This week we’re focusing on habit change because it’s critical to develop some new habits if we’re going to change the way we eat for the long term.
For those who prefer to read, in the video I touch on the following:
1. Why exercise isn’t the answer to long term weight loss.
I share my own experience with my waistline and exercise. Look at Gary Taubes’ explanation why exercise doesn’t work to maintain or lose weight. We’ll also look at the good news about exercise and the bad news.
2. Habit change basics.
We’ll explore the ’20 second rule’ developed by happiness psychologist, Shawn Achor. We also look at the fabulous Leo Babauta and his blog Zen Habits and how Leo’s simple habit change philosophy can help you.
3. A deeper dive into Rules 1-3.
So you can understand exactly why the rules exist and moving forward give you the insights to develop your own rules.
4. This weeks homework.
Just choose one habit you’d like to change when it comes to eating and cooking and apply the ’20 second rule’ ie. figure out what you need to do to set yourself up to make it as easy as possible. Or what’s the smallest step you can take to start making this change?
