You have filled your kitchen with healthy food and planned meals to lose weight. But your diet is still not working? You need to learn how to break bad habits to get results.
First step is to identify the behaviours that are doing the most damage. List everyday eating habits that add empty calories, unwanted fat or added sugar to your diet. It becomes easier to seek a solution and see real results on the scale.
The smartest way to change a bad eating habits is to replace it with a healthier practise that is easy and feels good. The best place to start is in the kitchen. Do you keep high calorie foods on your kitchen counter? Do you store empty calorie snack foods in eye level cabinets?
These food storage habits may encourage unhealthy, mindless eating. Here’s some healthy eating habit swaps that you can easily make:
- Store empty calorie foods in places where you are less likely to see them often
- Put chips and snacks in your lowest cabinets or way up high, so you have to work a little bit to get them.
- Clear your kitchen counters and replace the cookie jar with fruit bowl
- Do a complete refrigerator overhaul so that when you open the door to browse, the most nutritious foods are front and center.
Now it is time for you to look at your kitchen and do something about it.
