There’s a common misconception out there that you need to feel hungry to lose weight. This is not the case at all. In fact if we even think you think this, we’ll be around in no time to show you plenty of food you can eat and get healthy at the same time.
But there’s no need for that, because we’re showing you the four simple ways to eat up to lose weight.
Think smart and think healthy and you’ll see big differences in no time at all.
1. Include Fruit And Veg… Always
And we do mean every meal. Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and they’re loaded with nutrients. Toss as much as you like in to your breakfast, lunch or dinner to add some serius volume to your meal. Think along the same lines when you’re snacking. Fresh produce goes a long way in filling you up but keeping your daily calorie count down. Have you ever heard the more colourful your meal, the better? And we don’t mean the packaging…
2. Fill Up On Goodness
Try not to over-eat when your main meal is served. The way to combat this habit? Fill up on goodness before you start munching in to your main course. Order a soup or salad for starters or throw together a quick salad at home. It’ll take the edge off your hunger and will mean you won’t be ravenous and ready to race a scoffing session when your food is served.
Fill up on goodness first…
3. Think Mindful Eating
Make sure you register what you are about to eat and savour every bite. Believe it or not, it works and your stomach will register it when you’ve eaten enough. The worst thing you can do is start to scoff without even taking into account what you’re eating. Satisfy your eyes first and then your stomach will follow suit.
4. Add Protein And Fat
The two elements of a meal that ensure you feel full afterwards are protein and fat. Make sure you have some on every plate. Lean meats, fish, avocado, beans and cheese are the perfect options.
