Make Your Diet Work for You

Make Your Diet Work for You

First, understand that your body needs a proper balanced nutrition diet with a sufficient daily amount of; vitamins, proteins minerals and carbohydrates in order to maintaining a healthy diet.

Get into a habit of eating just 3 meals a day. Those meals being breakfast, lunch and dinner as you might have guessed.  But here are some tips you may not have considered.

      1. Eat breakfast within one hour of rising.

Breakfast provides at least 30 percent of the total energy and nutrition needed to sustain the body during the whole day. Therefore it’s important to never skip breakfast and to have a proper one. Oatmeal is a great choice as it’s a good source of fiber and protein.

2. Choose something  healthy and  low-fat

Try a healthy lunch snack such as low-fat yogurt to keep your energy running. If that doesn’t satisfy your appetite, have a grilled chicken salad with low-fat dressing.

3.     Have your dinner 3 hours before bedtime

Never go to bed on a full stomach. An example of a proper dinner would be grilled or baked salmon with steamed veggies and a baked sweet potato or brown rice.

Lastly, drink water with every meal. Drinking 2 liters of water a day helps your body burn calories more effectively and rids your body of toxins.
