times. If you need incentive to resist temptation, here
are a few suggestions:
• Clear your pantry of foods you crave and replace
them with healthy alternatives.
• Engage in an activity to distract your desire,
preferably something physical such as walking, biking
or swimming.
• Stick to eating basic meals that contain enough
satisfying nutrients. Skipping meals increases your
desire to reach for an unhealthy snack.
In his book, “Willpower: Rediscovering the
Greatest Human Strength”, Roy Baumeister argues
that willpower is “the capacity to restrain our
impulses, resist temptation – do what’s right and good
for us in the long run, not what we want to do right
now.” Next time you’re tempted to indulge, remember
what tastes good now might not be healthy for you
later. That’s incentive to say no!
