Savoring Your Foods

How Savoring Your Foods Could Help You Eat Less

Posted on by Joe

Have you ever considered how savoring your foods could help you eat less? If you think about it and you’re really honest with yourself, chances are that you rush through meals and don’t even taste the food itself. We all have too much to do and too little time to do it.  It’s only natural that the last thing that we have time for is to sit down and enjoy a meal. However, if you do take the time to enjoy what you’re eating and begin savouring your foods, you might find that it makes a bigger difference than you might expect. In fact, it can change everything from the amount you eat to the ease of your weight management strategy, and it may even impact your mental health, too.

Trying a Vegetarian Diet

Why I’m Trying a Vegetarian Diet to Improve My Nutrition and Health

Posted on by admin

I’m trying a vegetarian diet. I’ve been doing it for a bit and plan to stick to it pretty strictly for the first month. My goal isn’t to become a vegetarian. Instead, it’s to immerse myself into it so I’m forced to find out what foods I can eat to reach my nutrition goals without eating an animal to get there. To be clear, I’m trying a vegetarian diet, not a vegan one. I’ll still be eating dairy in my normal amounts, plus eggs and honey. Once I’m done this experiment, I also know I’ll definitely go back to eating fish regularly. I haven’t decided whether or not I’ll eat fish in the midst of this experiment or not. I haven’t so far, and at the moment, I’m leaning toward “no”.

Nutrition Tracking

Nutrition Tracking Skyrockets My Weight Loss Success

Posted on by admin

I’ve told a lot of people about how much I think nutrition tracking is important and there seem to be two kinds of response. The first is interest and a willingness to ask questions or even give it a try. The second, the more common one, is to look doubtful and decide that it’s too much of a pain to do. I’ve tried to talk about how easy nutrition tracking is when you have the right app. I have a Fitbit, but I find using that app to track nutrition is about as much fun as a root canal. Fortunately, there are a lot of other apps that connect with the Fitbit app so I can keep my fitness and nutrition log all in one place. I’m currently using SparkPeople, but I’ve also successfully used MyFitnessPal.

Nutrient-Dense Diet

My Nutrient-Dense Diet Looks Boring But is Delicious and Works Great

Posted on by admin

I’ve been sticking to the same kind of nutrient-dense diet for quite some time, and it’s really working for me. Sure, I get the occasional junk food in there, and the holidays are always hard on me, but overall, I’m eating great. The funny thing is that a lot of people judge my meals as being boring. They assume I’m sacrificing a lot in what I’m eating so that I can reach my physical goals. Not true!
