So, its time to sit down to a meal. I feel starved and all of the high calorie foods look great. I feel as if I could eat it all. Well, I have learned to make a simple change that helps a lot.
I eat the healthy foods first. A salad (veggies only please), with a light or even no dressing or celery, carrots and apples. Yes, there are lots of great choices. By filling up on the healthy foods first, the other foods become less and less appealing. In fact, I now crave the healthy stuff. Once I’ve made the healthy choices and eaten a serving or two, I can then decide if I even want anything else. If I do, I am now sure to not over eat the less healthy choices.
I have saved myself from blowing my diet and falling into gluttony. As an added bonus, I feel better. The better the fuel we eat, the healthier our bodies become. So, how about you, do you eat the healthy foods first?
