Losing 100 Pounds: Article Response (7)

I can’t stress this enough – if you’ve been using food as a source of comfort and satisfaction in the past (and we ALL do this to some degree), but if you’ve been doing it in an addictive way, then you will probably continue to do so on some level.  The key here is that you need to be able to control your decisions, increase your awareness of your behaviors, and also include some foods in your program that can be used to fulfill this need for comfort and satisfaction.  The secret is that you can actually meet these needs with foods that both taste good and are actually really good for you! I bet no diet program out there would encourage that kind of behavior, but that’s part of the problem with our diet plans.  Eating food can’t be only about nutritional value, it has to taste good, too!!  It’s so simple, but a brilliant revelation for me – I can have both.   Nutrition and taste – both important qualities, and, in fact, these are the main criteria I use to choose most of the food I eat to maintain my health.
