10 easy ways to eat properly without dieting

 

Why do diets almost never succeed, or do they succeed in the short term?

Because people see diets as a temporary solution to a lifelong problem. Instead of following some crazy diets that consist of carrots and beans and nothing more, you should focus on making the right lifestyle choices. This will allow you to live a healthy life without having to drink the magic fruit juice that you paid too much for.

Do not focus on dieting, but on a well-balanced diet.

 When it comes to the food you eat, you always tend to focus on the wrong things.

Instead of telling yourself that you ate healthy today when you had that "salad" (when we know full well that the salad had more calories than your friends' hamburger and french fries), do the following things to improve your diet. And do not worry. You can still eat pizza, just leave the "salad" aside.

Eat healthier with these 10 tips!

 

Do not drink your calories

When going out to dinner with your friends or family, drink water or black coffee instead of soda or juice. Drinking your calories does not lead to satiety. In other words, drinking your calories will not get you full. Not drinking two fizzy drinks a day will save you 300 calories, which equates to more than 20 pounds a year.

Watch out for dressings

Dressings add unnecessary calories to your diet. Common toppings such as ketchup, BBQ sauce, and cream dressings add hundreds of calories to your meal. Instead, stick to low-calorie spices like hot sauce, buffalo sauce, or mustard. These spices or vinegar supplements have very few calories compared to the others.

Set the cheese aside!

Yes we all love cheese. I'm not saying exclude it from your pizza either because it will kill you. However, excluding cheese from some everyday meals, such as salads and sandwiches, will reduce your caloric intake to several hundred calories. BUT the truth is that we all know how incredibly good cheese is, so maybe just ask the waiter to put less in your next meal.

Always bring home-prepared food

When you are at work, school, or out, you do not have to bring boiled chicken and three spinach leaves for lunch. But whenever you are able to bring your own lunch you are far more likely to consume fewer calories because you can plan ahead what you would eat today for lunch and control the calories. Many times restaurant meals have over 1000 calories. However, even bringing home-made chocolate cake for lunch is likely to eat far fewer calories than eating fast food from a restaurant.

Choose your snack well

We all want to have a snack while we work. Especially in the afternoon. Instead of going to the food processor to get your daily intake of chocolates, sweets, and chips, there are a number of snack options that are healthy and do not taste bad - nuts such as nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, low-fat
 fruit yogurts, some fruit bars etc.

Eat smaller meals

Your overall weight gain/loss is simply determined by how many calories you eat and how many calories you burn. However, by dividing your daily calories into smaller meals, you will avoid the pain caused by hunger. You will also be less likely to overeat. Many people only eat at lunch and dinner. This causes them to overeat in these two meals. If your daily calorie intake is to be 2,000 calories, try splitting those calories into five 400-calorie meals instead of two 1000-calorie meals.

Eat vegetables

I know what you think now. So naturally, I know I should eat vegetables, I learned that in first grade. But the number of people who eat little or no vegetables at all is shocking. Vegetables do not have to taste like ordinary grass. Just include vegetables as a salad or side dish while eating your daily meals and your body will be grateful.

Reduce with sugar

Follow the 5/2 rule, ie do not eat sugars in 5 days and eat in 2. You determine your days. Most of your diet should consist of healthy natural foods, but allow yourself to eat chocolate as long as it is in moderation. Choose a small snack that has no more than 100 calories, instead of a large pack of Snickers, Kit-Kat, or a whole pack of ice cream.

Have breakfast

Research shows that people who eat breakfast are less likely to exceed the required caloric intake for the rest of the day. Your elementary school teachers did not lie to you when they told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In the country where I live there is a saying ‘’have breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a poor man’’

Practice moderation

Some days it is okay to eat barbecue or your favorite fast food until you make it a habit. Allow yourself a "cheat day" once a week, but just make sure your overall diet is right for the rest of the week.

Conclusion

 Too many people see diet as a short-term solution; As something that will help them lose a few calories before returning to the old diet where they justify eating a box of Oreos as a meal. The reason why diets fail is that people often switch back and forth from one extreme to another. For example, they say ‘’From today I will eat healthily and exercise in the gym, so tomorrow they say I do not care today I will eat 2 burgers with french fries tomorrow I will exercise in the gym and burn calories’’. Neither of these two choices will allow you to improve your health. Following these few rules will ease your long journey to a healthy lifestyle, and may help you avoid heart bypass surgery for the next 30 years.
