Tips on switching to a healthy diet or food intake
A sexy body? that is what everybody wanted. But going into a diet is a sacrifice for some. The real thing is when we say diet; it is not exactly the same thing as starving. Having a proper diet is not a suicidal act which one tends to refuse from eating and depriving yourself from eating the food you love the most. You can also do a diet just to regulate your eating habit and control your craving. Part of a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a proper diet.
For some, going into a diet is their
way to have a sexy body. Well, in fact, that is just a bonus! Your award will
be within you. A healthy diet will make you feel great inside and beautiful
outside. You will have a good stamina and more energy. It can help you avoid
gaining excess weight and help maintain desirable body mass. It will also
affect your mind. As per researches, feeling good stabilizes a good mood and
you will feel happier and more relaxed. It will boost your self-esteem and
confidence. Most importantly, it will help you combat diseases and prolong
life. Can you imagine why people from the old times live longer than people
today? Nowadays, the usual maximum lifespan of human life is about 70 - 80 plus
as per my observation. However, there are some who died earlier due to heart
diseases, colon problems, diabetes etc. Most of the diseases are caused by
lifestyle or degenerative diseases. The body cell deterioration is increasing
gradually based on your lifestyle. Let say, if you are eating fatty food with
high cholesterol every day, then you’re more likely to have heart diseases or
hypertension over time.

| TOP 10 MOST KILLING DISEASES IN THE PHILIPPINES |
While in the ancient time, the oldest
man in the Bible lived 969 years and his name is Methuselah. In the recent
researches conducted by Gerontology Research Group or the Guinness World
Record, the longest unambiguously documented human lifespan is Jeanne Calment of France (1875-1997).Only
two people were verified oldest living men above 110 today. Sakari Momo, 111 years and 136 days and
Yasutaro Koide, 111 years and 100
days, both from Japan. The prolonged life they had might be the result of their
environment and eating habit. Decades or century ago, every food intake is all
natural, fresh from the farm and no preservatives or chemicals added. Nowadays,
we are in a fast phase generation where everything is instant. Instant noodles,
ready to eat sausages, no cook needed can goods and fast food! Imagine how much
additives and preservatives they have. Well, everything has it now, so I am not
saying DO NOT EAT THEM ALL. Since, those food are always available for us, the
only way is ALWAYS PUT EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.
SWITCHING TO A HEALTHIER DIET OR FOOD INTAKE
------ MIND SETTING ------
You are not alone, there are many
people around the world who plans and tries to go on a diet at some point of
their lives but fails to continue. The hardest part of switching to a healthier
diet is at the beginning. All you need to do as an initial process is to
realize and set your mind.
Ask yourself: What is the main reason for you
to do this or why you need to do this?
It maybe to lose weight or maybe you
are preparing for a summer beach getaway, preparing for a certain event like
wedding or honey moon or just simply inspired by the people around you. Another
reason is that, you might felt symptoms of a disease that might occur and you
want to prevent it before it become worse. Another good reason is for you to
become more confident when you are with your friends or love one. You want to
wear a dress or want to try muscle tee. You might want to prepare yourself for
parenthood. But among all of these, the best reason you need to think of is for
A HEALTHIER YOU. You need to keep in mind a positive thinking that YOU CAN DO
IT.
------Do not force yourself, do it gradually instead------
You cannot change your eating habit in
a snap. Do it gradually. If you do not take breakfast and you eat two cups of
rice for lunch plus more meat and then you eat another heavy meal for snack and
another heavy meal during dinner then you really have to do something about it.
You can transpose from above to this
sample strategy:
First Phase:
Eat heavy breakfast. Eat one cup of
rice in lunch and lesser meat and a light snacks in between lunch and dinner
and a lighter dinner. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. When you
take your breakfast, there is a guarantee that you are getting the nutrients
you need for a day.
Second Phase:
Eat lighter breakfast. Eat your lunch
with lesser servings than you have in phased one. Eat light snacks then eat
light dinner.
Third Phase: (Replacing your meal with fruits and
vegetables gradually)
Eat light breakfast, eat you light
lunch, eat a real light snacks and eat fruits as dinner.
Eat banana and milk for breakfast (It
can also be cereal or other fruits). Eat you light lunch with vegetables, try
to skip snacks and eat fruits or cereal as dinner.
Fourth Phase:
Eat fruits as breakfast. Eat light
during lunch; eat fruits or vegetables at night.
We’ll I’m not saying that this should be your program. This is very broad. There are no specified suggestions to eat. The point is, how you gradually immune your tummy not to ask for food all the time or to ask for heavy meals always. Make it a practice then a habit. Sooner, your stomach will be used to eating lighter than before. Your suggested food intake will depend on what you want. If you want to simply switch from unhealthy food intake to healthy one, then it is simpler, but if you really want to see a drastic change for a certain period of time. Well, you may need a lot of patience and effort.
------ Control your craving ------
If you want to eat a chocolate, you must first
think. Do you need this? Or you just want it? Are you hungry or you are just
craving? If you are hungry, why don’t you think of other food to eat that will
last instead of having a chocolate? If you are craving for sweet, well, you can
also look for an alternative sweet with lower percentage of calories.
As per Professor Marion Heltherington, A
craving is not a hunger. The desire does not come from stomach but from brain.
People don’t crave broccoli and cabbage. It’s more likely to be sweet or
chocolates. Food most likely craved is high energy, high calories and high fat
food. They are treat foods that are usually restricted. A classic craving is an
urge or a strong desire for a particular food. It is more than just a comfort
eating.
You know which are the right food to
eat and which are not. So it will always depend on you. Since craving is
mandated by the brain, I think you must again go back to the mind setting
points above and ask yourself why you need to control your craving.
------ Make it a Habit ------
Once you have conquered over eating too much,
craving for junk then practice that more often until it become a habit.
Eventually, that will become your lifestyle or eating habit which is far more
different from what you are eating before unconsciously.

However, being sexy is not only based on how much muscle you have or how small your waistline is. Being sexy can be felt inside and may manifest outside.
