Most often than not, people run away from eating healthy because pizzas, burger, fries and the like are just too irresistible. Eating healthy is a lifestyle that only people who are determined to improve their health can stand to maintain. If you’re one of those attempting to become a health buff, a whirlpool of information is about to come your way; so which of the “facts” should you believe to achieve your goals?
Health expert and True Wellth co-founder, Matt Jager, guests on Max Dubowy’s show, Your Triumph Launch, and tells viewers of the show and readers of Huffington Post about starting healthy eating and making it a lifestyle. He says three points for people to acquire the habit of eating healthy of which choosing healthy food becomes automatic and wouldn’t require will power that often wears people out.
1. Use The Crowding Out Strategy To Start Eating Healthy.
According to Jager, you don’t have to give up your favorite food that is high in sugar, cholesterol, refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fat. You just have to add in the greens, leafy vegetables for instance, until it crowds in your stomach, becomes part of your regular lifestyle and you have no choice but to give in other food.
2. Limit The Amount Of Sugar, Alchol And Unhealthy Fat In Your Eating Lifestyle.
Eventually, you have to regulate your intake of unhealthy food. Jager says that you have to create healthy boundaries. For example, you can have a cheat day per week and/or be vegan until 6, meaning you’ll eat a healthy breakfast and lunch that will let you eat anything you want for dinner. Meeting these healthy boundaries would eventually be part of your lifestyle and would automate your future healthy choices.
3. Start To Create Healthy Lifestyle Habits.
You have to exercise, meditate for at least ten minutes a day, add greens to your meals and look at the bigger picture. Focus at the benefits of a healthy lifestyle which includes the promise of a longer life as you would block chronic diseases from developing. Once the healthy lifestyle becomes a habit, Jager stresses that eating healthy becomes second nature.
As per HelpGuide.org, eating healthy also improves a person’s mental and emotional health. Eating well lifts a person’s mood and lowers risks for mental health diseases.
So are you currently on a diet? As per Reader’s Digest, if you want to make it your lifestyle until you die, the diet plan has to be one that encourages you to exercise, allows you to dine with family and friends on an occasional dinner on a fancy restaurant, should not make you hungry and grumpy, should not be too convenient, and should not be totally incompatible with your current eating lifestyle.
Again, deciding to eat healthy is a lifestyle choice and should not just be a fad you want to try in order to lose weight. The pounds you shed will go back if you’re unsuccessful in making healthy eating a habit. So good luck with your journey to become the healthier you!
