Have you tried to give up gluten or cut back on your carbs?

I remember back in the Atkins days my mom wouldn't even go near a piece a fruit! And currently with Keto all carbs as "bad."

While I won't get into to the discussion on the nutritional facts of carbs (they're not bad...unless you DO have celiac disease); let's talk about why it's easier to give up gluten when you have Celiac as opposed to when you don't and you simply want to lose weight and get healthier.

If someone with Celiac were to think about eating gluten again, they would think of the consequences of it. And those consequences tend to come quickly and painfully. With this thought and clear outcome it becomes easier for this person to steer clear of gluten.

Now if you don't have celiac and you're trying to lose weight and get healthier. The immediate consequences aren't there. You won't experience the pain, bloating and nausea. The consequences you are looking at are long term.

What this comes down to is immediate consequences.

You need to make the long term consequences seem more immediate. Like someone with Celiac if they eat a bagel they will very quickly feel the painful affects. 

Take something you are trying to change or achieve right now. Look at the long term success you are looking for...your "why." And bring that to the now. Make it immediate.
