How to overcome bad eating habits

No one eats perfectly all the time! So which lousy habits are getting folks into trouble? Here are the top 10 faux pas on out hit list, and how to avoid them.

1: Poor meal planning: Taking a few minutes to plan out weekly meals before shopping for the will save you money, calories and time.

2: Too many meals away from home: Restaurants and takeout will always mean oversize portions, along with more calories and sodium.

3: Too many processed foods: Opt for mostly fresh and whole foods and read labels to help make the smartest choices when you do go for more highly processed goods.

4: Too much added sugar: Sugar is lurking in places you might not expect, like whole-grain cereals, salad dressings, condiments and breads. Take inventory of the total sugar in your diet and find ways to cut back on those empty calories.

5: Mindless eating: Instead of just eating when hungry, many of us grab food when we’re bored, tired, stressed, happy, sad, and in love. You can go on and on with this one.

6: Not eating together: Along the same lines as eating mindlessly comes eating while distracted, overscheduled and in multiple shifts.

7: Eating on the run: Leaving the house for a busy day without packed snacks or meals sets the stage for diet disaster.

8: Giant portion sizes: you think you can eyeball portions, but have you ever really measured out your morning cereal, spoonfuls of peanut butter or olive oil for cooking? Just do it a few times to give yourself some perspective.

9: Too many liquid calories:  Sip on calorie-free beverages like water, unsweetened teas and seltzers in place of high-calorie drinks.

10: Not eating enough throughout the day: Avoid stuffing yourself in the afternoon and evening by spreading out calories, starting with a healthy breakfast.

Thanks for the tips. I am almost three years out and I need to check myself on a lot of these things on a daily basis. I still have about forty more pounds to go before I reach my goal and tips like this can really go a long way on this journey. Don't forget the exercise either that is key as well as water, water, water. Good job on reaching your goals and keep the inspiration alive on BAF, a lot of that has disappeared in the past few years; we need to get it back and fast.

Hey dude thanks for that.  Much luv on this end.  I'll have to copy this and keep it you know, cause that's how the weight creeps back on before you know it.  We as a people take little time to plan our meals as well as for when we are on the go, as we are.  It's so easy to stop at this or stop at that when we need to have it right there with us.  big up
