Change your lifestyle diet
This should take about 3 to 4 months. Changing a decade of behaviors and cravings doesn't happen overnight. Start slow and don't punish yourself for slip ups. They are bound to happen. Just do better with the next meal.
āØStart by downloading pdf recipe books about your chosen diet. Read them, write down what sounds good and look up pictures of what it's supposed to look like. Hype yourself up about these recipes.
āØTry at least three new recipes per week. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Allow these recipes to replace whatever meal you were gonna have before to see if they satisfy you and make you full.
āØOnce you have 10-15 recipes for each meal time spend 1 day eating these meals. Then 2 days. Then 4 days. Then a week. Then 2 weeks. Then a full month. In between these intervals you can have a 'cheat day' of going back to eating the way you did before.
š Always have 3-5 meals already ready to be eaten in the fridge so if you're ever ravenously hungry you won't reach for junk food.
š Don't make up a bunch of random secret rules. No major calorie deficits. Remember this is not a diet to lose weight, it's a whole new lifestyle that will allow you to be healthier.
š Don't pile on different life changes at all once. You'll get frustrated, forget or give up entirely.
š Take note of what you crave, at what times, where you were, and what you were doing. This will help you to find alternatives that will satisfy any cravings you have.
š If one type of diet doesn't work for 2 weeks of eating switch to another. By the time your at 2 full weeks you should know the difference between hunger and cravings.
