Ways To Not Deprive Yourself & Eat Healthy

Take Small Steps Towards Healthy Eating

For starters, it is not healthy or recommended for an individual goes 'cold turkey' and tries to cut out everything from their diet they consider ‘bad’ or unhealthy foods. Instead, focus on making gradual changes that will make eating healthily simple and easy. As previously mentioned, start by eating smaller portions, and take fewer bites and gradually work down from eating a full serving of ice cream to eating a half serving. It also helps to measure your portion and put it into a small container versus eating out of a bag or tub for complete portion control.

Put containers out of sight and out of mind when you are done eating those delicious treats, thus ensuring you’re not tempted to overindulge. Another helpful step is to experiment and discover what works best for you. Many individuals find using recommended servings help them control their portion sizes, while others might prefer to weigh their portions themselves. Lastly, use a food diary or mobile app to record what you are eating, as this will greatly help you learn what works best for you and what doesn’t, especially when trying to reach a healthy weight.
