It's certainly not always wrong, to satisfy his craving for seemingly empty calories. Maybe it's a momentary dissatisfaction, a mental low or something similar, what causes this craving – in this case, eating chocolate or similar sweets is certainly not going to knock us down too much, and the fat metabolism is not disturbed too much.
Then it becomes difficult, when we have significantly more desire for such foods than is good for our body. Finally, the need for security, which underlies the intake of chocolate, are satisfied by it - but it does not change the situation.
When we are unhappy, because we feel unloved or because we are doing a job, that doesn't satisfy us, we can't just go on like this and eat chocolate to compensate.
With all due respect to holistic nutrition, including the emotional needs of a person, this is certainly not the right way.
A person's goal, who notices, that he has a problem with his empty calorie budget, must be, to change his situation. Maybe the social contacts are missing, the challenge or whatever, which conveys a natural feeling of happiness. From time to time you can draw your satisfaction from a bar of chocolate - but it must not be the main basis of our emotional well-being, if we don't want to create fundamental malnutrition.
The second important factor, that makes people happy, is sufficient social contact. Our body acknowledges loneliness with a feeling of insecurity, with sadness and possibly even with depression. Therefore it is an important method, to go among people, if you want to take care of it, that you feel better in the long run.
Once again, this need can of course be explained. Man is a social creature, which would hardly be able to do alone, to fight for one's life - it is not for nothing that all primitive cultures are organized into clans or families, who help each other with the tasks that arise.
Never before in the history of mankind has one been able to practically live one's life alone as well as today. We can do a job, which we may even do alone, we can shop alone, watch tv alone, fall asleep alone. There is no objective need for extensive contact with other people.
But that doesn't change anything about human nature - we're just not made for it, to be alone, and even if loneliness can be addictive, we should not indulge in it excessively.
The same applies here: Phases of solitude can be important and good, but it should not prevail. When we notice, that we are no longer alone, because we wish it, but because we do not know, how we can change it, then it's time for a change.
A third and very important factor for a holistic change in diet is personal self-realization. A lot of people didn't really know at all times, who they are and what they wanted to do with their lives.
Objective necessities led to this, that they were learning a particular profession, that they practiced it, and that in the end they still didn't know, why they were here.
the experience, align his life according to his personal preferences and desires, is called self-actualization today.
There's certainly nothing wrong with that, to do many things differently than other people - if we are happy with it. Ironically, it's the social contact, which restricts our self-realization in many respects, just as little as most people want to admit. We are naturally geared towards social contact and we are controlled and let ourselves be controlled by dealing with other people.
But social systems – like any other system – need a certain security. If we don't have social norms, which would limit us to some extent, would know in our lifetime, so we would certainly be able to in certain situations, killing our neighbor, because he once again blocked the driveway for us. From an emotional point of view, such a "slip" is certainly not beyond human possibility - only socially, of course, it is obstructed in the vast majority of cases. We finally learned, that you have to respect life, just like that, as we have internalized a number of other norms, that we consider important today (but what we didn't always do - just remember your childhood).
The social control of the members of a society is essential for the existence of a society. At the same time, this social control also leads to, that we care, when a person deviates significantly from the norm, and that our fellow human beings are concerned, when we do this. You've wondered before, why some people are so outlandishly conservative and narrow-minded? That's not stupid, but a human need for security, that drives these people. They would prefer it, if they knew exactly about all people, that they do not deviate from the norm.
Now you surely understand, why our need for social contact may be diametrically opposed to the need for self-realization.
