I want to follow up from my blog regarding fasting. Rather than try and remove food during the day to create weight loss I recommend taking small steps to lasting changes to eating behaviors. Let's first learn to hit the ball before you run to third base. Start by evaluating when you overeat. One small change for many people is to eliminate snacking at night. For someone that wants to attempt a "fast". Try fasting from 8pm to 7am. One book that helps create small changes is mini habits. Try a sample from Amazon and see if it resonates with you. If you are tempted to eat during the evening, explore why you want food. Are you truly hungry? Use the 5 second rule, I've talked about in past blogs
If you purchased a first class seat, and ordered a vegetarian meal would this satisfy you? A friend forwarded me this photo asking me what was missing from the meal. At first, I was baffled and then realized it was a bun without a veggie burger, hummous or even a piece of cheese. This stale kaiser roll with slimy cold onion and yellow squash slices obviously did not look or taste appetizing. Serving a vegetarian meal usually is best served when it isn't a meat meal minus the meat.
