Changing your eating habits is the most important step in getting healthy. And yet, it's also the hardest aspect of making healthy changes. But I think if you focus on changing your worst eating habits, it can make a big difference on both your health and your waistline. Here are some habits to lose, courtesy of Forbes:
- Unconscious eating: Those small nibbles here and there can really add up. Keep a food journal to monitor everything you've put in your mouth.
- Weekend splurges: It's easy to stay on track Monday through Thursday, but once Friday hits, it's hard to stay on the wagon. Research shows that on average, people consume 300 more calories on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
- Eating three meals a day: Some studies show that eating five smaller meals throughout the day might be more beneficial.
- Feeling invincible: When we're young, we often feel that we can abuse our bodies because we are healthy. Not so -- the time to pay attention to our diet is now.
- Giving up control: Letting yourself and your diet be controlled by your busy schedule is an excuse that you will regret in the long run. You can be busy and healthy too.
