To switch is hard, specially because our knowledge of what is good or bad for us is usually lacking.

Gina and I made it work by both working together with a nutritionist, experimenting and trying out new foods, learning about easy prep methods, etc. that were sustainable for us. It took us over a year to slowly and completely switch to a different diet, where we are cognizant of what we are eating. It’s a process.

If you are forced to buy meals outside, then it helps if you start making healthy choices and think about each one individually. Don’t think that because you ordered a burger you also need the fries plus the smoothie. Those are all separate choices. If you went for the burger, get water and skip the fries! Or even better, try a healthy food restaurant so there’s more healthier choices to pick from.
Choices, choices, choices.
