In this blog post series, Rachelle Wood shares her thoughts on how to win the weight loss battle. A must read article for anyone thinking of sheding a few pounds.
Tired of reaching to the refridgerator to cheer yourself up? So you’ve had a bad day, and decide to turn a late night snack into an overindulgance. Yeah- you know you shouldn’t but how do you teach yourself how to stop? What one simple trait can make you a weight loss warrior? The answer is control.
Changing your sinful dietary habits takes hard work and planning. When it comes to food you MUST plan your meals a day in advance. This simple task results in a more organized kitchen, simplified grocery store shopping, and by sheding a few unwanted pounds.
But those late night chips and dips are, “calling your name”, and you swear you can’t eat just one. Dietary control is a wonderful feeling which influences your inner weight loss winning attitude. By controlling your home environment and keeping many healthy snacks in the house (like low fat granola bars, fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grain crackers) you can fight off the cravings.
When temptation arises let the craving pass by follow these 3 steps:
1. Drink a full glass of room temperature water.
2. Get out of the kitchen and away from the TV.
3. If you’re still hungry 5 minutes later snack on something healthy.
Have you noticed that late night television commercials market the unhealthiest foods like pizza, ice-cream and fastfood? This is no coinsidance, infact it's effective marketing. Because we live in a convience based society, many individuals are choosing to work more and cook less. These commercials tempt those who frequestly skip meals during the day, and provide a simple solution to late night hunger pains.
When you’re craving a late night snack get out of the kitchen. Try to keep your mind and body active by reading a book, doing a crossword puzzle or replying to an email. Since food cravings are usually triggered by an emotion or visual stimulation, have a few ideas on hand to beat the craving before binging sets in.
You can be a weight loss warrior if you’re prepared to DO THE WORK! Stay tuned for Part 2 of this new blog series. If you have a comment or blog post suggestion for Rachelle Wood, Registered Holistic Nutritionist send an email to, info@rachellewood.ca .
