The only reason anyone struggles with food and dieting, is because of desire.⁠

Desire is tired to our survival, so it's very powerful.⁠

But the way that we try to control ourselves around food , can actually really increase that desire.⁠

Because the way that we try to control ourselves, is we struggle against it. Instead of lowering that desire to eat whatever we want.⁠

⁠The minute you say - "you can't eat that"- your desire goes right up.⁠

⁠So if you push and force against yourself to not have it and that increases your desire for it, you have really just increased the struggle.⁠

⁠That's what we do, we try to diet which increases our desire for all the food.⁠

⁠When WE need to do the opposite, decrease our desire for it.⁠

Lets look at deprivation, deprivation increases our desire,⁠

⁠But think about it like this:⁠

⁠Deprivation is never there if you have no desire for it.⁠

If I say- "you can't have broccoli or something you really don't like"- you wont feel deprived. ⁠

But If I say you can never have your favourite food again, you're going to feel really deprived. WHY?⁠

⁠That's because your desire is so high.⁠

⁠So this is what we do— deprivation only exist when desire is there.⁠

⁠The answer is not to solve for deprivation for forcing and will powering your way through some unsustainable diet, but to solve for the excess desire!⁠
