What I tell people- find reasons WHY you like certain foods and identify alternative sources that may be better….for example - if you like chocolate cookies because of their chocolatey flavor, switch to chocolate animal crackers and you’ll consume much less calories with similar flavors and satisfying feelings :)
Another example- I like half and half tea and lemonade, but they load the premade up with sugar— buy unsweetened tea (Arizona sells gallons) and make your own lemonade with mix or otherwise and control your sugar and calorie consumption….i can drink glasses of it and have less sugar than one small serving of the store made version
