We have plenty of reason for every bad choice we make every day: "I have bad parents", "No one tells the truth to me," "That's me." The sad fact that we think is that all of these reasons justify our actions. But when it comes time for us to choose our diet, we find that it's more about having a bad habit than a legacy environment that stimulates the bad behavior.
True, we can inherit bad eating habits from our parents or a bad diet that has been long we live, but we have many options these days to eat healthily. If we want to change where we are going, it starts with the choices we make today yng. I know there is a sentence that contradicts the advice in every place that you meet, and know what to do can be so complications. Here I offer simple tips to help you make positive health choices.
Start Eating In Dining Room Tables
Our tendency today is to eat out of the office, on the couch, or out of stock we carry. As the result is we eat more. Why? Because we eat whatever we think is delicious, eating with a number of more and sometimes we eat directly from bowl or food container - without restrictions or limits the number of servings, eat free - All You Can Eat.
If you take the time to sit at the table, you will be more aware of your portion sizes. You can talk with families, not racing to finish a meal. Attended events in your area, and if you like, you will have the opportunity to set the background music to make mealtimes more relaxed.
Redeem Plate Lunch With Dinner Plate
This is what I often do. When you use a smaller plate, your eyes will see more food - this is true! If our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, why we are not deceived? During this time I was put in mind that I have to eat everything on my plate because someone somewhere is experiencing a famine. This led me to eat a plate full of food and as a result I eat more calories than I need. So today I put on a smaller plate and the plate was full, but not completely full.
Lowering Tempo
Do you find yourself eating to get something into your stomach? Looks like you eat fast because eating activity has become a function and not a single experience. I have heard the statement: "Linda, my life was too painful for me to have my food". I assure you, we are indeed living the life of high tempo, but the meal with a high tempo will deliver us to the grave faster.
When we choose to take 15-20 minutes for breakfast, we find ourselves satisfied with eating less food. Set the fork down between bites of food while you taste the food will make you catch your mind and condition your stomach full sensation will be felt more quickly. Taking the time to really chew your food will help the process rather than kiss her eat better.
I am the worst person in terms of function rather than eat to enjoy the eating experience. However I have found a few years ago, if I really thought about what I eat (not in an obsessive way) and quiet as I do, the digestive process can be improved. Nothing that causes flatulence as well as swallowing eat quickly.
I guess this means we need to make time, not just take the time to eat. Even if you are one of the many people who choose to eat less but as much as six times a day, do it calmly and enjoy.
Portion sizes Hand Handful
If you set everything in place but choose to eat mounds of food, you lose the benefit of all. Portion size is key, and the easiest way to find out where you begin and end is to look at the palm of your own hands. Open up the palm of your hand - minus the fingers, that's your meal. Are we talking about eating meat, vegetables, or bread, this concept will keep us from excessive portion sizes.
Again, make it into something fun! When your kids are middle to fill their plates (the younger the child - the better for you to try it - of course, made sense here), remind them to look at the palm of their hands and seeing how close what they take with these portions. Hold in mind that when your children are grown, you do not want to restrict their diet as adults do.
You can use the 'method Segengam Hand' with family members and encourage them to put different colors in their dishes - from vegetables, salads, pasta, sweet potatoes and of course plus cheese macaroni, although there are few places to put them. Seek balance.
Out of Sight, Out Of Mind
The final step is to remove the tempting foods that cause you to feel tempted. As an adult, you control what is available at home for your family eat. Slowly try to replace foods that are not good choices for your health with good food for health. Still keep the freshness of fruit and vegetables in the refrigerator. Replace white bread with something that contains whole grains. Limit use of salt, sugar, coffee, and alcohol that you have.
Encourage a healthy life with the youngest family members by letting them help you clean the kitchen. Look at everything that you eat regularly and check list. If the first is the sugar content - immediately get rid of! It might surprise "family meal system", so do it slowly. Start with one or two items. Clean and then replace it with something healthy. Let your children choose healthy items. If it becomes part of the process, they will be easier to welcome those changes.
Small steps to a healthier life can be fulfilled if you keep your eye on the source of strength.
