6 Tips On How To Eat What You Must, Not What You Want
4. Keep a day when you allow yourself to eat the foods that you shouldn’t
Keeping a very tight control on yourself regarding the food you shouldn’t eat is a good thing, but going overboard with it can de-motivate you. It may actually increase your temptation of sneakily eating your favorite foods that are restricted. Unless you have a medical condition in which you are absolutely not allowed to eat beyond the foods prescribed to you, think about keeping a day when you allow yourself to eat your favorite foods without feeling guilty about it.
5. Plate up your food nicely
Sometimes you may have to go back to being a child, coaxing yourself to do things that you don’t really like. This includes eating the foods that you should, not what you want. Make yourself feel good about the foods you should eat by presenting it nicely as if it has come out straight from a restaurant. A good looking plate will rumble your appetite.
6. Reward yourself on achieving milestones
You should reward every effort you put into compulsorily eating foods that you should instead of the foods that you want. Go out shopping, watch a movie or do your favorite thing to give yourself a pat on the back every now and then. These treats will motivate you to stay true to your diet plan and become healthier.
