hungry? if these pictures don't make you want to eat, you are not human. the constant battle against eating exactly what we want to eat is one of the hardest things in the world. why don't we have the will power to eat everything healthy when we know how fattening takeaways are? i ask myself this everyday. 'the diet starts tomorrow'. so why couldn't god make the tastiest food the healthiest? probably most of us don't each our five a day, but many of us don't even have the 2000 calories we are recommended to have a day either. i mean, 2000 calories is a lot- how are we meant to eat all these calories and this be recommended? i think people get confused as to what is healthy and what isn't. i have been brought up to know exactly what is good to eat and what isn't, which is quite a good thing to know as a 19 year old. a lot of young people think that a diet is- not having any breakfast, no lunch and salad for tea. i personally cannot pyhsically do this due to having very low blood sugar and having to eat every hour- i'm not even joking. i have a takeaway around once a week and to be honest, i eat a lot of crap. but with booking a holiday, i've been trying to get into the swing of things and get the perfect bikini bod. so heres a few things i've been following whilst on my healthy eating regime- whilst avoiding the dreaded gym! as a 19 year old i am not obessessed with weight, i just think it's good to be careful when deciding what to eat, as i want to stay how i am!
1) Fitness DVD-
i have recently bought the Jennifer Ellison fitness DVD after being inspired by all the weight losers on twitter. i'll let you know how it goes, but it is really fun, makes you feel great and you don't have to go all the way to the gym to exercise. £12.99
2) Fitnesspal app-
if you have an iphone this apps great. you can type in anything and it will tell you how many calories and grams of fat is in the product. you can also find brands on there which tells you exactly how much you're having, recording your weight to see if you have lost any, and adding up your daily calories telling you how much you have left. downside to this is when i have about 600 calories left at the end of the day, i go wild. not good.
3) Pitta Pizza-
ok, so i've not actually tried this yet. since being ill last week, i have had a constant craving for pizza and haven't got my fix yet. researching healthy ways to make pizza, i found that putting pizza topping on a wholemeal pitta with mozarella and tomato, and grilling is the easiest, quickest and healthiest way to eat one of your unhealthy sins without feeling guilty.
i know i am not overweight, but i know i do eat some crap. i think balancing out low fat foods with a small amount of foods of a higher calorie content is the best way to maintain a healthy eating regime- always have a day off eating healthy. this will definitely make it easier to do your diet with a treat to look forward to.
happy january!
