Episode 2745:

Leo Babauta's plan encourages sustainable lifestyle changes by gradually replacing unhealthy foods with nutritious alternatives, while incorporating smaller, more frequent meals and progressively intensifying exercise. This method helps you maintain the foods you enjoy while making mindful adjustments, reducing sugar, fat, and portion sizes without feeling deprived.

Quotes to ponder:

"Gradually replace more and more fatty foods with healthier ones. You’ll get used to it over the course of a month."

"For your meals, try eating just one moderate-size serving. If you feel like a second serving, wait 20 minutes, then see if you’re full."

"If sugary foods are really problematic for you, come up with a list of alternatives to sweets, stock up on them, and get rid of the sweets in your house."
