HOW TO FIX YOUR BAD EATING HABITS???




Eating Habits can be defined as ,” the way a person or group eats, considered in terms of what types of food are eaten, in what quantities, and when”. Bad Eating Habits are your absurd food choices, over-eating issues and your inconsistent meal timings.


Unhealthy choices are the biggest hurdle in our fitness goals. It narrows our ability to lead an active lifestyle and causes some severe health issues. Now it’s not easy to change any habit overnight. You have to put in a lot of effort to make these changes. You need to plan your meals in such a way it easily mends with your daily routine.


Here are few points you need to keep in mind to fix those habits:


    1. Never skip your breakfast: The most obvious and basic solution. We all know how important the first meal of the day is. And we always have some lame excuses to skip them. Now you don’t need a platter of delectable meal on your table in the morning. That’s practically not possible to have a full meal. Have a small but healthy meal. A meal which has all the nutritional value your body requires. If you don’t have time to prepare in the morning, half prepare it in advance a night before. Breakfast gives you that energy you require to sustain all day and skipping them triggers over eating unhealthy stuffs.

    2. Lock those trigger foods away: Trigger foods are those foods which you can endlessly binge on. Foods like- chips, cookies, junk foods etc. Swap them with nuts, fruits and veggies. Now, it’s hard to avoid those tempting foods when you are at a public gathering.  Don’t try to completely eliminate them from your diet. You can indulge in your favourite foods in moderation as special treats, maybe once or twice a week but not every day.



     3. Be creative with healthy foods:  The way healthy foods are presented to us as boring and tasteless is slowly fading away with people, but it’s still a long way to go. There would be days you don’t feel like having fruits or having grilled veggies. Mix those fruits with yogurt and make a quick healthy and tasty smoothie. Add nuts, seeds and fruits to your simple bowl of oats. Make a wrap out of those steam veggies, there are endless and simplest ways to be creative with food you don’t need to be a chef for that.


     4. Be smart with post dinner snacking: Late night snacking never falls into the good snacking category and is usually driven by cravings or habit rather than genuine hunger. You mostly crave for something sweet or salty or for a high calorie food or drink. First, of all you have to make sure you had a good dinner which was balanced and nourishing. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to over eat in large quantity. Go for roasted nuts or a small piece of fruit or dark chocolate. Your midnight snack should always be easy to digest so you can have a nice and proper sleep.



     5. Seek an expert advice: The main reason you have a bad eating habit is that you aren’t sure what food is good for you and what’s not. You are always conflicted what to go for. Food items you feel are good for you actually isn’t and the food you usually avoid is actually good for you. If you are having this issue its better to seek an expert advice. Seek advice from a genuine and well known nutritionist or dietician; they will help you in long term.


Sticking to your regular eating habits won’t take you places. If you’re really serious about your diet and you want to reach your fitness goal you need to get out of your comfort zone and take some harsh decision. The worst part is you might not even realize what you’re doing to your body if you stick to your regular habits.
