The solution is easy - stop looking for an easy solution. Done - That's it. Sound simple but it's true. If you're reading this you're probably tried various diet "solutions". Atkins, HFLC , Paleo, clean eating and other options including random cleanses and detoxes. Sorry for misleading you with a really catchy and tempting title but I needed your attention. The good news is that it doesn't have to be hard or difficult to lose weight or get to a weight or size where you feel happy and healthy. But it will require a shift in your mindset. Starting now(including reading this) you should see yourself as being on a health journey. You are on an almighty quest to figure out how you work and what works for you. Before you might have tried some diets that worked well albeit temporarily and other things that just felt like a complete waste of time(and maybe money). That's great! "why" you ask? 'cause by doing those things you found out things about yourself and how your body works. From now on there's no failures only information - information that will get you where you want to be. For starters you need to look at this journey as something permanent. Once you hit all your target and achieved all you dreamed of, the journey doesn't end, you just adjust your goals and journey on...... So how do you do it? By changing your daily habits and how you relate to food.
By practicing every day. By daily practice of healthy habits, food related skills and by practicing to be in tune with your body you will gradually change your habits and skills. Habits that seems really difficult now will become second nature. One of the fundamental and really important habits is to learn to eat slowly. If you eat too fast you can easily over-eat before your stomach signals to your brain "I've already had more than i need". By gradually building on your habits and adding more skills around food you'll find yourself on a sustainable journey of change.
