Top 5 Diet Tips to Change Your Eating Habits

Few more months and it's Christmas once more.
I could just imagine how various festive activities like parties and reunions would pack up the pounds without us knowing it.
I was able to find an article about preventive maintenance for our diet by Gold's Gym Nutrition Director Brian Rosental on changing bad eating habits to help shed pounds.
Loved this!



1. Turn off the TV and eat at the table. Take a moment before eating to acknowledge having the food you have in front of you and slowly appreciate each bite. This will reduce the tendency to overeat.

2. Get the snacks off your desk or coffee table. "Studies have shown over and over, we will eat it just because it is there," says Rosenthal.

3. Forget the diet fads and meet with a dietician or a Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist. Every body is different and what your body needs will be different from your friends, family and colleagues.

4. Eat every three to four hours whether you are hungry or not! By eating small amounts all day, you burn more calories digesting, keep your blood sugar levels normal, reduce cravings and reduce the chance of breaking down muscle.

5. Always have protein when you have carbohydrates. Because protein takes longer to digest, you are less hungry as often.

Rosenthal tells his clients that a healthy lifestyle is an ongoing, moving forward process. "Your body is the way it is based upon a complicated string of events in your past that have resulted in how you are now," said Rosenthal. "Think about your health for a moment. The thought is now in the past. What you do moving forward determines what your health is and will be in the future. That being said, it is important to discover what your body needs in terms of fats, proteins and carbohydrates-and then implement a plan!"
