Article Reflection Trigger Foods

     Hello everyone, Today I read an article about trigger foods. Davey Wavey explained Trigger Foods in his article entitled How to Overcome Trigger Food? He first explains whats a trigger food is, then goes on how to avoid or handle the problem that they produce for us. I found this helpful and could relate to his article.
    A trigger food is a food that psychologically makes you loose self control when eating, and can then lead on for you to start binge eating. So like you see the box of cookies over on the counter and your on a diet and you think "Hey I've been pretty good I'll just have one?" Then the next thing you know your eating the whole box in front of your tv watching My Best Friends Wedding singing "Say a Little Prayer" That my friends in a nutshell is the basics of a trigger food.
     Now our friends Davey broke down dealing with trigger food in two way the first of which is "Moderation" Eat the food in low portion evenly spaced from each other that way if you do so desire to have a cookie you won't find yourself weeping over why your not as successful as Julia Robert with a mouthful of triple chocolate chunk. Now the other way of going about this may be a bit more difficult which is "Cold Turkey" No snacks EVER don't break down don't eat the food just cut  it out completely the only problem with this method is if you do find yourself loosing self control you will start the binge and start all over.
     I think the best thing to do is just maybe cut it out for a small amount of time so when you switch into moderation you won't find yourself going off the deep end.
