Good morning, this is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's tip is that if you are trying to eat better, just add fruit or a vegetable to whatever you are already planning to eat.
Oftentimes, it can be easier to add food that's good for you rather than forego food that is not good for you.
Eating more healthy food will increase the overall healthiness of your diet and probably won't require as much willpower as trying to swear off the other stuff.
So lots of people make resolutions to eat healthier, but a lot of times these resolutions focus on what not to eat.
No junky carbs, carbs, no ultra -processed snacks, no fried food.
These may all be good ideas, but avoiding things we like takes a ton of willpower.
Imagine going to a family dinner where everyone else is eating your grandmother's special recipe pie.
A lot of times people either get in and then maybe even eat a lot more than they would have because they feel they're are cheating somehow.
Or they say no and feel ill with self -pity.
Another option, eat what you like within reason.
But just add an apple or something else like that to whatever you are going to eat.
So if it is looking like a donut for breakfast, grab an apple too.
Fried chicken for lunch, lunch, add an apple.
Pizza for dinner? Yep, an apple.
Or maybe it's some other type of produce.
Maybe it's easier to bring along a bag of baby carrots, or you're having chips and dip, so you add in celery.
People are having cheese and crackers as appetizers, so you eat a lot of grapes that are also there.
You can make a big vat of vegetable soup soup and have a cup of that with whatever you are eating for dinner during the week.
The point is that it should be something fairly bulky.
You add this filling produce onto whatever you are planning to eat, even snacks.
Adding something, particularly tasty fruit, tends not to take a ton of willpower.
Sure, I'll have a slice of grandma's pie and an apple.
But there are some brilliant upsides to this strategy.
First, produce is good for you.
So if you are trying to eat healthfully, by eating more produce, you are adding lots of vitamins and nutrients and fiber to your diet.
Go you. Second, all the water and fiber and produce takes up a ton of space in your stomach. So my guess is that you will have a slightly smaller helping of pie if you are also eating an apple than you would if it was only pie on the menu.
The net result is that you will wind up eating less of the less healthy stuff, even if you don't exercise any willpower whatsoever.
Long -time listeners may recognize that this add more of the good stuff concept fits in with my general philosophy on time.
When people want to spend time better, They often think about the things they want to spend less time doing.
And there is something to that.
But it is often a lot more fun to think about what you want to spend more time doing and find ways to do those things.
When you spend more time with friends and on hobbies and on the kinds of work you love, you naturally spend less time on social media or in your inbox, even without any email hacks.
As with so many aspects of self -improvement, success is easier if we don't rely so much on willpower.
It's hard to live life in the negative.
Adding things feels active and ultimately tends to get at the exact same result.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
