Eating Smart- Guidelines For Healthy Dieting
For those who really wish to lose weight,
it helps even if they can make small but significant changes in their daily life. One
doesn't necessarily have to go on a stringent diet…just being aware of what you are
eating helps a lot! You must…
Make changes gradually. Don't try to do everything all at once. It will take longer
to lose weight when you are following a correct weight loss plan, but you will be able to
keep the weight off permanently.
Always set a realistic target to lose weight. It is always better to lose weight
gradually rather than drastically. A drastic weight loss program results in loss of water
and precious tissues from your body instead of fat. Aim to lose ½ kg (1.1 lbs.) every
week and not a drastic 5 kgs (11.0 lbs.) a week. Walk two blocks at first, not 2 miles.
Success will come more easily and you will be motivated to continue!
Do not skip your meals, as you will be tempted to binge on high calorie snacks and
end up putting on weight rather than losing it. Eat your meals regularly!
Do not eat your meals in a hurry. No matter how packed your schedule is, don't get
tempted to grab a sandwich and eat on the run. Your body will absorb more nutrients if you
take the time and sit down, relax and enjoy your meals. Resting quietly for 5 or 10
minutes afterwards will give your body an opportunity to digest.
Listen to your hunger pangs. Most of the times we tend to overeat without realizing
how hungry we are. It is always better to chew your food properly, as chewing helps in
better digestion and also gives you enough time to know how hungry you are and when you
have reached your satiation levels.
Don't reach out for second helpings. Serve yourself at one time, sit down and
relish your meal. That's the best way to reduce temptations and monitor how much you eat. |
