I had to go completely cold turkey for months before I was able to break away from diet soda.
My #1 tip: Do not have it in the house. If it's there, your body will find its way to it and will perpetuate the habit, the addiction, the cravings.
- rootusrootus 5y agoThis is good advice for anything you crave, be it soda, food, you name it. The hardest part about losing weight for me is when my wife continues to buy junk food for herself or the kids.
- ngngngng 5y agoHave you tried lifting weights? Maintaining muscle takes a lot of calories. If you eat too much, just turn it into muscle and there won't be any left over for your body to store fat.
- hinkley 5y agoBuying stuff you know you shouldn't eat is just present you finding yet another way to screw over future you. Also serving size matters. It's cheaper 'per serving' to get the larger container, until you are honest with yourself about how big your serving is actually going to be, and how much time and energy (and possibly money) it's going to take to undo. Buying the single serving chips or the smaller cans ends up being cheaper for me, overall. A serving of fancy chips is a treat. A whole bag of them is just self-recrimination in a crinkly bag.
