I hear so many people saying the number one reason they don't eat healthy is because it doesn't taste good or they don't want to give up everything that they love. All I have to say is, that is nothing more than another excuse.
There is nothing that says that you can't have your favorite foods that are not healthy for you ever again. If you have a piece of desert or something fried every once in a while, it isn't going to have any affect on you. The problem comes when it is the norm and you eat more unhealthy food than you do healthy food.
It never fails, we always want to do or crave what we are told that we can't have or do. For example, if someone says don't look, the first thing we want to do is to look. This is true even if we had zero desire to look prior to them saying something.
That is why it is so important to replace most of the unhealthy food, you will never hear me say replace it all. Not only is it completely unrealistic, it is deprevation. Although I will never tell you to replace it, I will tell you to have it only in small moderations. Believe it or not you will gradually lose your cravings and understand that you are not missing anything when you don't have it.
So go ahead and treat yourself, just don't let it be the norm. It doesn't even have to be a treat, eat it and enjoy it.
