12 Diet Hacks

12 Diet Hacks

Little tweaks to your diet can drastically improve your health and waistline even though these tips might seem like small, easy changes, the results of putting them into practice can add up!

Re-charge your eating habits with these hacks:

1. Avoid dieting. Everyone has a diet, but that doesn’t mean you must be on a diet. Being on a diet suggests that it’s only temporary. No matter what diet you might follow, at some point, you will revert to your eating habits once the diet is over.
   
   
   • Instead of going on a diet, tweak your current eating habits until you have something that gives you the desired results and is easy and healthy to follow forever.
     
     
2. Change slowly. You might want to change everything simultaneously, but that strategy usually doesn’t work well. Instead, improve your diet a little each week. This method will be easier to stick with, and you’ll have a healthy diet before you know it.
   
   
3. Go vegetarian a day or two each week. In most cases, vegetarian diets are healthier and lower in calories. Y it a couple of days each week. You’ll lose more weight and be healthier.
   
   
4. Get the junk food out of the house. If it’s in the house, you’ll eat it sooner or later. The solution is to get rid of all of it. Give it away or throw it in the trash.
   
   
5. Keep plenty of healthy snacks readily available. If your snacks are healthy, you can feel free to eat. If you’re eating healthy food, you can get away with eating more. You’ll never go hungry again!
   
   
6. Drink water— Juices are often high in sugar or chemical sweeteners. Give your body the water it craves, and it will reward you with better health – all the way down to the cellular level. An added plus is that drinking plenty of water helps keep you from consuming excess calories.
   
   
7. Take your lunch—most things available in restaurants are not very healthy. Ordering a salad can also be challenging when your coworkers o bacon cheeseburgers. You will be healthier and save money if you take your lunch.
   
   
8. Eat nuts. Nuts are an excellent source of healthy fats and protein. Mions call for 1 ounce of nuts daily, about 15-20. Watch out for the salt, and don’t eat too many since their calories will add up with large servings.
   
   
9. Eat berries. Berries are super-healthy and can make other things taste better. Put some berries on your oatmeal or yogurt. Try to eat some every day.
   
   
10. Get your fiber. Unless you eat beans regularly, it’s highly unlikely that you’re getting all the fiber you need. Track your diet and see how much you’re consuming. Consider a fiber supplement if you don’t seem to be able to eat all that you should.
    
    
11. Exercise a little. Even a small amount of exercise can have positive benefits and curb your hunger. Move around enough to increase your heart rate for at least a few minutes daily.
    
    
12. Bake, don’t fry. Besides being fattening, oils heated to very high temperatures can be very unhealthy. You can learn to love baked foods with the right herbs and spices. Savor the flavor without the calories!
