Losing 30 percent of your portions won’t make that much of a difference when it comes to your hunger, but it will save you a significant number of calories by the end of the day. Eat smaller meals more frequently. If you wait too long in between meals, your blood sugar will plummet and make you more likely to overeat at your next meal. Instead, aim for smaller meals five to six times a day. This also will allow your body enough time to process and burn the food consumed instead of storing it as fat because you’re eating more than your body can use. Wait at least 10 minutes before getting a second serving. You might realize you’re not that hungry after all. Sip water or seltzer during that time, as this helps fill you up and fights dehydration, which sometimes can be confused with hunger. Eat only when you’re hungry. Avoid eating out of boredom, stress or other emotions. If you plan on snacking while watching TV, serve yourself a portion of popcorn or pretzels in a bowl, rather than eating out of the bag. It’s easy to lose track of how much you’re eating when you’re eating out of a large package or container. Add lots of fiber to your diet. Fiber bulks up your meals and fills you up but has the advantage of containing few calories. Leafy green vegetables are especially high in fiber, but all vegetables and fruits are a good source. Don’t overdo it. If you give in to a craving and have a piece of chocolate cake, it doesn’t mean that your diet is ruined and you should eat everything you want for the rest of the day. Finish your cake, but choose healthy food choices for the rest of the day. remember.
bhappy-bhealthy: this should be a venn diagram.. or a circle.. because I think people who eat healthy, balanced meals sure wouldn’t mind a piece of pie for dessert. :)
