Take it one step at a time
Start slowly if you’re just beginning to make changes towards a healthier lifestyle. You have a body that is used to the old ways of living and it will likely give up if you make drastic changes.
Eat at Home
You can’t control how much you order when you eat out. You may end up eating more than what you should.
Stop counting calories
Don’t be too attached to this. Instead, think about food in terms of freshness and color. Greens are always healthy. Also, colorful fruits are good for the body. These are the foods your body requires more of. Don’t be afraid to eat more.
Don’t skip meals
It is better to eat smaller portions 5- 6 times per day if your goal is to lose weight. Avoiding meals can lead to weight loss and excess calories.
Snack Healthy
Instead of reaching for the cupcake when you feel hungry, grab a carrot stick. Fruits, nuts, raisins and cranberries are all good snacks.
Enjoy Your Meal
Don’t rush eating. Slowly chew your food. Stop eating if you feel full. Listen to your body.
Make sure you fill that plate with the right kind of stuff
How much food a person eats can have a significant impact on their weight loss and gain. Dietitians recommend that people choose quality over quantity. One example: You might have had only crackers for lunch but also had a large jug of sweetened beverages. This sweetened beverage is responsible for your weight gain.
A large bowl of fresh vegetables and water would have been better than crackers with sweetened drinks. A diet that is lower in carbs is better for your body. Reduce fat by removing bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice, and substituting them with vegetables.
If you’re the type of person who can only eat large amounts of food, you should fill up your plate with the right food. Consider colourful fruits and veggies. Higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are associated with deep colours. These are the essential nutrients your body requires every day.
Keep Water in your Drinking Habits
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger, and end up eating when they only need a glass water. Water is good for digestion and detox.
These tips are just a few of the many things you need to remember. Regular exercise is a must. Consider quitting smoking and consuming moderate amounts of alcohol if you smoke.
