No More Dieting: The Middle Path

In March, I recorded an episode called "No More Dieting... So Now What?" After reading Dr. Aamodt's book, Why Diets Make Us Fat, I wanted to figure out that million dollar question for myself. If I don't want to yo-yo diet and punish myself anymore, what do I do?

Key topics:

✔️ The Buddhist idea of the Middle Path is so useful here. Too much asceticism makes life dull and restrictive yet too much indulgence can make us feel sluggish and tired. 
✔️ I focused on one habit at a time and truly worked on not doing too much too soon. Yes, progress is slower that way but it also tends to be long lasting. 
✔️ Keeping a food journal can be very helpful. Sometimes we tend to graze mindlessly or eat little snacks that we brain-dump later. 
✔️ Fake foods are usually highly processed and don't make me feel full for any significant length of time. Yes, they may be convenient but at what cost?
✔️ Always talk to your doctor FIRST before you make any changes to your own eating habits and/or exercise routine. Don't get in a hurry and cause more harm than good.
