don't give up your favorite foods to lose weight

Don't give up your favorite foods in order to lose weight. That is one of the biggest mistakes that people make. Instead you want to make your favorite food the central part of your weight loss strategy, meaning you're going to continue eating those foods. Now you're going to eat less of them than you have been but you're going to make it the central part of your plan because you're going to make a deal with yourself that I can continue to eat my favorite food but I'm going to give up some of these other foods. And if you approach it this way you're going to find it feels a lot more comfortable because you don't feel that deprivation, don't feel that frustration that you can't enjoy your favorite foods. You still can but what you're doing is you're going to use that as leverage so that you start eating less of the other foods and if you start approaching things this way it feels a lot better.
