Magic Trio
Motivator 1: Choice
Do an experiment. Experimenting will get you to understand what works with your body. No health guru will ever compare to the body of knowledge (pun intended) you are walking around in.
#1 Experiment to make the tastiest stir fry. All ingredients must be unprocessed (no sauces from jars etc), but you can use any strong cheeses and crunchy toppings. Do not worry about fat content for this test.
#2 Experiment over two days with two exercise sessions. Your testing criteria is; which is the most enjoyable?
#3 How does a protein-heavy savoury breakfast affect (A) sugar cravings and (B) mid-afternoon overeating that day?
Here are some other experiments that I have done:
Dairy vs no dairy, slow eating with a timer vs guessing the time, intermittent fasting, unprocessed diet Vs a 90% unprocessed diet, wearing a CGM (constant glucose monitor) and seeing the effects in real time of different foods on my body, alternate day fasting, no bread vs rye bread, commercial rye vs homemade.
The key with experimenting is that you cannot succeed or fail. It can only give you data. How great is that!
