most people, this sounds too good to be true; but it is very possible.
Improved dietary habit, how you eat and when you eat can impact your
health, help you lose weight and make you feel better in the long run.
However, if you are finding it difficult to eat healthy or sustain
healthy dietary habit, these suggestions may be useful to you.
*.Avoid eating out: If you don't want to gain weight and you don't
want to give up your regular foods, then don't eat out. Instead, eat
only what you prepare, as it will help you ascertain the quality of
your meals. Prepare your food with less fat, salt and carbohydrate.
*.Reduce your plate size: If you reduce the size of your food by half,
over a period of time, you will definitely see a change in your
weight. And stop the habit of eating till you belch!
*.Add vegetables to your food: Always eat your food with plenty
vegetables, no matter the dish. Ensure half your plate is always
filled with vegetables each time you eat, irrespective of what is in
your plate. There is always a vegetable to match any kind of food.
*.Avoid late dinners: Eating late dinner is one major reason why most
people gain weight, as energy derived from late dinner is usually
stored as fat in the body because it is never used. Try eating your
dinner three hours before bed time and make it very light.
*.Eat, but exercise: You can eat all you want but you must exercise a
little more than usual to enable you to use up all the energy you
gather from the food; else, it will remain in your body and become
fat. This usually leads to excess weight and some health-related
challenges.
