I think one of the bigger barriers to eating healthy as a lifestyle after losing weight is that we are always looking for healthier versions of bad food. The healthy cookie. The healthy burger. The healthy chips. The healthy mac and cheese. And I get it. We are so used to our way of life that a big change from that is hard to get used to and accept. Perhaps we need to get out of that mindset though and simplify things. As an example, why make a dark chocolate avocado cookie? Why not just eat and learn to appreciate some avocado and dark chocolate separately? What it does is keep our brain focused, even subconsciously, on things that we shouldn't be eating or eat too much of habitually. Sure you may have a great healthy doughnut recipe, but next time you pass a doughnut store and you dont have your healthy doughnut on you I feel like you're more likely to stop at the doughnut store. These things are all fine and good for helping with the transition to a new diet, but at some point you just gotta work on eating more whole foods and putting down the bagged "veggie chips".
This is something I am going to start working on myself I think.
