When you want to get to your IdealShape, do you immediately think about what you are going to have to stop eating?

What if this time you started by thinking about what you could add to your diet to start moving towards your IdealShape? Fruits and vegetables. More lean protein like chicken, fish and pork. More fiber rich food. More water. That doesn’t sound too terribly difficult, does it? If we just focus on what we should be eating to feel healthier and have more energy, and if we listen to when our bodies are telling us we’re hungry, we can make the right nutritional choices.

We naturally want to live abundantly. If we try to deprive ourselves of the things we love to get to our IdealShape, we are taking away two things our bodies have become accustomed to: unhealthy foods and extra fat. Remember, our bodies would prefer to maintain fat stores just in case we go through a starvation period. This is a product of human evolution. So, instead of cutting everything out at once, make changes that you can handle and focus on each day. Simple additions can sometimes create big subtractions.
