Every meal is a fresh opportunity to affect your health and now is as good a time as any. Don’t give up the entire days’ healthy meals because you had a bad breakfast. “I’ll start eating healthy on Monday” procrastination- healthy eating should be a lifestyle and it starts with the meal in front of you, not only on the first day of the week.Eating directly before going to bed doesn’t give your body time to burn off all that energy so try sticking to eating a decent meal a little earlier and if the need arises, snack later on some fresh fruit or yoghurt. Late night snacking– this normally comes from the fact that you ate too little at dinner or you’re bored.Foods such as fresh fruit, yoghurt, lean biltong, nuts and instant low GI meals are convenient foods that can be enjoyed on-the-run. Try eating 5-6 small regular meals and snacks throughout the day, 2-3 hours apart. Avoiding food the entire day (due to time constraints or lack of resources) and overindulging at night- this predominantly slows down your metabolism and results in you overeating right before you go to bed, leading to weight gain.
Not only do studies say that it will help speed up your metabolism, prevent you from overeating throughout the day and manage your weight it will also help you live longer, feel better and ultimately help reduce your risk of developing diseases of the lifestyle. Ensure you eat a low GI, protein containing breakfast. By skipping breakfast you slow down your metabolism, reduce your energy, concentration and productivity levels and sees you overeating later on in the day (typically on the most refined, sweet carbs you can find!). Skipping breakfast– this is one of the most common bad habits seen in most dieticians’ offices.
#Bad eating how to
So here are twenty of the most common bad habits, and how to change them: Remember…building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process, it takes time and commitment! In other words, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Interestingly, researchers also found that missing one opportunity to perform the behaviour did not significantly affect the habit formation process. In other words, if you want to set your expectations realistically, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from 2-8 months to build a new behaviour into your life. In a study by Lally, it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit. How long it takes to form a new habit varies widely depending on the behaviour, the person, and the circumstances. Many of us have heard that it takes 21 days to build or break a habit, but researchers have found that in actual fact, on average, it takes more than two months before a new behaviour becomes automatic - 66 days to be exact.
