1. Conquer your worst urges by planning ahead of your meals. Use weekends to shop and stock some healthy snacks. Stocking up in this way can help you avoid high-fat, high-sugar snacks at the last minute. Remember, even a few fried chips can affect your waistline.
2. Too many cups of caffeinated drinks, such as tea and coffee, can be avoided through efficient planning. Such drinks are diuretics and can cause an increase in the excretion of vitamins and minerals from the body through urine. The caffeine in these drinks can also cause some people to experience agitation or acidity. A healthy alternative would be lemon or ginger tea. Laban, detox water and coconut water are good options too - not to mention, herbal teas that are easily available in the market today in various flavours.
3. Shop wisely by checking out food labels. Knowledge should always be welcomed and is fruitful. Opt for lean protein foods with low sodium. Try and select foods with not more than 150-200kcal per serving and more than 5 gms of fibre per serving. A protein and fibre combo will help you feel full and satisfied.
4. Eat mindfully. Enjoy the food you eat. People with sweet tooths should try to substitute sweets with fruits. Drinking a glass of water after your meal sends an indication to your body that the meal is over and thus helps you overcome your sweet cravings. Distract yourself, if you must, as boredom can lead to overeating.
5. Seek professional help. Ask your dietician or nutritionist how many calories you should have each day. They can also help you choose snacks that will help you maintain your calorie intake.
