In today’s world, it is difficult for people to follow the rules of a healthy lifestyle, including healthy nutrition. The main rules are that you should eat food three to four times a day, snack only on salads and fruits, and drink at least 1.5-2.5 liters of water a day. But for some reason, many people do not do this. So, how to eat healthy? In fact, it’s easy, the main thing is to get rid of all the stereotypes that you often hear, and maybe follow them.
Stereotype 1. Fasting.
Many nutritionists are of the opinion that fasting is not the best way to lose excess weight. No matter how strange it sounds, but in fact it is so. After all, fasting is not based on a balanced diet, but guarantees rapid weight loss due to the reduction of fluid in the body. This is an unhealthy way to lose weight and most likely a person will quickly gain weight again.
Therefore, follow a balanced diet, do not overeat, eat small portions and take weight loss drugs such as Orligal or Xenical.
Stereotype 2. Don’t eat breakfast.
Nutritionists recommend starting your morning with a healthy and balanced breakfast. After all, your well-being throughout the day depends on how you start your morning. And in general, if you don’t have breakfast in the morning, there is a high probability that you will overeat in the afternoon, therefore, you will feel heaviness and nausea. And in general, overeating has a bad effect not only on health, but also on the figure.
If you understand and realize the importance of breakfast, but you feel that you cannot eat a complete breakfast in the morning, then you can eat fruit with yogurt first thing in the morning. And gradually add porridge, pancakes and omelets to your morning diet.
Stereotype 3. Concentrate on eating.
Often people eat while watching TV or social media on their phone. At first glance, you may not notice how harmful this habit is. But mostly people don’t control their appetite when they watch their favorite series. Because of this, addiction appears, and people can no longer imagine that it is possible to watch TV without food.
To get rid of this habit, you need to set aside half an hour for each meal. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t eat and watch your favorite talk show at the same time. If you want to combine these two pleasant things, you can prepare salads and cut fruits in advance instead of pizza, chips or cakes.
And even better, try to eat in the company of interesting and close people.
Stereotype 4. You can’t eat after 6 pm.
If you don’t follow this stereotype, your body will thank you, because nutritionists believe that too long a period between dinner and breakfast can be harmful for some people, such as those with gastritis, because it is stressful and exhausting for the body. Food should be digested before you go to bed. Therefore, experts recommend not to eat 3-4 hours before bedtime. And people with diabetes are allowed to eat 1.5-2 hours before bedtime.
