5. The Right Mindset

In order to stick to any special diet, you need to put junk food out of your mind, and the only way to do that is to distract your mind with other things.

Imagine you just died and are looking back at the DVD of your life. Did you eat healthily, or did you eat crap? If you ate crap, you probably didn’t live to be very old. You only get one life. You only get one body. Look after it.

Or how about this? You are on a desert island. Your plane crashed but like Tom Hanks in Castaway you managed to survive and live off what was available.

There is fruit growing on the trees, and fish in the sea. If that is all there is, then you are not even going to think about chocolate or french fries, are you? You know you can survive on what you have available, so you would just get on with it.
As long as you keep your blood sugar levels up, by eating the right food - NOT sugar, then all you have to do is forget about food! Just eat when you are hungry. It’s that simple.
