Eventually , this method falls apart , which leads to a “ bugger-it-all ” binge and despite all your hard work , you gain the weight back .
Paying attention to quality , combination and portion size is far more successful . You can improve the quality of food you eat by checking the labels and limiting chemicals , rather than calories . The more ingredients listed on the label , the greater the number of chemicals . A second way to improve the quality of food is to choose organic and GMO-free wherever possible .
In terms of combination , ensure you include protein , healthy fats and fibre in every meal you eat . Finally , watch your portion size . Eat until you are 70 % full .
How do I know if I have successfully cracked “ habit change ”?
When you change your belief that health is “ something you do ” and that the only way to achieve the results you want is through discipline , willpower , and promises of punishment / reward . When you believe instead that health is “ who you are ”, and it feels amazing !
