We’ve all been there, done that. If a diet is not working for you, it won’t work for you next month or the month after that. The bottom line is that you are not a ‘diet person’. This leaves you with one choice that is to opt for some diet hacks that might actually work for you. There’s no harm in trying!
Food replacement hacks:
1. Opt for popcorn instead of potato chips especially on weekends when your limbs don’t function and your eyes are stuck to the television.
2. If you are craving for rich, oily food items like fries opt for milk, cheese or green leafy vegetables. Craving for oily food is your body’s way of telling you that you need calcium.
3. There’s no telling when you will get a sugar craving, so always keep in handy sweet alternatives such as raisins, fruits and dried fruit and nuts.
4. Bake for your health’s sake: Always go for food that is baked instead of cooked in oil or worse – fried. It may still be full of carbohydrates and fat but more nutritious and better for those taste buds.
5. Having salad for lunch? Great. Just top it off with extra virgin olive oil. Include olive oil in Mediterranean and continental diet as often as possible. Olive oil is a healthy fat and is well known for regulating good metabolism.
6. Eat breakfast like a king: Oh if we had a rupee for every time we heard that… Just eat an awesome, wholesome breakfast, OK? Did you know that eating a heavy breakfast aids weight loss and reduces hunger pangs?
7. If you are a sportsperson and a sparkly sports drink is your holy grail product post workout, may we suggest carrying a bottle of fresh coconut water instead? Coconut water is cooling for the stomach, is low on sugar and more potassium than a sports drink.
8. There is nothing wrong in having a fruit juice – as long as it is a fresh fruit juice with fiber and all we will not sue you. But the second you grab a tetra pack sitting fancily on the supermarket shelf, the nutrition goes out the window. When God created fruit, he meant for it to be eaten as it is. So let’s just do that instead of passing it off as kitchen waste.
9. Include a side of salad with each meal even if it means chomping on four sticks of carrot or celery.
10. The most important diet hack is a simple one – make changes in your eating pattern one food at a time. If you are a foodie, a sudden and drastic change can be overwhelming and can make you more prone to go off of your diet as soon as you begin.
Hope these tip motivate you to get healthier and make more informed changes in your diet, if you are on one. Don’t hold back, just become more intelligent food wise.
