It is always hard to change what we have always done and get out of the same old habits, whether your habit is having too many take outs, binge eating at the weekend or not wanting to cook. We all have our own bad habits, i’m a bit of a weekend binge eater, as I have a sweet tooth!
I have however tried to combat that, as otherwise, you start to tell yourself, that you need to treat yourself and then eat everything you didn’t eat in the week. It tends to then have a ever growing bad effect on how you eat.
So for me, I still do treat myself, but not as regular and I try to not have all the bad things in one day. So I might have a healthy breakfast and lunch, but then a comforting meal and dessert, but not every weekend.
There are a number of reasons that people find to not want to cook or eat better, such as the time it takes, not feeling hunger, no variety in the diet, skipping meals, overeating the wrong foods, not eating enough of the right foods or the cost.
The best ways I have found to change habits are to change the taste buds, include a constant variety of foods, swapping unhealthy foods for healthy, increasing vegetables and protein, for less carbohydrates or sweet stuff.
The main way you can combat habits is to plan!!
