear uncertainty, doubt and confusion - because you already knew: there is food designed specifically for you to stay fit and healthy, and the food tastes particularly good to you. You no longer have to suffer from mental dualism and addiction to the food that is bad for you.


At this stage of the conversation, I do not expect that you will understand why the most pleasant-tasting food is the most useful for you. But if delight the taste of tobacco - a subtle illusion, the same is true for the belief that unhealthy food can be delicious.

Before you start running, you have to learn to walk, and in our case it is necessary to understand in more detail the principles of the user manual. In due time I will explain how to create the illusion and how to get rid of her. In the meantime, please accept the idea that the most useful to you those products that have a particularly good taste and smell.



That is the instruction of Mother Nature, it is thanks to him that in wild animals there is no such problem with the food, as we do.

We have not yet found the food most suitable for human beings, but determined by what principles should choose her. Yet
