Eat Less Now!

Easily eat less food

Diet: the only thing I have ever done in my life that consistently had a 100% failure rate. By the age of 30 I weighed 220 pounds and it seemed like I had gained and lost the same 20 pounds about 30 times by “dieting”.

The only thing that felt worse than being overweight was the thought of “dieting” again. That idea just disgusted me. I hated counting calories, weighing and measuring portions but most importantly I hated everyone knowing I was dieting. It’s very hard to hide when you are bringing your own “special food” rather than what everyone else is eating.

Something very magical happens when you get disgusted by something. You become open to ideas you wouldn’t have considered before. One day I decided I was just going to eat 20% less food and see what happened. I didn’t change a single thing just ate less. However, I was very meticulous about it. I cut ¼ of every sandwich I made and tossed it, I poured in my cereal then scooped out 20% of it, 2 eggs for breakfast became 1 ½ and a ¾ slice of toast and even my occasional candy bar lost 20% off the end.

And you know what, it worked. I lost weight without changing anything or feeling denied. As time went on and I got smaller I made other changes but initially I just ate less and that was enough to get me started toward lasting weight loss.
Our bodies grow to expect a certain amount of food in order to feel full however you can train it to feel full with less by just eating a bit less, then a bit less again and before you know it you are much smaller than before. Don’t make it so hard on yourself when really lasting weight loss can be very easy.

In honor of the holidays I created this process that will help you feel more comfortable with less.

I hope you like it and I wish you a wonderful holiday.
