Willpower Is Supported By Knowledge

12. Willpower Is Supported By Knowledge

Willpower is not the only weapon in the fight to break the habit of overeating. Knowledge is a much more potent tool.

The individual must realize and acknowledge that overeating is a habit that has him or her in its grip. If one is eating denatured foods, which do not completely nourish the body, such foods may not satisfy hunger unless eaten in large quantities. Spices, condiments and cooked foods also result in stimulation of appetite and overeating.

If the change to a good selection of foods has been made, but a great variety of foods are being used at a meal, this also leads to overstimulation of taste and appetite—and overeating.
