Eating habits you should drop now

[FlyJ]

Eating ‘diet’ foods: ‘Diet’ foods are usually packed with lots of unwanted additives. And let’s face it, they’re just not filling or satisfying. So, they wind up taking in far more calories than they would have if they had prepared a healthy, satisfying meal. Are you in? Dump those diet products and make a fresh start.

 

Overeating healthy foods: Healthy fare like veggies, lentils, avocado and whole grains are good. But don’t eat too much. The truth is, while whole foods are nutrient-rich and enhance metabolism, you can overdo it. So, listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues, and watch your portions.

 

Skipping meals: Going long stretches without eating can create two unwanted side effects that undermine weight loss. First, you’ll likely burn fewer calories as a way to compensate for not having fuel when you need it. Second, you’ll up your chances of overeating at night, when your activity level is low. A good rule of thumb is to eat larger meals before your more active hours, smaller meals before less active hours and never let more than four to five hours go by without eating.

 

Counting calories: Aside from the fact that the quality and timing of the calories you consume is critical for weight loss success, the practice of counting calories can backfire. Calorie counting can stress you. Nobody wants that. Plus, an increase in stress can cause a spike in cortisol, a hormone known to rev up appetite, increase cravings for fatty and sugary foods and up belly fat storage.

 

Shunning good fat: Despite the best attempts of nutrition experts to dispel the notion that eating fat makes you fat, people have remained fat-phobic. But eating the right fats is a smart weight loss strategy. In addition to quelling inflammation – a known trigger of premature ageing and diseasesn including obesity – healthy fats are incredibly satisfying. They delay stomach emptying to keep you fuller longer; while plant-based fats like olive oil, avocado and nuts up appetite-suppressing hormones.
