Beginner tips on where to start the path to being healthy?! 🍎⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
✔ Get rid of junk food! Having junk food in the house when you are trying to make a change makes it harder to stick to a healthier diet. Cutting things that are fatty, sugary, greasy will hugely help with your initial fat loss. Pop is a main one, if you drink a lot, try to limit it to one diet pop a day.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
✔ Drink lots of water! This will flush toxins and it will also make you feel fuller which will help prevent binge eating.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
✔ Eat small meals more often. A lot of us are busy or just don’t even think about fitting food in as a priority. Although, I know when I go a long period of time without eating, that’s when the hangry kicks in and I am ready for a buffet! These are the times when you go for easy options instead of what you had planned and probably end up enhaling your food within minutes which usually makes you keep overeating because there wasn’t even enough time to make yourself feel full. A good recommendation is to have a snack every 2-3 hours!

✔ You also want to pick more nutrient dense foods. It looks like I eat a ton in a day but for example, an omelet and toast can equate to the same amount of calories as a few cookies. The difference being one is providing nutritional value and the other is not lol and you will still be hungry after the cookies.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

✔ Start small and don’t overdo it- I see so many people start a fitness regimen and change their whole lifestyle all at once, then they get frustrated because it’s too hard to maintain. Make a small change, and another, and so on. You’ll start getting used to the things you changed and it will become the new normal. Acquiring sustainable eating habits that you can hold onto in the long run will pay off more than a fad diet that usually eventually leads you back to your old habits.
