I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my moods since being on the program. I do believe that eating healthier has a positive effect on mood. When I give into my cravings and eat badly, I do notice the difference in mood in the next days or so. You may ask if my mood is directly related to the guilt that comes from eating unhealthy. I say that it empowers me to choose to eat healthy and also to make a conscious decision to eat things that are ‘not so healthy’ and I typically don’t feel guilty when I do. I am treating this program as a lifestyle change and expect that I will sometimes go ‘off plan’. When that happens, I just get right back on track and keep it moving. I truly believe this keeps my moods in check. Health and weight management is a constant struggle and we have to give ourselves regular physical as well as mental breaks.
