Changing your eating your habits can be challenging for most, especially if you love to eat. Reduce your intake gradually and give up one thing at a time to make the transition easier.
A friend of mind was having difficulty giving up soft drinks. I suggested she reduce her soda intake by one every day until she was no longer consuming large amounts of her favorite soft drink every day. Small steps can help you achieve your goal and ensure your success.
During your transition do not put yourself in situations where you know there will be an abundant choices of food and drink. I stopped going to brunch until I was sure I was strong enough to stay on my program.
Making thoughtful decisions regarding your food and drink choices is essential when you decide you are going to make healthy diet choices. No longer can you make hasty decisions about your diet if you want to ensure your success.
This is the beginning of summer, and fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful, unless you are a diabetic then the choices have to be deliberate to ensure you remain healthy.
Bon Appetit!
