I will try that diet tip out tomorrow.
Tomorrow rolls around and suddenly I’ll try it out next Monday, after the weekend of course.
Alright how about the beginning next month?
It’s a vicious cycle, yet time and time again there’s always some reason to avoid eating healthier.
With the following simple steps from Self Magazine there are no excuses..
If you can’t grow it..don’t eat it. Sure a potato comes from the ground and an orange from a tree, but where did that Oreo come from? If only there were Oreo trees but sadly enough there aren’t. Try to stay away from processed foods and focus on unprocessed, whole foods.
If it crunches..it’s better. Crunch! Snacks that offer a big crunch like apples, snap peas, celery and nuts (so sorry no chips!) keep your mouth busy. The more you chew, the slower you eat. Simple.
Out of sight..out of mind. Watching television and then it hits you, that craving for Cheetos. You look around and you don’t have any in sight. Be realistic are you really going to miss an episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8 to head to the store. Chances are no, so don’t keep an emergency stash in your house. You are better off without!
Do judge by the cover. When you have to make your way through layers of packaging and plastic to get to your meal, it likely to be unhealthy. Research also indicates that perfluorochemicals in food containers may lower fertility.
Work it girl. Yes you can inhale your dinner straight from the McDonald’s bag but if you are aiming for something healthy you need to work for it. I’m talking a little chopping, sauteeing, grilling, rinsing. When you prepare your own meals you can enjoy every bite knowing exactly what is going into your meal and you can make conscious choices of what to include.
