Tips to avoid various "traps" of unhealthy foods
During holidays and recreation
The temptation to eat unhealthy foods is most often when you are on vacation, and the most difficult to avoid. No wonder if the holidays actually make weight gain. Don't panic first.
You can still enjoy your vacation without worrying about the scales, how come! The key is to pay close attention to what you consume during your vacation. We recommend that you bring your own snacks that you have prepared in advance from home. Also make sure not to miss meals, so you don't snack or overeat at a later time. Is the food you eat during the holidays provided by the restaurant? If yes, can you divide the appetizers and covers to keep the meal portion?
Apart from sorting out good and bad food consumed during the holidays, you also have to make sure if your body is still active. For example, take time for physical activities, such as walking or swimming in a hotel pool or garden.
During family gatherings
In some traditions, large family gatherings during holidays can turn into a feast that lasts from morning to night. Well, so you don't get stuck, make sure you eat these foods in small portions. In essence, always try to avoid overeating every time there is a family meeting.
Don't forget to ask for your family's support. The reason is, family members like grandfather, grandmother, aunt, and uncle also have a big effect on your success in implementing a healthy diet! Ask for their participation to help maintain a healthy diet when family gatherings take place. This can be done by asking them to serve healthy food such as fresh vegetables and fruit rather than fried foods or coconut milk whenever there is a family meeting.
When snacking in empty time
After going home from school, work, or other activities, usually someone will feel stressed and bored so they will tend to look for snacks. Unfortunately, these snacks that are consumed often are unhealthy foods. Whether it's toast, chocolate, cookies, or sweet cakes.
Generally, people who are fond of snacking will choose any food that is easiest to eat without waiting for a long time. Well, so as not to be tempted to eat unhealthy foods, keep all types of unhealthy foods in a closed place that is difficult for you to reach. While placing healthy snacks in a place that is easy for you to reach.
For example, you can put fresh fruit and vegetables, fruit juices, smooties, plain yogurt, cereals, oatmeal in a refrigerator, TV room or at the dining table. Not only that, you can also reduce your snacking desire by chewing gum or mint so you can resist the temptation not to eat snacks. Even so, don't forget to choose gum that is low in sugar, yes.
A day breaking the diet is okay, really. However, make sure to return to a healthy diet the next day.
