As you we are all aware, maintaining a consistently healthy (read: mainly preservative-free,
low on the gummy-bears as a meal ratio) can be a true trial at times.
Many people fail before they even get started.
What it comes down to when maintaining a healthy lifestyle,
is controlling what we put in our bodies. That’s it.
If, at the moment, we pay no attention to the food we eat, we are doing ourselves a
disservice. We need to make sure that we eat well so that we may look and feel incredible.
Below are some tips and tricks to keep us going through those tough periods
when we would prefer to faceplant into a bowl of butter laden spuds.
Create a meal plan.
The truth of the matter is that meal plans work. When you know what you will eat
for the next week or so, you will find it simple to control your cravings.
Of course, eating plans differ depending on whether you are male or female.
Of course it isn’t fair, but men can afford more calories than us ladies.
Work out a sensible plan and try to stick with it. You will notice a difference right away.
Consult with your doctor.
Remember, dieting is not just about being slim – it is about being healthy.
Talk to a doctor about your eating plan so that you can get some expert advice.
The last thing you want to do is starve yourself, and you need to be as careful as possible.
Visit an internal medicine center and ask a physician for their help. That way, you will find that you are doing what’s right for your health.
Add some spice!
Spice is a brilliant thing, and you should never underestimate its power.
When you eat spicy food, you avoid overeating. Not only do spices curb your appetite, but they also taste fantastic.
Whenever you make a meal, you should consider adding a few spices to it.
Obviously, you don’t want to go overboard with this step, but it will help you. (I promise!) Start stocking up on your favorites now so that when you make a meal you have some ready to use.
Never skip breakfast.
You will have heard this piece of advice before, but I bet you don’t follow it, do you? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you should never miss it.
Sure, you may not have much time in the morning, but that is no excuse.
Before you go to bed, you can juice some fruit ready for the morning.
Pop your drink in the fridge so that you can grab it when you leave the house.
Breakfast starts your digestive system, and so you must never forget to have it.
Always have an appetizer.
If you are starving when it comes to mealtimes, you will eat more than you need to.
Before you sit down for a meal, you should make sure that you have a small bite to eat.
For example, you might want to have a piece of fruit or a biscuit.
Having something small before your main meal will stop you from eating everything in sight.
This tip is an excellent idea if you tend to eat without thinking about the size of the dish.
Drink water with your meals.
When you are having a meal, you should drink water at the same time.
Much of the time, when you feel hungry, you are thirsty.
If you drink water when you eat, you will find that you are less hungry than you otherwise would be.
Use this tip all the time and you will start to notice some massive results.
Being healthy is not and should not be treated as a trend – it is a lifestyle.
If you want to do what’s best for your health, follow my advice. What about you all?
Do you have anything you’d like to add to my list?
