    QOD: Like most habits, they are hard to change.We typically eat how we were raised or how people around us eat. If you try to change it, it becomes difficult as there is so much temptation around you. It takes not only effort and discipline but for the first while, it also takes a lot of time before you understand the new dietary habits and gain enough knowledge for it to become almost 2nd nature.

    Been eating mainly Paleo for about 2 years now and I still have periods of time of major slips! Like this week where I’ve been overloaded with work and study… once I ran out of pre-cooked frozen meals, I went for the easy crappy stuff. Beurk… Will be back on track post-exam 🙂

    To all those taking the challenge. Stick to it!!! You can do it!!!

  4. QOD: Dietary changes are hard because they affect your MIND! When your body is going through withdrawals it plays nasty tricks on your mind.

    Thanks for the support, I’m really loving my 7am routine! 🙂

    QOD: Probably because it’s a big change of lifestyle and your mind lingers on it too much, trying to resort to old habits. I find I eat better when I’m distracted and busy- like at school or spending some time outside- or when I have a game or practice later and know it would affect my performance.
    Speaking of which, good luck to all those who are doing the Lifestyle Challenge!!

  8. QOD: I think the reason is that we eat seldom for nourishment and so often for emotional or lifestyle reasons. If you journaled all the reasons you ate something with what you ate, it would be pretty informative – to celebrate a birthday/ anniversary, because you were tired, because you were sad/ angry, because it was Friday, because someone brought treats to work… If our reasons were “hungry, need fuel, thirsty, need water” every time something went in our mouths, eating behaviours would be easier to change and maintain.

    That being said, I wonder if we have any bacon

  9. QOD: Dietary changes are hard because crap food tastes sooooo good. 🙂

    1. Oh. QOD:
      1. Habits are hard to break, particularly if they’ve been developed over years.
      2. Your body will tend to freak out if you drastically change your diet, even if the change is for the better. It will take your body a while to adjust to the change and stop demanding cheetos.
