Managing cravings
Taking the right steps when you fall off the wagon
No one should be expected to sustain an eating plan with zero fulfilling or enjoyable foods, and that includes you. This chapter talks about how to develop new habits and new ways of dealing with food without trying to remain on an unsustainable, restrictive “diet” (I hate that word!). I help you find your new normal, that all-important mind-set that guarantees you’ll never again feel like you’re on a diet.
Habits can be hard to change, and you won’t always be perfect. If you’re depressed or stressed, you may find yourself craving sugar or falling back into other unhealthy habits.
