Depriving yourself is never the answer. Too often folk go on diets and other weight loss programs depriving themselves of all the food they like to eat and replacing it with “healthy” food they may not even like. This is a real recipe for failure. The likelihood of you maintaining a nutrition program filled with foods you don’t like and none of the ones you do like is a guarantee you will fail and fail in a spectacular way.
Instead of depriving yourself of all the foods you enjoy try incorporating them into your diet in reasonable and appropriate portions. Dessert after a nice healthy dinner is a great way to treat yourself. Also take the time to find healthy foods that you like. You don’t have to setle for any old food just because it’s healthy. The more you liekand enjoy what you eat the more inclined you are to stick to your new healthy way of life.
