At first eating what you want without getting fat seems impossible, and from your current perspective this might not even be plausible. But if you listen to the signals your body gives you, cutting through all the chemicals and toxins in our modern diet, you’ll hear the intelligence there. What I’m talking about is an innate fitness intelligence that dwells within each one of us. You need to listen to how your body reacts and the signals it sends you. You need to adjust your behavior based on those signals.
But what does that have to do with eating whatever you want and not getting fat? First of all if you lead a very active lifestyle and you eat healthy, your body will have a greater buffer zone against weight gain. There are many reasons why this is, including greater muscle density, better insulin tolerance, and more fiber in your diet.
This still doesn’t leave us with the answer to our question. It’s actually pretty simple. If you train yourself, through habits of a healthy lifestyle, to eat healthy foods, and you listen closely to the signals your body sends, you won’t WANT to eat unhealthy foods that often. And when the urge does strike you, you’ll find that your body doesn’t react by piling on the pounds. But it may send signals, such as indigestion, that tell you it’s not happy with your food choice.
By continually listening to your body, you’ll soon learn what it needs. You’ll soon desire what it desires. And then you’ll want to eat healthier foods more often than not. At that point you’ll be eating what you want and you won’t be getting fat.
