The Abundance Approach

Successful long-term weight management leans on abundance rather than bans. Instead of eliminating foods, you crowd them out with more nutritious options. Fill your plate with protein, vegetables, and whole grains first, and the less helpful foods take up less room on their own.

This flips the whole dynamic. You are adding good things rather than policing bad ones, so there is no list of forbidden foods to obsess over — and far less of the deprivation that drives binges.
