1. Eating Big With Your Group
When dining out with friends or
with a big group of people, definitely we need to order more. We think to
ourselves, “well, I’m eating small portions of everything so it’s not so bad.”
Think again! Studies have shown that when we eat with large groups of people we
tend to eat around 40% more as well. I guess, we get excited and start
consuming more. Not that you should stop hanging out with friends, but change
the habit of over-indulging when with large groups of people. Moderation is
key.
2. You
Aren’t Ordering First
When dining out with a big
group, place your order first. Why? Well, some studies have shown that people
tend to order similarly when in large groups. If you start of by choosing
something healthy, then the rest will follow.
3. Diet Soda
Drinkers
Zero-calorie drinks have become
a hit because it seems to be the better choice. However, according to experts,
that is not the case at all. Diet soda actually has the same effect as sugar
when it enters your body. It triggers insulin which then results in the body
storing fat thus the weight gain. Also, have you noticed how artificial
sweetened drinks are a lot sweeter than actual sugar. Over time, our taste buds
get so used to that flavour that we start to dislike less sweeter food, like
fruits.
4. Not
Practicing Mindfulness In Eating
Because life has become so fast
paced, so have our meals. We rush into breakfast, grab a quick lunch and work
over our dinners. This is not practicing mindfulness at all and actually causes
us to gorge instead of eat.
Practice enjoying every meal.
Watch out for the scents and textures of your food. Savour the taste. It is not
really dieting but taking your time while you eat. Chew before swallowing.
5. Social
Media
The time we spend liking posts,
watching online videos or editing our own images is time spent resting. Now, we
have nothing against that except one question please, how much of your day is
spent doing that?
Spend your time wisely. Get up
and make your own videos. Experience life so you have something to post about.
Point is, you need to start being active.
6. Not
Having The Right Tea
Definitely not the iced tea you
buy in packets, add to water and ice. A cup of tea is the best drink you can
give your body. Green tea, for instance, is filled with vitamins and is a very
powerful antioxidant. Chamomile tea has powerful calming effects and helps the
body get good rest which is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Search up the different kinds
of tea you can add to your daily diet and start brewing.
7. Your Full
But You Forget
Being mindful at all times is
key. When eating, it is best to focus on just eating. Don’t be watching tv, or
talking to a friend, or even doing work. We need to be present in the moment,
enjoying the food we eat so we don’t miss out on our body informing us that we
are actually getting full. This is what happens many times and we end up
stopping right when we feel we’re in a coma. Key is to eat at a slower pace and
have smaller bites.
Be present. Be mindful. Enjoy.
8. You Got
Trapped!
The home is a wonderful place
to be in. True. BUT…it is full of hidden traps that can get us at any time if
we are not careful. Especially when the hunger pangs hit, watch out for the
open bag of chips or leftover lasagne that’s calling your name out loud. Choose
what you eat wisely.
A good plan would be to involve
the people you live with in your diet process. They could be powerful tools
that could help you achieve your goal. They could give you encouragement when
you need them and help you keep away from those traps.
9. You
Should Go And Love Yourself
Love yourself now. It is the
best disposition you can have and can actually be the push you need to get you
to the dream body you want.
When we’re on the process of
dieting, many discouragements can come your way – the scale isn’t giving you
the numbers you expected or the dress is still a bit too tight. Loving yourself
at every point of the journey is the best way to fight the blues. You can
remind yourself of how far you’ve come and why you want to keep moving forward.
10. Why
Aren’t You Showering?
Taking care of yourself and
rewarding yourself with long, hot baths is the best expression of loving
yourself. Keeping yourself clean and groomed promotes happiness and peace and
encourages you to even love yourself more. If you aren’t enjoying your bath
time, you aren’t doing it right.
Spend more time caring for
yourself and indulge your mind and body more.
