Oct 2, 2009
Each new season started with high hopes, after the holidays or the beginning of the year we say that now is the time to really look after our food. But over time we lose that energy and you may even forget our plans. I will share with you some tricks to get back on track and starting to feel like never before.
1. Say goodbye to diets - So much for changing diet each month, to follow a different regime of a different magazine or why it worked to a friend. It is not eating a certain way for 15 days and then return to our routine pre-cooked and too much junk food.
The correct approach is to think of healthy food in positive terms. Healthy food must not be confused with boring food, instead, can be tasty, provides nutrients and improved welfare. Think of all you can eat delicious and certainly do not get obsessed with what you should not eat.
2. Verde que te quiero verde - Move on to the green is not only good for the planet but for your body. Divide your plate into quarters and see that at least half are green vegetables, the greener the better. For example, lettuce is good but may vary and make a salad of spinach, broccoli eat fried, grilled artichokes, the options are almost endless.
3. Much better with a plan - Like most things in this life will get better results by following a plan. If you improvise or act according to what we want at every moment, it is most likely to fail. We're all very busy but you only need 15 minutes on Sunday or any day at the end of the week to plan meals all week. In this way you'll know what to buy in the supermarket and what to prepare in advance.
4. Something sweet - If you're an amateur to the sweet and need at least a little in the afternoon. Why not seek a healthier option than a muffin or a chocolate bar? We propose a fiber-rich whole-grain crackers and low-sugar or vegetables such as squash or sweet potatoes in the oven. Other options include dried fruits like dried figs or dates that give us vitamins and minerals.
5. Take it calm, do not be too hard on yourself. When you are longing for change and get results quickly, just by not having enough patience and left the project prematurely. So our advice is do not judge yourself, adapts and changes gradually if you're wrong, nothing happens, just restart. Think positively and live your life, and you'll see how you get what you want.
Eating a healthy and balanced is essential for good health. Remember that to achieve your goals do not have to deprive yourself of everything or have an iron will. Take the opportunity to make small changes in your diet, introduce more whole grains, fruits and vegetables and go reducing products that we provide only empty calories. You will discover that foods you can get fit and live better.
