Healthy Eating Habits for Healty Weight Loss!

For many people, eating habits are tied to other daily activities – some people find it almost impossible not to eat while watching TV, for example. Many people are also conditioned to eat in response to certain emotional triggers, such as boredom, loneliness, fatigue, anger or anxiety. These habits can be extremely difficult to break, and the only way to go about it is form new habits through daily repetition.

While reisisting the pull of a familiar eating habit can be very difficult the first time around, it becomes progressively easier, and within a month or so of consistent effort it can be replaced by a
healthier habit. In weight-loss circiles, this strategy has come to be known as "behavior modification." The following tips can be used to help kick unhealthy eating behaviors:

•Eat at least four meals per day, spaced about three to four hours apart, in order to keep your metabolism elevated. Avoid skipping breakfast, and make your meals either about equal in size or decreasing a bit in portion size as the day goes on – dinner should never be your largest meal of the day.

•Eat slowly, putting down your fork in between bites and not picking it up again until you have swallowed; chew each bite of food at least 10 times before swallowing.

•Settle on one place at home (or at the office) and try to eat all of your meals there as much as possible. This alone can help prevent mindless snacking in the kitchen or at your desk.

•Eat mindfully – avoid engaging in any other activities, such as watching television, working or talking on the phone at the same time.

•Avoid storing food anywhere in the house except for the kitchen. Keeping snack foods like cookies in plain view on the counters can encourage snacking – put them away in a pantry cupboard.

•When shopping, make a detailed list beforehand and stick to it. Avoid buying junk food and try to replace it with healthier alternatives without sacrificing flavor.

•When eating family meals, try to keep the serving dishes in the kitchen rather than placing them in the middle of the table.

•Use smaller plates: Studies have demonstrated that the same size portion on a smaller plate actually appears larger, and this can help you avoid overeating.

•Make a habit of not entirely cleaning your plate, even if you just leave one bite of everything behind. Most people are condiditoned to eat until their plate is clean, rather than when they feel full, and this can help correct that habit.

All of the techniques above can be helpful in ditching unhealthy eating routines and establishing new,
healthier habits. These techniques also a must for a successful and healthy weight loss plan!
