Planning Your Diet

We
have plans for everything these days. That is how we can fit 100
different things into each day. While to an extent this seems a
bit over doing it, some things do need to be planned. I don't know
why we don't plan our diets. I mean, we plan everything else. Some
people even plan on when they will have sex. Hence, the birth of
hump day. Why not spend a few minutes and plan out what you will
eat? If you are reading this, you have the time so. So sit back
and follow these seven easy steps. Don't blink, if you do it will
be over. It is really that simple.
Mini meals are great.
They tell people with certain disease that they should eat several
small meals each day. They say that a person should eat something
every two hours. Well, that isn't too impossible to do. I would suggest
that you start out every four hours. Keep it like you normally would
any of your other meals. Make sure you have your protein and your
fiber. Have some veggies and some fruit to balance everything out.
Don't make your mini meal a bucket of fried chicken. I know that since
it is a mini meal, the temptation doesn't seem as great. I mean, if
you only slip up in a mini meal, who is watching?
These are a great way to avoid hunger and improper snacking throughout
the day. Just make your mini meals up and eat them every time that
you have planned. If you plan on eating every two hours, every two
hours it is. It doesn't take a road map to figure this out.
2. Don't go over board.
This is easier said than done. You need to have a specific amount
that you are trying to reduce. If you are trying to reduce your meals
by 10%, then you should stick to that. I'm not suggesting that you
break out the calculator and count up every meal that you have. If
you have been on a diet for very long, you already have a good idea
how many calories things have. Don't eat with your eyes, eat with
your mind. That will help you cut down on the amount of food that
you eat. Eat good tasting food.
From time to time let yourself go. Eat something that you know you
shouldn't. If you get it out of your system, it will be easier to
maintain your diet. If on the other hand you don't allow yourself
to eat things you shouldn't from time to time, all you will do is
hurt yourself in the long run. You are going to nibble each day on
those things instead of just eating them occasionally. Eat
your calories, don't drink them.
Don't fill up on sodas and other drinks. You can get all your calories
for one day in these if you do it too much. A few sodas here. A few
cups of hot chocolate there. A few beers here. You get the point.
That will put on the pounds easily. Exercise.
You need to do this to keep fit. Not only will it keep you fit, but
it will keep you mentally sharp as well. That can go a long way in
helping you stick to a diet. If you are depressed, chances are you
will end up eating fatty foods that will make you fat. When you consume
all of that fat, it will make you more depressed. It is a bad cycle
to start. Make your meals last.
Chew your damn food son! I bet you heard that one as a kid. Well,
it is true. Don't swallow your food. Instead, eat it slowly and enjoy
the taste of it. If you do this, it will make you feel like you have
actually ate something. If you swallow it down, you won't get the
same benefit. You will continue to feel a void. Discover
your food triggers.
We all have these. When was the last time you went grocery shopping
and you looked at a bag of cookies and realized that you had to have
them? I do this sort of thing all the time. You need to understand
what foods trigger your response system. If you can do this, you can
avoid situations that will make you eat things that you shouldn't
eat.
Well, that wasn't so bad was it? There is no need to flip out when
it comes to a diet plan. It is simple and easy. Just like anything
in life, you should have a plan before you begin to do whatever it
is that you are doing. The same is true with your diet. |
