It is rare to find someone who has not been on a diet at some point in their life and yet what fuels the billion-dollar diet industry is the fact that DIETS DON’T WORK!
What can work is trying to have a healthy relationship with food. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full and keep these 5 tips in mind.
Eat breakfast every day – ideally within one hour of waking
Don’t get too hungry – most people need to eat something every 2-4 hours
Allow yourself treats – 1 to 3 treats a day is part of a healthy relationship with food
Plan ahead – we can make choices that will help our bodies feel good when we aren’t over hungry and in a rush
Remember there are no good and bad foods – just some we could choose to eat more often and others that are better as treats
Most importantly enjoy the food you do eat!
