Rule 2 - Eat What You Want at Diet Trials : Paul McKenna

Rule 2 - Eat What You Want

Published by Diet Trials January 18th, 2006 in Golden Rules, Week 2

This is a concept that I haven’t come across when it comes to being on a diet. Normally we are all used to cutting out certain foods that don’t fit in with the diet. But as Paul McKenna explains, if you forbid a food then this just makes you want it even more. So when you are given the opportunity to eat what you want I initially thought that this would be great.

I’m not sure that this is because I am eating consciously and really enjoying the taste of my food, but I find it really hard to work out what I really want to eat. Before starting the Paul McKenna diet I used to eat pretty much anything. Now I fancy certian foods, like yesterday I really could have eated a Hard Rock Cafe Pulled Pork sandwich and fries… but the nearest Hard Rock is about 30 miles away.

I have gone off foods that I would normally love such as currys and pizzas. It just takes me longer mulling around the supermarket trying to tempt myself into buying food that I want to eat. I have though been able to stay well away from chocolate as I don’t really want to eat that anymore either. Very strange??
