Be Experimental in the Kitchen

Eating healthy is never boring, if you stimulate your meals with herbs and spices! According to University of Colorado's research, spices and herbs manage to add flavor to every meal and replace oil in meals. In addition, hot spices such as chili peppers speed up your metabolism and allow you to burn a few extra calories. So instead of steamed broccoli, add smoked paprika to your meal. Instead of eating your boiled chicken dry, add dried herbs, garlic powder, and red hot pepper to your chicken. Bon appetit!

Talk While Eating

Isn't being talkative at the dinner table the most practical way to eat less? According to the research of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, people eat a bowl of ice cream for a period of 5 minutes to 30 minutes. The peptide YY hormone works harder in those who eat slower, taking breaks, and this hormone makes people feel more satiated. That's why you'll love lasagna more when someone is accompanying you!

Get Your Beauty Sleep

While living intensely, the first sleep is affected. But if you want your metabolism to work regularly, you need to make sleep your priority. Even Dr. Lori Shemek points out that it is more beneficial to rest for a few more hours instead of getting up early and exercising on days when you get less sleep and suggests the snooze button. Because insomnia directly affects hormones, with this effect, your likelihood of gaining weight and your appetite increase, and even worse, you crave higher calorie foods.

Sometimes Miss the End of the Rope

Yes, you had a delicious cheeseburger with french fries. Even if it doesn't meet healthy eating goals, you need to forgive yourself and move forward, you can promise yourself to eat healthy for the next meal. According to the research of the University of Waterloo in Canada; Understanding yourself ensures a better relationship between eating and a healthy metabolism. Low self-esteem can lead to problematic eating that causes weight gain. Shemek advises you to treat yourself to a meal once in a while, like buying a meal for someone you love.

Not Every Day

I wish every day was a festival, but unfortunately not. You shouldn't pamper yourself at every special event. The cake you ate on your friend's birthday, the junk at the office celebration, and a whole lot of food adventure going on. Since these activities occur regularly, you should learn to not overdo it and resist food. Doctor Heiser points out that the occasional sweet getaway is a must in the diet. That's why you have to choose your getaway correctly and say goodbye to others. Of course you should celebrate your own birthday with a cake, but not everyone's!

Don't Waste Your Time With Diet Food

A low-fat or calorie food may sound fine in theory, but the main problem is that these foods are high in carbohydrates and heavily processed. Salt, sugar or other non-beneficial ingredients are added to diet foods to reduce the fat and calories of food. Heiser explains that the sugar in your body will cause you to gain more weight.

No Food Is 'Bad'

We cannot distinguish between brownie bad and spinach good. According to the studies of the University of Toronto, those who do not consume chocolate for a week have more sweet crises than those who consume it and consequently eat more chocolate. Also, according to the results of a study conducted in 2010: If you tell yourself that you cannot eat chocolate and try not to think about it, you will make chocolate obsessive. This is where most diet failures come. Remove the word bad from your dictionary to have a happier relationship with food!

The Importance of Water

Countless benefits of water are seen everywhere. Well, do you know the problem caused by thirst that makes you gain weight? The feeling of thirst is often confused with hunger. That's why we sometimes think that we are hungry instead of drinking water when we are thirsty and give ourselves to dinner. In addition, regular and sufficient water consumption allows you to maintain your weight balance and support your immune system.
