We all have those days when healthy eating goes awry. One meal or one day of unhealthy eating isn’t going to sabotage all your good work – unless you let it. However, you might be sabotaging it without realising, a food diary can help you get back to your healthy habits, but even if you don’t compete one – just being more mindful of what you eat can help.
- Don’t eat in front of the TV
- Sleep well – studies show less than 6 hours sleep means you’re likely to eat more calories
- Don’t drink your calories – juices, soda, alcohol – all adds up
- Not eating enough – keeping yourself hungry – you’re more likely to make up for it later!
- skipping breakfast – eat plenty of protein and you’ll stay full for longer
- Mindless snacking – because you’re bored? It’s a habit?
We all do these from time to time – make a few tweaks and you should notice the difference.
