We all start our diets with good intentions, sometimes daily. We get up in the morning promising to do better, eat more vegetables and fruit, lean sources of protein, not to much bread. Our new promises work great for a while until we walk past a bakery or a pizzeria, some how those promises we made to ourselves get broken and we end up hating ourselves.
Why do we give in so easily, news flash, because it tastes good, duh! The more we enjoy something the more we want it, it makes us feel good and satisfied. There is a trick in this equation. As humans, we are hard wired to crave a lot of high calorie food to prevent starvation from a potential food famine.
Here is the solution, taste is a huge factor in our food choices, we love rich and creamy high taste food. The trick is to create a diet that is enjoyable by tricking your taste buds. Your brain cannot differentiate whether a food is creamy and high in fat or creamy and low in fat like low-fat yogurt
Be creative, experiment with different spices and ingredients, Its important to get away from the same old diet foods Literally, you must spice up your life or you will get bored and lose your motivation..
The key is to never feel deprived!
