Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Diets don’t give you healthy weight loss. Any kind of a restrictive food plan cannot work for long and when the ‘dieter’ resumes his or her normal eating patterns; the weight comes back causing guilt and unhappiness. This leads to a predictable cycle of weight loss and weight gain which most people associate with the ‘battle of losing weight’. Healthy Weight loss is a concept that espouses logic and principles of good health to help people lose weight. Healthy weight loss is not about ‘dieting’ for one day a week or some other time period. It is about making small changes in one’s lifestyle - changes that you can sustain – changes that make you a happier person and not the crabby, irritated ‘dieter’ that you used to be. This article gives you a 3 step guide on how to get started with making permanent changes for a healthier and happier tomorrow.
1. Keep a food diary: Most of us who are new to the principles of good and healthy eating don’t realize what we are overeating. So while it may sound a boring chore, it is extremely important to start writing down EVERTHING that we eat or drink and at what time during the given day. Try doing this religiously for a week. You will be amazed at the insights it throws up. You will know your ‘weak zones’ and the snacks that are denting your progress. For many people, just the act of having to note down what they eat cuts down their snacking considerably. This is because a lot of the extra eating that we do is kind of ‘mindless’ which is to say that we eat without even realizing that we are eating. Knowing that every bite will be recorded puts a sort of discipline and awareness into our eating habits which is the first step to healthy weight loss.
2. Don’t Multitask while eating: Can you remember the last time you sat alone and ate your food without talking, without any company, not even the telly. Probably not. Most of us eat in company often with our favorite program on television. We talk about our day, encourage our children to share experiences and generally treat the dining table as a meeting place. The only time many families meet is at the dining table so it’s a lot more than a place to have food – it’s a social ritual. The only problem with this arrangement is that we stop paying attention to what we are eating and concentrate on other things. This results in overeating and inadequate satiety. While we cannot be silent, we can surely shift our focus to the flavor and texture of the food that we are eating as we talk. That way people will find that they feel full with a lot less food.
3. Plan Your Food In Advance Especially Snacks: Last but not the least, make sure that you have a ready stock of healthy snacks at hand. While we all plan our three main meals well, we neglect the in-between snacks that we consume on impulse and cause a major setback to healthy weight loss.
