10 Bad Eating Habits That You Must Correct At All Cost
Written: 01/04/2008
You are a little chubby, you discover that you took a few kilos… It's time to react! But before you start a diet, it is necessary to overcome your bad eating habits.
- Your breakfast is limited to a coffee.
It is difficult to keep all morning with such a breakfast! Try to make it more consistent and more palatable.
The Trick: Try our smart ways of eating healthy breakfasts in the morning.
And if you are sick of cereals, here are some great fuels to keep you going during the day.
Also some people complain that they do not enjoy breakfasts in the morning. Here is a take on how to feel like enjoying your breakfast.
- You always have with you a chocolate bar in case of a hunger pang or declining form.
Cravings are often the result of skipped meals, and they result in extremely calorie snacking.
The Trick: Try to organize your diet better. And in the case of small hunger, rather eat an apple!
- You rely on various coffee drinks during the day to keep your energy level high.
Ultimately, you multiply the calories too: two sugars in the cup, and 5 or 6 coffees a day, is already 150 to 200 Kcal added.
The Trick: Why not use the sweetener (it has become commonplace!), Or even learn to enjoy your coffee "nature"? Remember that caffeine acts on the nervous system: a good decaffeinated coffee, is also enjoyable, and less irritating!
- For lunch, it is a sandwich and a beer.
Though this meal keeps you full, it is not ideal when you want to eat well, and control your weight.
The Trick: Limit the damage! Order a ham sandwich (without butter), or tuna salads-chicken-salad (without mayonnaise). In place of beer, take a tomato juice or grapefruit juice, or better water.
- You start your meal with a salami or an egg-mayonnaise.
You know, this is not reasonable! But you do not like a salad too much…
The Trick: You can always dump the starter, and eat a piece of fruit for dessert: it is healthier! But if you do not want to give up the pleasure of eating meat or egg, opt instead for the ham - raw or cooked - fat, cheese head or ham marbling (the leaner meats), or an egg jelly (80 Kcal).
- You use the restaurant at your workplace to choose what you do not eat at home: sauerkraut, or sausage and fries.
Why not? But every day or almost every day is not a great idea when you want to lose weight.
The Trick: For now, make a cross on french fries, with sauces and preparations which are too rich. And stick to a dish of roasted or grilled meat (or fish) with vegetables.
- Your weak point: Cheese which you take with all meals.
If your portions of cheese are larger than the other portions of food on your plate, you may well have a very high total calories, not counting the large infusion of saturated fat.
The Trick: If you cannot live without cheese on your plate, better eat it only for breakfast. That way you will not be tempted to eat it afterwards. Choose a quality cheese, trying not to exceed 40 or 50 g (it is already a beautiful piece).
- You eat a lot of bread.
It is a food that provide complex carbohydrates and satisfy the appetite. There is no reason to remove it completely: continue to consume it in the morning, but reduce it in your main meals.
The Trick: Put in your plate what you will eat for lunch (2 slices instead of 4, for example), and then put away the bread basket.
- In good company, you empty easily several glasses of wine at the table.
Reserve wine for the weekends: weekdays, stick to water during meals, the drink that quenches thirst better than everything, does not distort the taste of dishes (like soft drinks) and provides no calories.
The Trick: Put on the table a wineglass and a glass of water: fill the wineglass only once, and the water glass as many times as you want!
- When you return home from work, you like to relax in front of the TV with a drink and a snack.
The problem is that you nibble at the same time a lot of high-energy things, and you often double or triple the glass, thus the amount of alcohol consumed…
The Trick: A cup of tea, a hot shower does the trick also: to relax… It is a reflex for most people to nibble something in front of the TV, but you can also decide to settle down in front of the small screen having nothing to drink or eat at your fingertips.
