You’ve decided you need to lose weight but you hate dieting.  Let’s try something different. 

We eat how we eat out of habit.  These may be habits we picked up growing up or habits we fall into as adults because of time constraints.  When we would come home from school, mom had cookies and milk waiting.  Just a couple, you don’t want to ruin your appetite.  Here is where one of the top dieting mistakes began.

Finish your dinner or you won’t get dessert.  The snack before bed was usually cake.  Is any of this sounding familiar to you? 

The only way we would eat the vegetables was if they were drowned in butter.  That’s what she had to do to get us to eat the healthy foods.  Sour cream was the topping of choice for our steaks.  The number one rule for fruit was salt.

All Grown Up

Now as an adult, what’s the first thing you do when you come home?  Without even thinking you grab the pizza in the fridge from last night.  There’s nothing wrong with pizza in moderation.  Don’t kid yourself that that’s all you’re going to eat.

If you write down everything you eat in a day, you’ll see what you’re eating out of habit.  I’m sure you can see what can be eliminated.

What Now?

What else can we look at.  You probably have to drink more water.  You’d much rather have that high calorie drink.  How about those coffee drinks in the morning that are loaded with calories?  You’re convinced you need those to get going each day.  Let’s change this today.

What else are we doing wrong?  We’re not exercising.  Since I was athletic when I was younger, how I ate was no big deal.  I got less active the older I got.

When I moved out of my childhood home, I kept my childhood eating habits.  I’m sure most of us are that way.  It makes no difference why.  Now that we’ve recognized it, we can change it.

Here’s the diet plan that worked for me.  Lots of different diets can work.  The main reasons for failing is because they restrict what we eat.  This plan helps us to change the way we eat.
