[quote=Anonymous]Green juice and yoga.

I know how that makes me sound, but I cannot stress enough that I am not a crunchy person and those two things are the last things I ever expected to get into.

Re the yoga: as I started to lose weight and get more fit I found it more and more enjoyable. Nowadays basically any time I have a few minutes to spare I’ll either steam a short peloton yoga class or just run through some sun salutations or other poses.  My body actually craves the movement and feels so good doing it.  And it fills a lot of the empty time I used to spend snacking or thinking about food.

On the juice, I know that doesn’t answer your question because it is actually food, but it totally realigned my relationship with food.  I starting making a green juice for breakfast as part of my weight loss plan and just got addicted.  (To be clear, I always ate real food too, never did juice fasts.) I hit my goal weight a long time ago but will never ever stop juicing.  I don’t crave sweets anymore ever and I very rarely crave any other type of food. A fresh green juice in the morning gives me the kind of pleasure I used to get from a big fried meal.  I make fruitier juices for snacks or desert and it tastes and feels like I’m having something bad for me, even though it’s still quite healthy.[/quote]
