 Feels like I’m always going to struggle with my diet 😔 
 Oh, why? 
 Junky food is my kryptonite 
 The dose makes the poison 🧪 
 Don't think of it as a diet.
It's just what you eat now...😉 
 Awee, sending you a hug! Have you tried carnivore ever? 🫂 
 Don't feel bad, friend. That shitty food is highly addictive by design! You might want to give carnivore or at least zero-carb/keto a try. It's much easier to stick to good food when you're not addicted to glucose.  
 I did once, but couldn’t keep at it. 
 You will always struggle. We all do. It is an addiction. But you can do it. Fight through the cravings. Step by step.  Progress, not perfection. Love yourself. 
 I think it is good to try keeping big blood sugar spikes low. So eating sugar after big meals instead of on a empty stomag.

Maby also something one can more easily adapt then some hardcore foodtrends.

Rather set goals, which are this small, that it is really hard to fail them. Like this it is easyer to stick with it longterm. Or even for live 😉 
 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.

 
 Don't worry, they'll cut everyone off without an ID eventually & you'll just have to go hunting & fishing instead, problem solved. 🤣  
 See, silver linings. 😂
