How Do Completely Change My Eating Habits

It is important to realize that exercising is wonderful, but your food intake is also just as vitally important. So you already know that you need to make some major improvements on your eating habits. If you try to change everything at once, I promise you that you will fail. It is much better to make several small changes over a period of time. God has already told us what he wants us to eat. Maria Treben provides a excellent intrepretation in God's Pharmacy

First, either get or create a journal on where you can track what you eat. Keep eating what you normally do and write it down.

Second, determine the smallest problem area. I say the smallest, because they will be the easiest to change and it is important to see the small victories before you can get to the big victory.

Slowly decrease your intake of that particular area over a couple of weeks. For example, if you drink too much pop and not enough water then slowly replace water for pop. If you drink 3 pops a day, drink 2 pops and 1 water for a week, then drink 1 pop and 2 waters a week, and then no pops and 3 waters. This does not mean that you can no longer drink pop, it just means that it is no longer the norm.

Then when you feel confident on your success of the first area, move on to the second problem area. It is important that you don't move on until you are completely confident that first area is no longer a problem.

Studies have shown that something becomes habitual after about 21 days. So after that time what were once problem areas will no longer be a problem. Remember to make small changes and they will have a lasting effect.
