Harold Bob Nartey - On the Importance of Building New Health Habits Gradually

Harold Bob Nartey helps residents of Westchester, Illinois, to get in shape and eat healthy.

When it comes to health and dieting, most people decide to do it and start limiting their food intake, change the foods they eat instantly, and keep going until they break down and can’t do it anymore. Then they proclaim that dieting doesn’t work, that eating healthy is impossible, that they can’t do it, and they go back to their old routines.

It is important to understand that building new habits and routines takes time and a lot of work. We frequently underestimate the amount of energy we are spending on something because we assume that the amount of energy is limitless. In reality, when you face new demands, be it new duties at work or a decision to change your diet, you start spending more energy than before and deplete your energy reserves more quickly. 

The only way to increase your capacity in any dimension of life is to train; start small and then increase training over time. This applies to everything in life.

It applies to physical exercise. You won’t be able to run a marathon if you currently can’t run more than a few hundred feet. It also applies to your diet. If you are used to eating McDonalds three times a day, and you suddenly replace it all with kale and vegan shakes, you’ll probably go crazy in a day or two.
