Episode 2768:

Leo Babauta explores why drastic diet changes often fail, highlighting how overwhelming, unsustainable, and unappealing they can be. By making small, enjoyable changes gradually, you can establish a healthier lifestyle that feels normal and satisfying, rather than like a constant sacrifice.

Quotes to ponder:

"You’re pushing out of your comfort zone, but not too much."

"One small change at a time means a dozen over a few months. That adds up to some amazing change over time."

"Imagine a life that includes healthy food that you’d really enjoy - but allows for other indulgences too."
