More likely to plan breakfast and your meals. If you don’t get enough sleep, your energy stores (glycogen) will be low and the stress hormone (cortisol) will increase, which raises blood pressure.
2. Eat breakfast – If you eat a nutritious low-GI breakfast, your energy levels will be higher throughout the day and snacks will be less. (the less human interference, the whole food)
3. Plan Meals Ahead – If you plan your meals and pack your own lunch, you can avoid the lottery of food shopping. It’s almost impossible to buy healthy lunches that are low in fat, sugar,
4. Ditch the gimmick diet – Millions of people around the world are able to eat basic foods and maintain a healthy body. Your body needs carbohydrates for energy, protein for growth and repair, and good fats for important bodily functions. Too much of any of them and you’re going to store body fat. Fiber is very important to ensure that the digestive system works well.
5. Cut out processed foods – Why do people in places where fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and lean meats make up their diet have fewer obesity problems?
6. Prioritize exercise – Exercise should be as much part of the day as eating and sleeping. Don’t think of it as an extra thing, think of it as a normal part of your life. If you don’t have 20 minutes to exercise, you can have 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there. It all adds up!
7. Ditch sugary beverages – One 600ml bottle of soft drink and you already have 2-3 times the RDI of daily sugar, not to mention 250+ calories in one hit!
8. Don’t skip meals – Skipping meals is a surefire way to gain weight. You’re more likely to be hungry at mealtimes and snack on processed foods and end up consuming far more calories. It makes sense that if you fill up on the good stuff at meal times you won’t be as hungry as you would be if you were tempted by the energy density.
9. Drink enough water – Our blood is mostly made up of water which carries nutrients to cells.
10. Eat whole meals – Nutrient-dense foods are much better than energy-dense foods. Processed foods usually contain added sugar, salt, and saturated fat.
Start with No.
