Is willpower failing you when it comes to improving your nutrition?🤔
We’ve been there and we want to help!
Save your willpower for dragging your butt to the gym and try these 7 simple hacks to improve your eating habits! 👇🏻
1. Start the day with a glass of lemon water🍋
Drinking lemon water first thing on an empty stomach does wonders for hydration – but it goes beyond that, too. You’ll flush your system of toxins and deliver key nutrients, such as vitamins C and B, calcium, and magnesium.
2. Eat your bowl 🥣
Use vegetables and fruits as containers, so you get an extra serving of veggies without even thinking about it. Bell peppers, squash, pineapples, and melons all work great for this. And you don’t have to wash a bowl at the end!
3. Jump on the “Meatless Monday” bandwagon
The idea here is to give up meat for one day a week, which will naturally have you reaching for more veggies to fill up. Plus, it’s great for the environment too. That’s what we call a win-win.
4. Stop eating when you’re 80% full 😅
In his book, In Defense of Food, Michael Pollen shares a philosophy practiced by the long-lived Okinawans in Southern Japan known as “Hara Hachi Bu.” This roughly translates to “eat until you’re 80% full.” Interestingly, these people also have “one of the lowest rates of illness from heart disease, cancer, and stroke.” Coincidence? Probably not.
