When you have hormonal imbalance, the first advice a doctor’s gonna give is to build healthy eating habits. Follow your doctor’s orders and you’ll be shedding hormonal weight for good!
Taking small and simple steps can make a huge difference in your weight loss efforts. You might exercise chronically, but that pesky hormonal weight won’t disappear without good habits to support sustainable weight management.
Healthy Eating for a Happier You
We’ll never forbid you to eat anything you love. But let’s chat more about some healthier choices, yes?
A balanced diet is the cornerstone of healthy eating and sustainable weight management.
Let’s start it off with the conversation of eating a diverse range of foods. A balanced diet includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods from all food groups including:
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Whole grains
- Lean proteins
- Healthy fats
Here are 5 simple healthy eating habits:
- Hydrate before meals.
Before every meal and snack break, have a glass of water. Drinking water in the morning curbs hunger and helps burn calories.
- Eat a protein-packed breakfast.
Grab a high-protein breakfast like eggs or Greek yogurt every morning! These will help keep you full, energized, and less likely to snack on unhealthy stuff later.
- Eat at least 1 fruit a day.
Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are high in fiber. Try to eat a cup of berries, a pear, or an apple a day.
- Minimize the processed food on your shopping list.
Make it a habit to buy groceries with a full stomach and reduce the amount of processed food on your shopping list. This will keep you from eating too much processed food which will keep hormones balanced and your mood in check.
- Portion cooking for one.
Filipino households typically cook multiple servings of rice and ulam. Portion your meals when you’re cooking to prevent you from having seconds.
Lastly… don’t start big tomorrow. Start small today!
These 5 habits are hard to build, but you’ll pick them up in no time! Choosing to say no to processed food and yes to whole foods will be easier the longer you practice doing it.
