Tip #7: Tricky Tactics
Pre-plan little tricks that will greatly assist you in gradually breaking old eating habits and replacing them with healthier habits:
· Only eat treats and "taboo" foods out! Do not bring these foods into your house.
· Instead of trying to change all bad food habits at once, try changing one or two habits at a time. For example, you could select only one or two changes from the list below:
1. Eat fruit only until noon and a large salad for lunch, and don’t change your dinners at first.
2. Eat meat only on the weekends or just 3x a week instead of every day.
3. Drink homemade fruit and vegetable juices instead of pop or sugary drinks.
4. Eliminate all trips to fast food restaurants.
5. Eliminate all fried foods.
6. Eliminate all white flour/white sugar products.
7. Eliminate cheese, milk, and yogurt but continue to eat small portions of meat.
8. Eliminate meat, but continue to eat cheese.
9. Eat whatever you want when you go out (no more than once a week), but eat well when you are home.
· Eat whatever you want on special occasions: Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays.
As Dr. John McDougall says, just don’t feast three times a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year like most Americans.
