So far I've found three truisms that sum up a healthier approach to food. They are as follows:
- Don't focus on eating less of the bad stuff. Focus on eating more of the good stuff.
- It's not about how much you eat, it's about what you eat.
- Don't think about what you're eating but shouldn't. Think about what you're already eating that you should.
Using the above, it's no longer about eating less white bread. It's about eating more whole grains and leafy greens. It's not about avoiding a soda, it's about drinking lots of water. I am not trying to eat less cake either, I'm trying to eat more fruits and berries. It's not about cutting down butter and cream, it's about eating more nuts and avocados.
I trust that if I focus on eating good food, do a bit of intermittent fasting, get exercise, and keep hydrated, my appetite will self-regulate. It works for me so far. I barely get any cravings, and when I do, I don't binge. I am losing weight at a slow controlled pace, without feeling like I'm restricting myself.
What are some ways changing your thinking has helped you?
