We know it’s physically possible to lose fat in either of
the scenarios above by simply limiting calories. But which
scenario will support a fat loss goal most effectively,
minimize the amount of willpower you have to expend to
achieve it, and ultimately maximize your chances of losing
fat and maintaining a leaner figure
As this thought experiment illustrates, cultivating a
supportive food environment is a key strategy for achieving
and maintaining leanness. Relying on willpower to restrain
ourselves from eating tempting foods that are right under
our noses is a losing strategy in the long run. Controlling
food cues is easier and more sustainable.
This requires clarifying what foods we do and don’t want to eat,
establishing a favorable food environment at home and at work, and
designing our surroundings so that the right options are easily accessible
and poor options are absent or inconvenient. A little bit of planning can
spare a lot of willpower.
