Epi 31: How to Start Craving Healthy Food Instead of Junk Food
b'
I was recently chatting with a friend and colleague who is well-known and liked in the industry. He asked me a question about my dietary habits and I realized that this question applies to most everyone trying to change their lives and bodies with food. Listen in to hear his question and why the answer is so important.\\xa0
\\xa0
The gist of his question was essentially, how do you do it? How do you avoid sweets, grains, and all the junk that\\u2019s out there. The answer, while simple, is not accomplished in a very easy manner, but the reward is amazing.
\\xa0
It\\u2019s all about your identity and changing it. For instance, if you\\u2019re a non-smoker and someone offers you a smoke what do you tell them? You tell them no, I don\\u2019t smoke. You\\u2019ve assimilated into your identity that you are a non-smoker.\\xa0
\\xa0
The same can be said of how you approach the food that you eat. I don\\u2019t have to avoid eating cake because I have changed my identity in that I just don\\u2019t eat cake. If someone offers it, I can easily avoid it because cake is not something that is in my diet and it\\u2019s not something that makes me feel good.\\xa0

Listen in as I share how you can go about changing your own identity and why it gets easier over time rather than harder. As Tony Robbins says, \\u201cNothing tastes as good as being healthy feels.\\u201d Remember that as you feel the pull toward eating junk.\\xa0
