Probably, sooner or later, each person begins to think about proper and healthy nutrition: some decide to change their diet voluntarily, abandoning harmful and useless products, others only when they "peck a cock" - at the insistence of doctors or due to some kind of illness. From the screens of TVs, pages of newspapers and magazines we are told what you can eat and what you cannot, how to count calories so as not to get better or to lose weight.
In fact, a person’s healthy diet is not only what we eat, but also how much. You must admit that a small bag can be filled faster than a large one, and with the stomach: the more it is stretched, the more food it needs to feel full, while the amount of food needed for the body is much less than actually consumed.
How to eat less? You can achieve the desired in several ways, you will need patience, desire and a certain willpower, especially at the initial stage, until you get used to the new way of eating and living.
When solving the problem, as there is less, many use the advice of friends and so on. All kinds of debilitating diets are especially popular, while nutritionists recommend quite acceptable ways to reduce portions.
- Food should be fractional. That is, everything that is planned to be eaten in a day should be divided into 4-5 servings. Moreover, the most high-calorie and fatty foods should fall in the morning, because everything you eat at this time will be digested until the evening, without being put off on its sides. In addition, a hearty breakfast is a guarantee that during the day you will be less willing to eat, respectively, the portions eaten will be less.
- Before eating, for half an hour, you need to drink a glass of plain still water. It will fill the stomach and satisfy the feeling of hunger. By doing this every time, you will not only solve the problem of eating less, but also fill the body with the necessary 2-2.5 liters of water, which in itself is useful.
- Before eating, take a walk through the fresh air, and for the most motivated and purposeful people, it is recommended to do light exercises with deep breaths and exhalations, as oxygenation dulls the feeling of hunger.
- Learn to eat from a small dish, with a small spoon, carefully chewing food and enjoying its taste - a feeling of fullness will come faster.
Psychologists say that eating food in front of a TV or computer automatically leads to an increase in the portion of food eaten, being carried away, we cease to control ourselves, and the hand automatically reaches for something tasty, so it is better to eat in silence.
- Get up from the table as soon as you have eaten, not trying to “clean” the plate to the end.
- You need to listen to your body and eat only when you really want it, and not for the company or because it's lunch time.
- Before eating, you can eat an apple. Besides the fact that it is also food, it contains fiber and improves the secretion of the stomach, which is useful in itself. Enrich your diet with vegetables, delicious salads with olive oil and fish.
Now you know how to eat less and what a healthy diet is. Start gradually putting it into practice, and the result will not be long in coming.
