Everyone loves to be pampered with delicious food. Sushi, croissants, burgers, pastries, cakes – it’s hard to deny yourself your favorite products. Woman’s Day editorial staff and Yulia Korneva, expert on healthy lifestyles, author of the blog LIVE UP! will tell you three ways to deal with bad eating habits.
Balance your blood sugar. If you feel hungry between meals, this is a sign that your blood sugar is dropping. When it is low, you will eat everything. To balance your sugar levels, snack every 3-4 hours on something that contains healthy protein, such as seeds or nuts.
Eliminate liquid calories and artificial sweeteners. Sugary drinks are full of chemicals and sweeteners. Processed fruit juices are just liquid sugar. Try to drink only water, green or herbal tea, freshly squeezed vegetable juices.
Green tea contains substances that are beneficial to health. And don’t fall into the trap of drinking diet drinks. The artificial sweeteners they contain trick our bodies into thinking they are consuming sugar, and this triggers the same insulin release as regular sugar.
Eat healthy protein. Ideally, every meal should contain quality protein. Research shows that by regularly eating healthy proteins such as eggs, nuts, seeds, legumes, and protein-rich grains, we lose weight, stop experiencing food cravings, and burn calories. If you eat animal foods, choose whole foods (not canned food, sausages, and similar processed foods) and preferably quality meat and fish.
