Top Three Healthy Eating Tips

Fitness experts agree that movement and nutrition go hand-in-hand. No amount of movement can combat what you put in your mouth if excessive and mindless eating is a factor in your lifestyle, so dieticians recommend using a few simple tips to help cut the cravings.

1 – Set a water consumption goal and make this a priority

Did you know that thirst can create hunger-type cravings. By concentrating on water over food, you’ll find yourself eating less as your body will be well hydrated, resulting in less cravings and less room for large portions.

2 – Set eating time alerts on your phone

Mindless eating and grazing have become a way of life, with food often focusing on convenience over nutrition. Diabetics who have to take blood sugar readings two hours after completing a meal often find they naturally drop weight, because during that two-hour window there’s no snacking allowed.

3 – Cut down on sugar

There is enough natural sugar found in fruits and vegetables that you don’t need to add extra sugar into your day. Try cutting the sugar from your beverages, learn to bake with sugar-free alternatives and replace sweets and icecream with fruit and low-sugar frozen yoghurt.
