The onset of spring makes many of us think about putting our bodies in order. And before resorting to the help of various diets, it would be more logical to reconsider your eating habits, which can lead to weight gain and poor health. What habits should you leave behind?
The habit of neglecting breakfast
To start your body and tune it to work properly during the day, you should not give up breakfast. At the same time, breakfast is not a cookie with coffee, but a full meal rich in protein and long-lasting carbohydrates. Only in this way can you hold out until lunch without the distraction of snacks. By lunchtime, hunger should be moderate, so as not to pounce on food.
Excess sugar
If you eliminate excess sugar from drinks – tea, coffee, water – you can achieve effective results in weight loss. And for the drinks to be tasty, give up instant coffee and cheap infusions. Good drinks are rich in flavor and do not require sugar. Over time, the receptors will get used and will not make you want to add a sweetener.
The habit of seizing stress
Food can help you deal with bad moods and the effects of stress. The brain gives the command – if you feel bad at heart, eat, preferably, high-calorie carbohydrate foods, which raise blood sugar levels and give quick pleasure. It is better to replace this habit with physical activity. Is it sad? Squat down or my floors. When you have no strength to fight your appetite, take vegetables or fruits.
There is everything with bread
Bread adds calories to the diet, but it is not always necessary. Eating all your food with bread is just a habit that will take some time to get rid of. The bread swells in the stomach and creates additional satiety. Better to replace it with an extra serving of vegetables rich in vitamins and fiber.
Dessert before meals
Eating dessert without the main meal is an addiction. Dessert will give a burst of energy, but at the same time, it is a rather high-calorie solution to the problem. Most often, after a full lunch or dinner, cravings for sweets disappear, and the food eaten will give energy for a longer time.
Eat on the run
Not thoughtful food on the run, endless snacks – the road to excess weight. The brain does not control the calorie content of the diet and does not have time to competently process the signals of hunger and satiety. Long breaks in food lead to the fact that the body begins to store in reserve. You need to break this vicious circle and set aside time in your regimen for full meals.
Eat before bed
A hearty evening meal before bed will ensure you have a restless night and stomach discomfort. During sleep, all metabolic processes slow down, and food digests poorly. This is especially true for heavy meat. You will have to get rid of this habit with a great effort of will.
Is at the screen
While watching a TV series or a computer game, food is absorbed much worse. Chewing and swallowing food is impaired, which leads to disruption of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The brain is distracted by a bright picture and forgets to signal satiety. This is the most common cause of weight gain and should be urgently removed.
Drink little water
Hunger is often confused with thirst. Water improves metabolism and improves the processing of food supplied to the body, improves intestinal motility. An hour before the main meal, you should drink a glass of pure non-carbonated water.
