Easy Tips To Change Your Diet

By Selene Foong

Having a healthy body in a time when fast food is easier to grab and junk food available everywhere is a difficult job. It is pretty difficult to try to make a choice between delectable cakes and sweets compared to healthier foods like fruits and vegetables.

It is always pretty easy to grab fast food as sustenance when on the go without thinking about the consequence of what it does to your body. So, when one has to choose between a delicious burger and a plate of fresh green salad, many will choose the burger. Eating unhealthy food all the time will cause obesity and also other health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease.

Having an unhealthy eating lifestyle will not only shorten your life span but also cause you to have a lower quality of life as you will be suffering from various health conditions that require regular medical attention. In order to avoid that, here are some tips you can follow to change your eating habits for a healthier you without starving yourself.

1. When eating on the go - it is when you are in a hurry and need a quick bite, you are more likely to go for chips or a fast food burger. Instead of doing that, why not choose to go for a healthy sandwich which is easy for a quick bite and importantly, healthier than a burger. Go to places like Subway and choose wholemeal bread and non-greasy fillings like turkey breast or tuna. As for the sauces, avoid mayo but go for healthier ones like olive oil or italian dressing.

2. Eat out rules - if you don't cook because you don't have the time or don't like to cook, that does not mean you don't have a choice over what you eat. Eating out also means you have a lot of choices to make and you can always choose to go to a place with healthy options rather than go to a fast food place. You can always choose to go to a restaurant or cafe that offers salad choices and grilled mains. Instead of going for deep fried food, always choose grilled, broiled and even stir-fried mains like chicken and fish. Also remember to ask for extra greens and instead of mashed potatoes and fries, do choose baked potatoes with the 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 do not have to count calories at all but just to reduce your meal portions and eat more greens and fruits. This way, your pounds will slowly drop away as your body adjust to the healthy foods. You will not be starving your body but instead, eating healthily and giving your body the nutrition it needs from healthy foods. Try these steps and see the difference. - 17269
