Dabi from feeling hungry between meals?
It’s a familiar feeling, one that can leave you feeling frustrated, heartbroken and angry. But when you finally get into food, everything seems insurmountable, which often leads to eating.
To avoid overeating, there is a simple solution: eat well. Dieting is not about engaging in heavy, high-calorie treats that can be a second meal. Instead, it’s an opportunity to use wisdom to strengthen your body, stabilize your energy and elevate your mood. Here’s how to eat sensibly without sacrificing flavor or satiety.
Accept enough food
Swap regular meals for nutritious whole foods like whole grains, fresh fruits, nuts, beans and vegetables. These not only nourish your body but also help you meet your daily calorie goals.
Try these snack ideas:
a sandwich on whole-wheat bread with toppings like tuna, cheese, eggs or natural peanut butter;
a small serving of whole grains with milk or overnight oats;
a handful of mixed nuts and dried fruit;
creamy yogurt with some fresh fruit;
steamed sweet potato or corn on the cob;
traditional dishes like tau fu fah (soybean pudding), bubur kacang or red bean pau;
hummus dip with cut-up veggie sticks or crackers;
whole-grain crackers with cheese or a thin spread of natural peanut butter;
a refreshing smoothie. Control your parts
Choose small plates or bowls to avoid overeating. A good rule of thumb is to choose snacks that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, to ensure you’re enjoying just the right amount to satisfy your hunger. Read the signs
When eating packaged foods, pay attention to the amounts listed on the nutrition label. Stick to the recommended portions to avoid mindless snacking and consuming unnecessary calories.
Food is on the go
For busy days, prepare snacks that are easy to hold ahead. Store them in a convenient bag or individual package to avoid hunger wherever you are.
Here are some ideas for on-the-go snacks:
Stock up on unsweetened milk or soy milk and whole grain alcohol for a pre- or post-workout boost. If you want chocolate, please, milk chocolate for treatment that will not destroy the foods that have a healthy body.
Create an abundant combination of grains and proteins, the dragged fruit and mini-brethzels for salt. Remember these Dietary Guidelines
1. Don’t fall into the marketing trap
Beware of offers that tempt you to buy something you don’t want. The workstation staff at store store is famous for the promotive type of music. Get your goal and resist the motivation motivation for driving because it seems to be a good money. 2. Make it easy on yourself
If portion control is a challenge, keep snacks out of sight and within reach. Divide what you need and leave the rest in the kitchen or office cafeteria.
3. Avoid distractions
Focus on mindfully enjoying your snack, without multitasking. Being present allows you to savor each bite and helps your brain register that the snack has satisfied your hunger. By making thoughtful food choices and being mindful of portion sizes, you can fuel your body throughout the day, keeping hunger at bay and high energy levels.
So, eat well and feel good at every step!
