3 Shifts to Let Go of Dieting for Good and Create Consistent Eating Habits
Are you looking to stop dieting and reclaim balance with the way you nourish yourself?
Instead of working against your body, you need to start working with it.
In order to do that, you also have to shift the way you build your eating habits so they best support you for the long term. We’re not looking for a 10-day or 30-day fix here, we’re looking for a long-term, sustainable and maintainable change.
So let’s dive into how exactly you can start making that change.
1. Focus on Long-term Change Instead of Short-term Results –
You have to be willing to let go of thinking about achieving an unrealistic result in a specific amount of time. Instead, your goal needs to be focused on the long term.
Focusing on the long term involves forming habits that are supportive and sustainable. If they’re supportive and sustainable, they work for you on a daily basis.
2. Allow for Flexibility Rather Than Trying to Eat “Perfectly” –
It can seem counterintuitive, but the best way to create more consistency with the way you nourish yourself is to have more flexibility. This allows you to enjoy all the foods you like in a mindful, intentional way, rather than being restrictive.
3. Tune Into Your Own Body Rather Than Following Food Rules –
It becomes so much easier for you to make food choices that support you because you’re confident in why something does or does not work for you, rather than feeling like you need to follow specific food rules because a diet, plan, or influencer told you to.
These three shifts are key to creating a long-lasting, supportive, and balanced way of nourishing yourself. By reshaping how you think about food and the role nutrition plays in your life, you’re able to take your life back into your own hands for good!
