Healthy Eating Habits To Cultivate For Weight Loss
1. Eat Regularly

It might seem counterintuitive to eat regularly, especially when you’re trying to lose weight but, research suggests that eating six small meals a day can help you lose belly fat.

That’s because, when the body goes about three hours or more without eating, our body goes into survival mode and the hormone cortisol rises. A high cortisol level tells the body to store fat in the abdominal part of the body.

2. Kick The Junk Food Habit

Instead of quitting cold turkey, find other ways to satisfy those cravings for junk food.

Make healthier versions for the junk food you love or find alternatives for snacks. Here are some healthy snack combinations you’ll love.

3. Stay Away From Processed Food As Much As Possible

When eating out, keep clear of foods that have been fried and processed. If you’re not sure whether your food has been heavily processed, it’s best to skip it.

Instead, opt for fresh ingredients and make special requests. Get the restaurant to put sauces or dressings on the side instead of having your food drenched in sodium-high sauces and dips.

4. Pile On The Proteins And Fibre

We all know how carbohydrates, like rice and noodles, keep us full but they also increase your blood sugar levels, making you tired and craving for more food in the middle of the day.

Instead, opt for proteins and vegetables to keep you full for longer.

5. Pass On The Sugary Drinks

If you still think sugary drinks and teas don’t count for much, you’re wrong. These drinks usually contain plenty of sugar per can or bottle and can completely throw your diet off balance.

Instead, opt for naturally flavoured water instead. Add plenty of fruits for a delicious drink.

6. Eat Breakfast

Eating breakfast helps to kickstart our metabolism and prevents us from over eating later in the day.

7. Avoid Over Eating and Over Ordering

That slab of steak might seem small initially but you’ll be surprised how filling it actually is. That said, before you decide to order more at dinner or lunch, finish up your meal and give it a while before deciding on whether you should order more.
