Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   You like to eat.

•   Maybe you think about food a lot.

•   If you're hungry you think about what tastes good.

•   You order food from a menu imagining how it will taste.

•   Thinking and imagining are forms of self-suggestion.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   This unit helps you use self-suggestion to begin thinking about healthy choices
    for breakfast, (or brunch), lunch, and mid-morning snacks.

•   If you think about food you like, and imagine how it might taste, you'll probably
    order it, buy it, or cook it.

•   People act on self-suggestion.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   Maybe you have to have doughnuts or sweet muffins with coffee in the
    morning.

•   Baked goods are yummy.

•   That's because they're made with sugar, starch, and butter.

•   But the more you eat, the more you want.

•   Sweets are addicting and fattening.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   Growing up, many people ate high cholesterol, high calorie, breakfasts and
    lunches.

•   Breakfast was fried eggs with bacon, ham, or sausage with fried potatoes,
    waffles or pancakes with lots of syrup.

•   People put cream in their coffee.

•   They ate hot sandwiches with gravy, meat hoagies, fries, and cheeseburgers
    for lunch.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   Times change. Your body changes. You change.

•   Medical research has shown that saturated fats clog the heart's arteries.

•   Too much sugar and too many carbs increase the risk of Type II diabetes.

•   Knees and backs begin to complain when you get heavy.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   Using self-suggestion makes change possible.

•   The solution is to begin thinking about healthy, yummy foods.

•   You can have a plan of action.

•   You can begin to suggest to yourself what to buy, cook, or order in a restaurant
    that you like that's healthy.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   You are lucky because you have a brain.

•   You have an inner mind that can plan ahead.

•   You can rehearse tasty choices.

•   You might begin by imagining tasty foods that you enjoy that also are good for
    you.

•   You may be surprised by how many healthy foods you like.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   When you create imaginary menus for breakfast, midmorning snack, and
    lunch, you are beginning the practice of self-suggestion

•   You strengthen self-suggestions by imagining acting on your choices.

•   Eventually, you find you can link self-suggestions to action in real time.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   Now, suggestions for losing weight are everywhere.

•   Your doctor wants you to diet.

•   Talk shows warn of the risks of being overweight.

•   Magazines publicize routines for losing weight quickly.

•   Yet real change is hard.

•   Real change is easy to postpone.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   In this unit you begin to listen to and create your own suggestions for breakfast
    or brunch, mid morning snacks, and lunch.

•   You can easily begin to imagine eating what you like that's healthy for
    breakfast (or brunch), a morning pick-up treat, and for a tasty lunch.
Menu Planning: Breakfast & Lunch


•   You can use self-suggestion to imagine a menu of healthy foods that appeal to
    you.

•   You can explore what it's like to develop your unique suggestions for healthful
    eating.

•   Press the audio arrow on the next slide to continue with this first exercise in
    menu planning.
