An excess of flour and sweet foods in the diet can cause the appearance of extra pounds. In addition, an excess of sugar and carbohydrates provokes various diseases. Unsurprisingly, many people choose to cut back on “harmful” foods in their diets. So that giving up sweets does not become a torment for you, think over a plan of action and strictly adhere to it.
Instructions
Step 1
Start writing down everything you eat. This will help you understand how much sweets you consume in a day. Do not forget about such small things as a couple of slices of chocolate for coffee, sugar added to tea or a glass of soda drunk at lunch. You will be surprised how much excess sugar is eaten in between.
Step 2
Eliminate sweet fast food from the menu - sodas, popcorn with additives, cotton candy, all kinds of snacks. Avoid "light" desserts that do not contain fats and sugar - they usually include unhealthy sweeteners.
Step 3
Don't give yourself a word to never eat sweets. Most likely, you will break this vow. But when you decide to feast on, choose the very best sweets you can afford. Instead of cheap cookies and gingerbread, buy a cake with natural whipped cream, replace caramel with good chocolate. And smaller portions - choose the smallest desserts.
Step 4
Analyze your own habits. Avoid sugar tea and coffee. Better to add milk or cream to the hot drink - the taste will be more delicate. If, while watching TV, your hand reaches for something tasty, prepare a vase of dried fruits or nuts in advance. Do not buy ready-made candied fruits and nuts in glaze. When eating healthy dried fruits, do not forget that they are quite high in calories.
Step 5
Don't replace a full meal with tea with puffs. You will get a lot of "empty" calories, but after half an hour you will want to eat again. Better to eat a piece of meat with a vegetable side dish - such a dinner will saturate for several hours.
Step 6
Adjust the family menu by cutting back on sweets and starchy foods. Instead of pasta, cook stewed vegetables, dumplings and dumplings, replace with natural steaks and cutlets. Do not buy ready-made, breaded semi-finished products. Instead of pies and other baked goods, make healthier desserts with dairy and fruit such as jellies, mousses, fruit salads, and casseroles.
Step 7
If you love ice cream, make a healthy substitute for this treat - freeze natural fruit juice. A couple of cubes will remove the urge to eat something tasty. Frozen yogurt on a stick is also a good alternative to a cool dessert.
