Here are a few simple tips to keep you eating healthy always.
First and foremost, eat when you are hungry. Munching snacks while watching the TV and lunches spilling over the laptop keyboard sound familiar, right? Be mindful of your hunger and to feed the hunger consciously.
If you are thirsty, choose to drink water over anything else. Water not only does the job, it has zero calories. Just cutting down on sweetened beverages can help people lose lots of excess weight and cut down the dangers of too much sugar consumption, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, to name a few.
Make the vegetable your main focus in every meal. Usually, it is the carbohydrate, like rice or roti that is eaten most. Instead of roti and sabji, think sabji and roti. There is fibre, antioxidants, minerals and so much nutrient density in vegetables. Do not miss out.
Remember, just because the label says fat free or sugar free, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is healthy. There`s a simple guide to estimating portion control with your hands. Protein or meat should not be larger than the size of your palm. Eat only as much carbs as will fit in your fist. The size of your thumb is a good way to measure oil or fat. Open your palms and join them together, and you have a measure for vegetables. And dessert should be roughly a finger length. If your body has gradually gotten accustomed to the supersize culture, train it to accept normal quantities of food using these tricks. Using a small plate to eat food also helps.
