Stop overcomplicating your diet

If poor diet is the biggest problem you have, then perhaps you need to simplify things.  STOP worrying about whether you should boil or steam or bake or grill it per the amount of nutrients you are losing that way. STOP debating whether you should buy from (insert national chain) or (insert health food store) based on the number of sweat shops used and/or pesticides added.  And STOP worrying about the taste or the non-glamorous presentation of the food and IF your body can adjust to such "extreme dieting" as no salt or JUST a chicken breast and a veggie.

Forget the small details.

Focus on the big picture.

Focus on the end result.

Bottom line...you need to keep your metabolism going, prevent your body from going into starvation mode and you need to burn more calories than you are taking in.  Allow this to become a habit...allow it to become a lifestyle...but keep it simple for now.  Steel cut oats, plain chicken breasts, broccoli and brussels sprouts (as an example) can be boring, but they are easy to make, simple to consume and get the job done.  Once the weight starts melting off & it has become a habit, you can adjust to prevent insanity.  Until then, stay focused on the goal at hand.

Just Forrest Gump it!  Don't question so much...just do it!!
