You are what you eat. Literally. The more you succumb to your cravings for comfort food – think ice cream, mac-and-cheese – or junk food – soda and chips – the more it will stick to your body. If you eat too much, you probably eat too fast. Get out of this situation – just focus on what your cravings are and find ways to deal with it. Here are a few tips.
Key Takeaways:
- When I make the time to track my food intake, it opens my eyes to the importance of portions, finding a good balance of carbs, fat and protein and limiting my sugar and salt intake.
- I quit regular soda consumption nearly four years ago, which helps, but still need to work on drinking enough water each day. I find it easier to drink water during the summer when hot weather reminds me to find ways to cool down.
- I swapped out sugar in my coffee for stevia, but still require cream or milk in it. I use less butter and bacon fat while cooking in favor of healthier oils. I make salad dressing from scratch so I know what I am eating.
