Making the switch to healthy diets doesn’t mean you have to throw out everything in your kitchen or pantry that has a gram of fat or added sugar. You can make some big changes that get you closer to healthy eating plans just by doing some small things.
For instance, forget the bun or bread when you’re eating something that is considered a sandwich or burger. Chicken salad still tastes like chicken salad when eaten out of a bowl or on top of a salad.
During those times that you just have to have dessert or indulge in your favorite fresh-baked brownie, make sure you have a friend around so that you can split it, instantly cutting your serving in half.
Speaking of indulgences, think of all the extras you add onto foods that are already packed with calories and sugar. Will you really miss the dollop of whipped cream if you leave it off of your pumpkin pie or blended coffee drink? Saying no to it means you are still enjoying a treat but with a little less guilt.
Forcing yourself to give up that daily afternoon soda might actually seem physically impossible, so use this cup-switching technique to cut down on your daily dose. Use a smaller cup when you drink beverages that you know aren’t good for you, and a larger cup for the drinks that have good nutrition (water, green tea, milk, etc.).
Small changes are a great way to start learning how to eat healthy. Check back later for even more tips on implementing small healthy weight loss changes.
