It is an easy trap to fall in to because it was all about the food, never the behaviour. When you start to restrict foods without a strong ‘why’, without a belief in yourself, without a plan, then you will fail.

To turn this around you need to understand your behaviour and your habits. Why do you choose certain foods to eat, even when you know there is a different choice that would be healthier?

Change your habit, and you change your outcome.
