Do you find yourself mindlessly wondering into the kitchen looking in the fridge and pantry for food? Do you even know what you are looking for? You think you want something to eat, right?
Ask yourself if you are even hungry. You could be trying to fill a void with food when your body is not even asking for food.
If you cannot stop grazing in the kitchen, or you are just trying to eat healthier foods, cut up and prepare fruits & vegetables so they are easy to grab on the go. Keeping these foods reachable and ready to eat will give you a higher probability of skipping the convenient bag of chips or cookies.
This simple trick will get anyone in your household to snack on healthier foods.
Processed foods are full or sugar, salt, preservatives, artificial flavors and coloring that confuses your body so it is hard to know when you are full. Your body keeps craving nutrition so you think you are still hungry, yet you feed it another unhealthy snack. Processed foods are much easier to grab on the go because they do not need as much time to prep like whole foods, so the trick here is to prepare the health foods so that they are convenient.
Whole foods are foods found in their most natural state. They are full of vitamins, minerals and fiber that meet your body’s needs. When you eat a variety of whole foods you naturally reach a point of feeling full and know when to stop eating. Give your body the delicious nutrition it needs. It will make you feel great. Plus, you deserve it!
