- You have heard about, “Small and frequent feeding”, right?
This is true. Who says you cannot eat often when you are trying to lose weight? You can actually eat as often as you like even if you are dieting as long as you do it with small feedings only. Eat in small portions and feel all the cravings go away. If you deny yourself in eating the food you love, your body will feel frustrated and even deprived and this will just thwart your efforts of eating well. Instead, eat small portions of anything that you want. Yes, anything! Small portions of carbs? Go! One small cupcake? Eat it!
- “Can you double the veggies, instead?”
When trying to lose weight, you should not also ban yourself from eating out at restaurants or fast foods. That is just fine as long as you do it occasionally. And, while you there, implement some healthy eating by asking if you can have your veggies doubled in place of the rice or the potato. Isn’t that healthy? You can eat more nutrients by also moderating your carbs. Another way on how you can eat better when eating out would be by sharing. So, for instance, you want to eat some dessert. Go ahead, that is no problem, but ask for some spoons for everyone in the party. This way, you get to eat that dessert craving, but in small portions only.
