“Lack of variety. I’m a big believer in moderation and balance, so the idea of cutting something out all together doesn’t strike me as realistic for most people (myself included).

But eating the same group of ingredients, day in and day out, it’s not only detrimental to your body, but also so boring!

Try to keep your dishes as colorful, textural, and seasonal as possible, and always throw in fresh fruits and vegetables for a little variety.

I’m not going to ever give up french fries or ice cream cold turkey, but by having a varied and exciting diet, I find those cravings are kept at bay!”
