Top 3 Mistakes We Make When Trying to Eat Healthy
Eating healthy doesn't mean tormenting yourself or giving up everything you love, but finding a balance that works for your lifestyle.
Here are the 3 most common mistakes and how to avoid them:
1. We eat too little or skip meals
Extreme restrictions or very rare meals are not the solution to a healthy eating style. In the short term they may seem effective, but in the long term excessive hunger, cravings and lack of energy appear.
What can you do?
Organize your main meals and include balanced combinations of protein, good carbohydrates and healthy fats. Eat enough to provide you with the energy you need throughout the day.
2. We completely eliminate carbohydrates
Carbohydrates play an important role in nutrition — they provide energy, support brain function, and help recover from exercise. Their complete elimination often leads to cravings for sweets and excesses.
What can you do?
Choose quality carbohydrates: rice, potato, vegetables, fruits, whole pasta. Portion them correctly and do not completely eliminate them from the diet.
3. We do not have prepared snacks
The lack of smart snacks inevitably leads to chaotic choices: quick snacks, sweets or ultra-processed products.
What can you do?
Prepare simple and balanced snacks: fruit, Greek yogurt, nuts, a protein bar, banana bread or hummus with vegetables.
A healthy lifestyle does not have to mean harsh restrictions or impossible rules. With a food plan tailored to your needs, you will be able to achieve long-term results without frustration or the feeling of “dieting”.
If you feel you need specialized help with a personalized plan, you can always make an appointment with a nutritionist or dietitian on Bookr.
Take care of yourself. It starts with small but constant steps.
