One of the best pieces of advice, regarding eating and health, I’ve ever come across is “earn your hunger.” That is, wait until you are genuinely hungry before eating. To earn your hunger is to engender cravings for the precise nutrition, of course from the precise food, your body needs.

Of course, I’ve not always followed that advice, but, I won’t employ self-deprecating humor now.

However, when you resolve yourself not to eat breads and sugars – for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has researched health even a little – following this advice is easier.

Sugars and breads are meant to titillate the tummy. They induce you to eat before you’re genuinely hungry, before your body creates genuine cravings for that precise nutrition. Thus, you eat more than you should, and, of course, you are also disposing your body all the more to crave glucose, which, I believe, is great and terrible cause of obesity in America nowadays.

In the mornings, before I break my fast – before breakfast – I am all the more motivated to resist eating if I resolve that the first thing I am to eat is fruit or meat or some other natural food. An apple or egg or avocado doesn’t get Mr. Tummy as excited as toast or granola or especially pastries. I am more motivated to stave off eating longer, and as a natural fatty, I don’t think I can fast enough to receive its many health benefits.

Processed foods, like bread and sugar, make you want to eat sooner. They make you want to eat more. This result is more garbage in your body.

So, try it yourself. Try not to eat so much bread and sugar. Try to make the first thing you eat something else. See if you can go longer without eating.
