Today Lois and I were talking about her daughter trying to change her diet and how difficult that can be.

Lois didn’t think that her daughter could make the transition to Primal like she did.

But I told her that her daughter most definitely could.

Everyone goes about starting a healthy diet in a different way. And even once we’ve settled on a healthy diet, we are constantly editing it – we are constantly changing it to fit our lifestyle better, make us healthier, help us reach a fitness goal….

No one’s diet is exactly the same as anyone elses.

For some people, making a drastic diet change is simply impossible. They have to ease themselves into it.

That is exactly what Lois’s daughter will have to do.

It may start with cutting out soda. Then vegetable oils. Then gluten until she finds a diet that not only makes her healthy but allows her to reach her goals and enjoy life.

Yes that’s right…ENJOY LIFE.

Most people don’t consider “enjoying life” when they start a new diet.

You have to create a diet that works for you! And you won’t stick to a diet that you don’t enjoy!

While you want to eat what’s healthy, you also have to allow yourself foods that you enjoy.

While you don’t want to eat a ton of bacon or a ton of cheese, if you enjoy those foods ALLOW yourself to have them. If you deprive yourself for too long, you will just fall off the wagon and have the hardest time getting back on.

If you enjoy pizza, while you don’t want to eat it every day, you can give yourself meals to eat pizza at…and I’m not talking about some Paleo/Primal pizza…I’m talking about the real thing.

I think that all out cheats once a week really work for some people.

There are just so many things that can work. You just need to find out what you enjoy the most while staying in line with what is healthy.

Only if you enjoy the diet will it really work for you!

And if a diet doesn’t work for you? You won’t stick to it no matter how healthy it is!
