Sometimes the best thing that can help is cutting out entire food groups for a time, to get rid of old habits and start new ones. This is similar to the idea of going “cold turkey” from junk food, but it’s a temporary measure that can help you become reacquainted with your body’s hunger cues, tastes, and needs. For example, go without sugar for a month and you’ll discover how sweet plain ol’ carrots are. Then try a piece of cake and balk at the sugar overload. There’s even research to suggest this alters your gut bacteria, which sends signals to your brain to keep loading up on the fresh stuff.
If you’re looking for a specific plan to help you reset habits, this one works wonders for shifting your focus onto nutrient-rich foods. Whatever you choose to go without (sweets or dairy, for instance) know that you’re not giving up these foods for life; you’re simply hitting the reset button and allowing yourself to tune in to what your body may be telling you.
