Rethink Your Plate
The conventional idea of going "on a diet" often sets us up for failure. Restrictive eating plans can be difficult to maintain, leading to feelings of deprivation
and eventually, the urge to overeat. Instead, consider shifting your focus away from the short-term gains of a diet and towards modifying your regular eating habits. This can involve making mindful choices about the food you put on your plate every day, rather than adhering to rigid rules. This approach encourages building habits that you can maintain over time. This includes, but isn't limited to, considering portion sizes, choosing nutrient-dense foods, and being mindful of your body's hunger and fullness cues. It's about establishing a relationship with food that's based on enjoyment and balance, instead of restriction and guilt.
