Change Your Eating Habits To Be Healthier
Keeping your body healthy in a world where greasy fast food and unhealthy junk food is easily available is pretty tough. It is not easy to choose between delicious yet unhealthy junk food such as french fries, sweets, pastries and healthy options like fruits and vegetables.
Fast food is so much easier to grab on the go but have you ever stop to think what you are feeding your body? When it comes to making a choice between a tasty burger and a healthy wholesome salad, I am sure you will go for the burger. Eating unhealthily on a long term basis will not only cause overweight issues but it will also cause health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol levels and heart disease.
Having an unhealthy eating lifestyle will not only shorten your life span but also cause you to have a lower quality of life as you will be suffering from various health conditions that require regular medical attention. In order to avoid that, here are some tips you can follow to change your eating habits for a healthier you without starving yourself.
1. When you are on the go - if you are in a hurry and need a quick bite, don't just settle for chips or a greasy fast food burger. You can always go for the healthier option of a healthy, wholemeal sandwich. You can grab such sandwiches at places like Subway. Always remember to ask for extra vegies, choose the wholemeal bread and for dressing, don't ask for mayo but choose the healthier sauces like olive oil or even a tad of mustard.
2. When you eat out - some people don't cook because they either don't have the time or do not have the interest to do so. So, they eat out a lot and when eating out, you are faced with a lot of choices. It is important that you choose to go to a healthier place for your meals instead of going to a fast food place. Choose a restaurant or a small cafe that offers healthy options like salads, grilled dishes and even smaller portions. Even if you don't feel like eating salads every day, you can choose mains of grilled chicken or fish which is healthier than deep fried. Keep away from the chicken skin and always ask for extras of the vegetables. Instead of going for the mashed potatoes or fries, ask for baked potato and yes, ask for dressing aside.
3. Going to parties or during festivals - during holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving and even the New Year's Eve parties, loads of goodies like cakes, cookies and highly unhealthy food will prove to be very tempting. Of course, you don't want to deprive yourself during the celebrations but instead of stuffing yourself with everything on the table, you should reduce your portion. You want to try out that delicious pie, then take a slice and keep it at that. As long as you eat in moderation and do not overeat. Also, remember to fill up on fresh greens and fruits first before going for the mains and desserts.
You don't have to count calories at all but instead, you cut down on your meal portion size and add in more healthy vegetables and fruits. With these slight changes, you will find the pounds dropping off slowly. You are also not starving yourself, just changing how much you eat and what you eat and training yourself to go for healthier options. Try these tips and feel the difference! - 17268
