Guess the riddle: it is a white powder that is not an essential food. But many people cannot imagine their life without this substance, and put it at least in tea or coffee. If you haven't guessed yet, then we are talking about sugar, or about "sweet death", as it is sometimes called. How to eat less sugar?
Instructions
Step 1
A person consumes a lot of sugar with a variety of drinks - tea, coffee, "soda", etc. Hence the conclusion: it is worth switching to ordinary water in an attempt to quench your thirst or drinking tea and coffee without sugar, even if you do not like the taste of the latter in this case.
Step 2
Eat more fat and protein. They are needed in order to provide the body with energy. It is surprising that our contemporaries, who eat 10-15% less fat than they did 60 years ago, are now much more likely to be overweight. But when choosing fats, you need to be choosy. Trans fats or hydrogenated oils should be avoided. Eat moderate amounts of saturated fat and choose healthy monounsaturated fats, as well as Omega 3, 6, and 9 fats.
Step 3
Try new flavors and sugar-free foods. You can even set a goal that you will definitely try new dishes a couple of times a week. Use new herbs or spices, veggies, whole grains, fruits, and more.
Step 4
Usually, within a couple of hours after the last meal, we are looking for a sweet snack. Such a desire must be suppressed! For example, if you always drank sweet tea with a bun at 11 in the morning, then try to eat a carrot, an apple, or just drink a glass of water half an hour before that.
Step 5
When preparing food, ordering at a restaurant or shopping in the supermarket, try to divide all products into two clear groups: "harmful" and "healthy". And, of course, buy food so that the second group prevails over the first. That is, make an informed choice towards proper nutrition.
