Ready to fat-proof your home? No matter how many times you decide that, from now on, you will only eat mindfully, you fail when you open the fridge and see a bucket of ice cream. It’s easier to give in to the temptation, but unfortunately no amount of regret or guilt can save you from the consequences of unhealthy junk food.
Your home should foster a diet-friendly environment if you want to create long-lasting, healthy habits to eat mindfully as well as achieve short-term goals for losing weight. Making your home fat-proof is the easiest way to shed the fat you have been despising for a long time, with minimal effort. It’s time to transform yourself into a healthy, happy person by turning your home around. The science behind deciding to “fat-proof your home” justifies the proverb “Out of sight, out of mind”—that is to say, if the food is out of reach, you will not consume it.
For example, if at midnight you are craving chocolates and you don’t have chocolates in your home, you are most probably going to accept the fact and carry on because you know you can resist the temptation instead of going to shop for it. However, the case is different if the chocolates are lying next to you. You will definitely pick them up and finish them without giving a second thought, or maybe you will think about it just after finishing the treat but, at that time when you are craving, the urge is so strong your mind fails to recall you are on a diet. So now the question is how to fat-proof your home.
First, clean the junk from your home. That’s number one because, before you add anything, you need to start by eliminating junk food from your life. Throw it away or give it away, and remove all the snacks, sweets and all other processed foods from your kitchen cabinets. Then move on to fridge—just get rid of it all at once. The important thing is that your mind will take time to understand the concept. You have paid for all that stuff, so why not eat it all and then never buy it again? Ideas similar to this will dominate your mind over and over again. Try to throw the junk food away out of impulse. You will not regret it!
Once you have completed the cleaning part, the next step is to add substitutes. If you snack regularly, then buy a few packets of dry nuts and fruits. They are far healthier, with nutritional value that surpasses the value you gain from a packet of potato chips. Fill your kitchen counter with fruits and vegetables. Keep them within your sight so that whenever you feel hungry, you can eat them. Also, don’t limit yourself to the same, boring meals every day.
Start eating appetizers such as vegetable or fruit salad, that fill you up and make you feel satisfied before you begin your main meal. This way, you can strategically reduce your food intake during meals and, ultimately, calorie intake.
Eat from smaller plates. A study states that when you eat on smaller plates, you will eat less. Your mind will accept you are full when you eat a full plate of food.
These are some effective ways to fat-proof your home. All of these tips can be implemented without any extra effort because they help you lose weight by tricking your mind and controlling your weaknesses tactically.
