What to consider when making changes to your diet
What to consider when making changes to your diet
Thinking about changing your diet? Have you changed your diet in the past and didn’t stick with it? Does your friend have the perfect diet idea that you think you should try? Diet is one of the hardest patterns to successful change. Consider reading all of these considerations before you change your diet again, or work with someone changing their diet.
Dr. Allott is asked repeatedly what she thinks of this diet or that diet? She of replies that it depends. When considering making changes to your diet, there are several things to consider: intention for the change, how you currently use food (for both physical and emotional support), your personal history, and how you’re going to monitor whether (or not) it’s supporting your health. This handout will help you or the people that you connect with be more clear about their intentions, identify areas that will be challenging, and how to monitor for success.
