Would you like to improve the way you eat? If you tried several diets already with no success and feel like you lack willpower, I have good news for you. There\u2019s another way that might work much better for you. It is based on making small sustainable changes. Let\u2019s check it out.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re reading an article with the words \u201cstep by step\u201d in the title, chances are you\u2019re a moderator when it comes to dealing with changes. Moderators, as opposed to abstainers, have no problem with small steps and having even \u201cforbidden\u201d foods in moderation without the risk of binging. As a moderator, you\u2019re more likely to succeed if you avoid strict meal plans and build your own menu through small steps.<\/p>\n

Why Meal Plans Suck and What to Do Instead<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n

Transform you meals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Start with how you already eat and make one change at a time. Choose one meal and improve it; but only as much as you\u2019re willing to stick with long term. Your moderation approach will get you long-lasting results. Check out how you can transform a dinner.<\/p>\n

Dinner level 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You come home super hungry and exhausted from work. There\u2019s nothing in the fridge.
\nYou order a pizza and finish yourself with ice cream.
\nYou have several beers and shots to take the edge off after a stressful day.<\/p>\n

Dinner level 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You buy a piece of roasted chicken on your way home.
\nYou boil some pasta at home and have your dinner in front of a TV.
\nYou finish your evening with 2 glasses of wine to take your mind off work.<\/p>\n

Dinner level 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You still bring home a piece of ready to eat roasted chicken but this time with some pre-washed greens and tomatoes too.
\nYou rotate prepping potatoes, rice, and pasta as a side to your little salad and chicken.
\nYou now eat at the dinner table and only have a single glass of wine.<\/p>\n

Dinner level 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You shop ahead and always have some tasty home-made leftovers or fresh meat and veggies in the fridge ready to be cooked.
\nYou are trying to choose seasonal ingredients and have a rich salad with almost every dinner.
\nYou don\u2019t feel the need for alcohol every day but sometimes you enjoy a glass of good wine.
\nKeep in mind that even if you\u2019re starting at level one, it\u2019s not \u201cbad\u201d, it\u2019s just something that\u2019s no longer working for you and you want to improve. It doesn\u2019t really matter how high you climb, as long as you make one successful long-term improvement, you won. Next time, we will take a look at snacks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
