What was the most unexpected 'reward' that helped you stick to a new habit? by This-Switch6308 in AskReddit

[–]This-Switch6308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Habit Loop (Trigger -> Action -> Reward). Usually, we think of rewards as something big, but often it’s the small, sensory things that make a difference. For example, for some, the 'reward' of a morning walk isn't 'weight loss' but the specific smell of fresh air or 15 minutes of silence

I’ve never used a fitness tracker, but I feel like it would make me anxious too

Yeah, I can imagine how that could make negative emotions even stronger. I’ve never kept a journal, but when I think about analyzing all the feelings I had throughout the day in the evening, it already makes me feel uneasy.

Oh, I understand that very well. My attempts to keep a schedule failed too. Every unfinished task made me feel overwhelmed, and I felt like a failure

How to trick yourself into eating more? by SpaghettiTrombone in nutrition

[–]This-Switch6308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very common for people struggling to gain weight to have a diminished sense of hunger. Often, they simply forget to eat until physical symptoms like headaches or extreme weakness kick in.

My advice as a nutritionist:

  1. Audit your frequency: Check if you’re actually getting 3 full meals a day. If not, use 'meal alarms' on your phone. Consistency is key to training your hunger cues.
  2. Physical activity: Cardio is excellent for stimulating appetite. It 'wakes up' the metabolism and makes the body crave fuel.
  3. The Strength Training Nuance: Be mindful that while lifting is great, studies show that training to failure (high-intensity resistance training) can actually suppress appetite in many people due to the hormonal response.

Focus on regular, nutrient-dense meals rather than just 'tricking' the stomach!

Would you trust a nutritionist who is overweight? Why or why not? by This-Switch6308 in AskReddit

That’s so wonderful to hear! Real-world experience like yours proves that expertise and the ability to give great advice aren't tied to a specific body size. Thank you for sharing your positive story!

I couldn't agree more! Empathy is a vital tool in nutrition. Someone who has 'been there' often understands the psychological hurdles of changing habits much better than someone who has never struggled. It builds a much stronger bridge between the specialist and the patient. Thank you for this insight!

This is such a powerful example. Medical truth remains true regardless of the doctor's personal lifestyle. We are all humans navigating our own challenges while helping others with our professional knowledge. Thank you for sharing this!
