Instead of asking the question, “what does this diet call for?” consider making the statement, “this is what I’m going to do to improve my nutrition.” This is you determining what the best course of action is for you right now, given your particular set of circumstances, at this particular time in your life. One of the areas where we stumble is in underestimating our own strengths and what we’re capable of. You are capable of so much more than you think. Society and marketing make us think we can’t lose weight on our own. They tell us that we don’t have the willpower to stick to our own plan for better nutrition. But again, you are more capable than you know. So, drink more water today. Manage your calorie intake in a way that works best for you. Add fruits and veggies in a way that works for you. Reduce the amount of sugar you consume, but go about it your way. You can do it.
