Remove the word Cheating !

Good day!
I really hope that all of you will have a chance to do their exercise outside today, with the beautiful sun, it really feels we are finally heading for summer! )

I wanted to clear up a word with you, please remove the word cheating from your vocabulary. When you are on this low GI diet, you are not in prison. You are making choices that you fully assume. Therefore if you decide to have a piece of chocolate, chips or fires, you are not cheating anyone. You are making the choice of having those. I have come up with a list of foods to avoid, but they are not banned for life. However, if you want to see improvements in your health and weight, you have to make an habit of not consuming these on a regular basis. The longer you will go without, the less you are craving them, and at one point, they are not even attractive anymore. However, you have to make that effort of avoiding them for a period of time to give your body a chance to get over them.

I was very happy to ear from a few of you that some of the foods you were cravings before, do not seem as attractive and have lost their persuasive power on you. This is a great improvement! ) Congratulations.

Our weight loss efforts are not a sprint to starvation to lose as quickly as possible, but they are efforts learning to integrate new healthier eating habits. The outcome of those new efforts on a sustained and continuous basis will translate into weight loss and energy.

Lets keep it up and remove the word cheating from our vocabulary!

Keep it up! ) and Enjoy summer! )
