DEPRIVATION: THINKING ABOUT WHAT
YOU CAN'T HAVE IS A POWERFUL
TRIGGER TO CRAVE (THE MAIN REASON
WHY THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT FOLLOW
RESTRICTION, YET A MORE BALANCED
APPROACH TO NUTRITION). TIP: GOAL
SETTING IS THE FOUNDATION OF
BEHAVIORAL CHANGE. ALSO LINKING A
PERSONAL REASON TO YOUR GOAL IS
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: DUE TO THEIR
SWEETNESS, THIS ENCOURAGES SUGAR
CRAVINGS AND YOUR DEPENDENCE ON
SUGAR.
WHEN WE ASSOCIATE FOOD WITH
PLEASURE, WE BEGIN TO RELY ON IT FOR 6
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT. THE BEST THING TO
DO IS TO REMIND YOURSELF THAT IT IS
ONLY MOMENTARY SATISFACTION. TRY
FINDING PLEASURE IN OTHER THINGS AND
BE MORE AWARE WHEN IT'S HAPPENING
SO THAT WAY YOU CAN PIN POINT THE
TRIGGER.
