Your “healthy” meal may not be so healthy
It is great if your diet comprises mostly of all those foods that are considered healthy and recommend by dietitians to everyone desirous of getting fit, but even such foods are not devoid of calories. Just because they are organic or plant-based, you cannot eat however much you wish. Therefore, eating even the healthiest of foods in unhealthy proportions can make the task of losing weight unattainable for you.
It has been scientifically proven that when eating clean, one tends to overlook the portion size or the satiation signal we get from our brain. We also have this wrong notion that healthy food can be consumed in any quantity. You are not on your weight-loss track if you eat bowl after bowl of porridge for breakfast or if your salad is loaded with mayo dressing.
What do you need to do?
When you sit down for a meal, put your phone away, turn the television off, forget all the unfinished office work you have for the time being, and direct your entire focus on the food laid out for you. You are most likely to eat more if your brain is focused elsewhere. The next thing you can do is to be aware of the portion you need and what all is put in the meal. This can be done best if you prepare your food yourself.
