The ‘Restrictive Fridge’ Strategy
Filed under: 
IET is a tricky thing. It’s harder to commit to it than it is to decide to get it started. I still believe in controlling one’s diet by supervising ‘fridge inventories’. It’s essentially done by abstaining from buying undesirable foods or sharing food with others too openly. Shared fridges are a disaster, speaking from experience, as you are no longer restricted to a narrow range of foods (variety is good on the other hand). I find that avoiding the temptation at the stage of purchase leads to a more balanced diet at the end of the day. This expands beyond the ‘realms’ of the fridge. Also dried and long-enduring foods fit this argument. Even sugary drinks and alcohol.

I call all tempting foods, “Trigger Foods,” because they are trigger my appetite.and my mind cannot resist the temtation. My will power bends as easily as a slice of cheese. When choices are low calorie diet foods, I am in cintrol and can do myself no harm.

There is nothing more damaging’s to one’s strict diet than a vacation with an open fridge — that with many ‘triggers’. *smile*
