Description
Tame Your Sweet Tooth
Curb your cravings for sweets with fruits and stay away from sugary snacks and pastries. These treats have lots of calories and can be loaded with unhealthy fats. If the fruits and berries aren’t sweet enough for you, add just a bit of Splenda, stevia or even a tiny sprinkling of sugar. Avoid sugary sodas and try iced herbal teas or ice water with Splenda, and a slice of lemon or lime.
Things You Won’t Give Up
Do you feel like you can’t live without your chocolate? If there are foods you won’t give up, enjoy them in smaller amounts. Buy one tiny high quality piece of candy and enjoy it, but don’t buy a bag full of snacks to take with you. Limit other treats or favorite foods that aren’t healthy, maybe let yourself eat them one time per month, or search for healthier versions at natural foods markets.
Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day
If you can’t transform your unhealthy diet overnight, don’t despair. Most people can’t. Start implementing some of these ideas, even just one at a time. Every change you make will be one step in the right direction.
