Food for thought.
To be successful on any diet you have to see it less as a diet and more as a way of life. Eating low carb is really not hard when you get used to it. Here are few pointers to help you as you go about changing your way of eating.
- Why am I doing this? Knowing your why is very helpful. When you are at a crossroads or just get sick of trying so hard remember you why. Do you want to be in better health? Have more energy? Look great for an upcoming event? It doesn’t matter what the “why” is as long as it matters to you.
- Pay attention to how you feel with this way of eating. Do you have more energy? How does your digestion feel? Is it effecting your sleep? You might find that you feel so much better with less carbs in your diet and have more energy. Or maybe you skin is clearer you have less bloating. Give it a chance to start noticing the little things.
- Be patient with yourself. If you fall off the wagon, just get right back on. Don’t say “I’ve ruined today so I might as well binge and start over tomorrow.” That will never help you be successful. If you fall off the wagon figure out why and plan a strategy for the next time you come upon that obstacle.
- Try new things. Be it new healthy foods, or exercise or even a new hobby. These are things in life that will help you grow as a person. Take a chance and you might be surprised how it will change your life.
