Doing other things while eating
Make it a habit to turn off the TV, put your laptop to sleep and stay away from constantly going on social media while eating. It’s time to actually start paying attention to what you are putting in your mouth. Being mindful of what you’re eating makes it hard to ignore poor meal choices.
Counting your calories
Counting calories is a big part of many a diet, but the truth is, it often backfires. The constant worry about how many calories you’re putting into your body can cause undue stress, which can result in increased cravings for fatty and sugary food and the storage of belly fat. Also, it’s not just about how many calories you’re consuming, but the quality of those calories and when you consume it.
Over drinking alcohol
Most alcoholic drinks not only contain a huge load of calories and sugar; being tipsy also increases your appetite, so you drink and eat more. As such, keep the drinking to once or twice a week with a maximum of two drinks.
Skipping breakfast
Unless you can wake up to cook at 5 am in the morning to prepare yourself breakfast, many of us probably don’t eat breakfast before going out in the morning. It’s one of the hardest habits to break — especially for working adults but having breakfast will give you the energy you need for the day and will prevent you from overeating or making poor dietary choices for lunch and dinner. If you cannot cook, there are breakfast restaurants you can patronise in Lagos.
Not drinking enough water
Water an important part of making sure our bodies are functioning well and keeping us alive. Know that the body can go for three weeks without food but only three days without water. So, you must start drinking water if you are not drinking enough.

ReplyDeleteCan't even eat without reading a book or pressing my phone, they're like the secret ingredient that makes the food taste better.
ReplyDeleteI used to skip breakfast before. But now I don't.
ReplyDeleteThat number 1 hey......
ReplyDeleteI always press my phone whenever I am eating especially reading SDK Blog old post..
ReplyDeleteI skip breakfast occasionally.
The rest no.
All are welcome ideas except the first one. That can't be avoided especially as a nursing mother. Half the time you are even praying the food doesn't choke you cuz you have to attend to the baby simultaneously...
ReplyDeleteI'm so guilty of number one, eating and watching TV or chatting. i started loosing weight when i stopped counting calories.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast isnt important please. Its even good you skip breakfast and take water or green tea instead(its called Intermittent fasting). It detoxifies your system.
