How to Eat Healthy and Lose Excess Weight |
In our culture and part fastfood massive size, maintaining a healthy weight can be quite difficult and lose weight, even more difficult. Adding to this difficulty is the abundance of fad diets and quick fix plans that do not really have anything good, at least not in the long run. If you're one of those people who have tried and failed to lose weight in the past, do not lose hope. There are many small changes you can make to your daily diet to achieve lasting weight loss. Let me share with you some of them.
1. Instead of eating three big meals a day, it is divided into six smaller meals and smaller portions of course.
2. Avoid eating refined carbohydrates like white flour, rice, pasta and bread. Eat only whole grain carbohydrates such as brown rice and whole wheat pasta.
3. Never skip breakfast. Those who think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories usually end up eating more throughout the day. Eat earlier in the day that prevents us from "starvation eating" later. Apart from that, have breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism so you burn more calories throughout the day.
4. Get rid of junk food and healthy stock of ready to eat snacks instead. Unsalted nuts, whole grains and vegetable sticks are delicious and healthy snacks that can help you feel more satisfied.
5. Learning to read a nutrition label. Avoid buying foods containing ingredients you can not easily pronounce. Chances are, they are loaded with preservatives and additives. Again, if you can not tell, do not eat it.
6. Reward yourself occasionally. Do not be too hard on yourself. Treat yourself to your favorite ice cream or a big juicy burger once a week. The more you deprive yourself, the more chance you end up overeating.
7. Try to learn to cook healthy foods. This way you can eat healthy foods at any time on the comfort of your own home.
8. Reduce your intake of sodium and sugar. Excess consumption of sugar and sodium both carry their own sets of problems. Eating too much sugar can increase the weight, blood sugar and your risk of heart disease. On the other hand, too much salt in your diet can cause water retention and bloating which can cause weight gain and cardiac strain.
9. Use a smaller plate when eating. This creates the illusion that the plate has a lot of food inside.
10. Avoid emotional eating. Bingeing can make you feel worse about yourself in the long run.
