Enjoy healthy eating!
Can you enjoy healthy eating? Some people seem to think
that healthy eating is some kind of punishment. On the contrary,
it's a pleasure!
There are so many delicious dishes that can be
made with less fat and sugar. It's a new world to discover.
When I go out for dinner or cook in my own kitchen I often
choose a vegetarian meal. There are lots of different
ingredients to choose from and the combination possibilities
are almost endless. Sometimes I just pick a few products in
the store without having any idea of what to do with them
and then I surprise myself with a new tasty dish. It's fun!
Use your imagination. Eat what you enjoy and enjoy what you
eat! You don't have to exclude meat in your food, but we all
need much more vegetables. We should try to see the
vegetables not just as accompaniments, but as a meal in
itself, with its own value.
Relax!
Try to give yourself time in the kitchen. You need to slow
down and be free from stress to be able to enjoy eating.
Think of your time in the kitchen as an important part of
your day. Make your kitchen a place where you can relax and
feel comfortable. Make it nice, put a cloth on the table and
some flowers. Light candles. Many people seem to want to get
out of the kitchen as soon as possible. If you feel that
way, you won't be able to enjoy your meal. Be present, focus
on the meal, don't watch TV or read any paper or magazine
while you're eating.
Enjoy the food, see how it looks, feel
the appetizing smell and taste of it.
Eat slowly!
When you are enjoying something you want it to last long,
right? Eat slowly, take your time to enjoy every bite. Chew
it well. When you eat slowly like this you will notice that
your body will tell you when it's time to finish. You will
know when you are content and you can avoid eating too much.
Stop eating when you feel content even if there is still
food on your plate.
Make a small lifestyle change!
When you go to a restaurant next time, order something new
that you haven't tried before. Next time you go to the
store, buy some low fat or light products that you haven't
tried. Find out if they really are as boring as you might
think they are. Maybe you'll be surprised. Maybe you will
find new favourites and get new ideas for delicious meals to
enjoy! Then you have made a small lifestyle change. And all
major achievements start with the first step.
