At last! A diet/nutrition article that talks about the 'burden of decision making' in the context of diet. One of my pet peeves is that this aspect isn't given enough weight.
worth a read whatever diet you're on or not on
I know diets are really hard. I know will power is a big issue and that I'm not weak, I'm normal. If dieting was easy there wouldn't be an obesity epidemic.
This is why I love the shake meal replacement. I have no prohibitions to make opportunities for failure and to feel bad. All I have to do is eat way less of what I normally do and have a meal shake instead. I am doing something instead of not doing something.
And it is really easy. I don't have to cook anything special, just the same , just much less. ( and I cook pretty healthy anyway, I have always added 3 x the amount of vegies to a recipe and don't often use premade dishes)
Which meal shake brand(s) are you liking?
I like the aldi one , am using the csiro one at the moment but not using milk as I really want to reduce my intake of dairy because intolerances
