I've managed to cut out coke (the soda/soft drink) Simply by reprogramming my brain. Everytime I see an advertisement for it, I ask myself 'why would I drink a rust remover? nice try marketing department ' 🤣🤣🤣 and I actively laugh. To release feel good chemicals. Now when I hear the marketing sounds or see the 'refreshing' logos etc...I laugh, it's a joke, they are selling a cleaning product in the drink aisle.

Firstly, don't split it up. You can exercise for an hour without it feeling like exercise. If married, get your partner to help 😉 If you hand mix a baking treat it's exercise, and it's cooking from scratch. It also becomes a healthy breakfast on the go, or a picnic to enjoy a a park near your workplace. It becomes a healthy snack. ..... When you cook, cook double or triple batches. Freeze the extra in individual serves. Now over time you will build up a variety of heat and eat meals :) Think of marketing campaigns like you would a tantruming toddler. Sure they get more in your face if you ignore them, or deny them what they want... however eventually they learn that method doesn't work. If we all do that, marketing campaigns will have to adapt and products will only sell well if they are wholesome. In many ways we as consumers have feed into this out of control situation.
