Daily Battle

Hey Alex, welcome aboard. I have the same food weaknesses as you do. At some point I decided to give the 80/20 approach a try (eating well 80% of the time; eating whatever I wanted 20% of the time). I started slowly - 2 healthy meals and 1 'free' meal (so it was more of a 66.6/33.3 approach. After a couple of weeks of that, I found that it wasn't so difficult and that I was really starting to enjoy my heathly meals so I eventually got to eating properly about 90% of the time. It's really paying off, but more importantly, I'm still loving everything I eat. On those occasions when I eat too much, I end up having stuff like hummus and veggies or an extra bean burrito. Not the same calorie-ladden foods from before so it does way less damage to my weight loss efforts. Anyway, I offer you a summary of what I've found to work for me and hope you will find something that will help you reach your goals. Good luck!
