Easy Tips To Change Your Diet
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.
When you constantly eat unhealthy food, it will shorten your life span and also cause an impact on your quality of life as you may be afflicted with various health conditions that require constant medical attention. So, here I would like to share some steps on how you can change your diet for the better without depriving or 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. Eating out - many people do not cook because they do not have the time to cook or simply because they are not interested in cooking. Whatever the reason, when eating out, you always have the choice of going to a healthier place to eat rather than going to a fast food place. Choose a restaurant that offer healthy options like salads and grilled dishes. If you do not like salads, you can choose mains like chicken that are grilled or roasted but not deep-fried. Also stay off the skin! The best is to go for grilled fish with a side of steamed vegetables and yes, hold the mashed potatoes or fries. Instead, asked for baked potato with dressing aside.
3. When you go to parties or during celebrations - parties and holiday seasons like Christmas means there are loads of goodies to try such as cakes, cookies, pastries and high-fat foods. Instead of depriving yourself completely of these goodies, you can choose to eat less. This means you can eat those goodies but do with with moderation in mind. You can eat the chocolate cake but keep it to a small slice and do not go for seconds. The same goes for the other food, keep it all at smaller portions. Instead, you fill up on salads and fruits first before going for the mains and desserts. This way, you tend not to overeat.
You don't really need to be counting calories but as you slowly reduce your portion size and add in more healthy vegetables and fruits, you will find the pounds slowly dropping away. The best part is that you are not even depriving yourself but just cutting back and changing some of the foods for healthier alternatives. Try it and you will see the results! - 17274
