That is exactly what this post is about: making little tweaks to your diet that will drastically improve your health and waistline.

Re-charge your eating habits with these hacks:
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 1 – Avoid “dieting”.
I know that you will come across the term diet often (even on this website) but the diet we are speaking about is different from how some people perceive the word to me.
For some, the word diet means a temporary change.
They think it has to equal restrictive choices but in a painful way.
Plus the implication is that at some point you’re going to revert back to your eating habits once the diet is over.
The word diet however is defined as the kinds of food that a person, animal or community habitually eats.
So if you are currently eating lots of crap you have a “Not Mindful Of Healthy Choices So I Grab Whatever I Feel Like Including Lots Of Junk Food” diet.
Everyone has a diet, but that doesn’t mean you have to be ‘on a diet’.
My son is allergic to eggs, dairy, sesame and nuts but it doesn’t mean he is “on” a special “diet” due to these allergies.
He just eats well, without consuming those foods.
We don’t call it a DIET.
We don’t give it a label, even though he obviously doesn’t eat those things.
So instead of “going on a diet” – whatever that means to you, why not tweak your current eating habits until you have a plan that gives you the results you desire and is easy and healthy enough to follow it forever.
If you feel as if sugar makes you feel terrible, ditch sugar.
If you want to eat clean, ditch the processed foods.
But you are making those choices not because you are “on a diet” but because it’s a personal preference and lifestyle choice.
It doesn’t need to be labelled as a diet.
If you insist on labelling it with something call it an “EATING FOODS THAT MAKE ME FEEL HEALTHY AND ENERGIZED FOR LIFE” lifestyle.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 2 – Change slowly.
You might want to change everything at once, but that strategy usually doesn’t work very well.
Instead, I suggest improving your diet a little each week.
This method will be easier to stick with and you’ll have a healthy diet before you know it.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 3 – Go vegetarian a day or two each week.
In most cases, vegetarian diets are healthier and lower in calories.
Try it a couple of days each week.
You’ll lose more weight and be healthier.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 4 – Get the junk food out of the house.
Oh my gosh, this is really my first and most important tip!
Please, please don’t buy something “just in case guests over.”
In case you haven’t guessed, the guest you feed will end up being YOU.
If it’s in the house, you’re going to eat it sooner or later.
The solution is to simply get rid of all of it. Give it away or throw it in the trash.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 5 – Keep plenty of healthy snacks readily available.
If your snacks are healthy, you can feel free to eat.
If you’re eating really healthy food, you can get away with eating a larger volume of food.
So fill your fridge with healthy carrot and celery sticks.
You’ll never go hungry again!
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 6 – Drink water.
Juices are often high in sugar or chemical sweeteners.
Diet drinks are questionable from a health standpoint.
Give your body the water it craves and it will reward you with better health – all the way down to the cellular level.
The more of it you drink the better!
An added plus: drinking plenty of water helps keep you from consuming excess calories, too.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 7 – Take your lunch.
Most of the things that are available in restaurants are not very healthy.
It also can be challenging to order a salad when your coworkers are ordering bacon cheeseburgers.
You will be healthier and save money if you take your lunch.
I have also learned this from experience.
Prepack the healthy lunch you really want to eat in advance.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 8 – Eat nuts.
Nuts are an excellent source of healthy fats and protein.
Watch out for the salt and don’t eat too many, since their calories will add up with large servings.
Most recommendations call for 1 ounce of nuts per day, which is about 15-20 nuts.
Just a few will be enough to fill you up.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 9 – Eat berries.
Berries are another super-healthy treat and can make other things taste better.
Put some berries on your oatmeal or yogurt.
Try to eat some every day.
We always have a few punnets of different berries such as strawberries, blueberries or raspberries in our fridge.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 10 – Get your fiber.
Unless you eat beans regularly, it’s highly unlikely that you’re getting all the fiber you need.
Track your diet and see how much you’re actually consuming.
Fiber is the thing that will fill you up and keep you feeling full for longer.
Consider a fiber supplement if you don’t seem to be able to eat all that you should.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 11 – Exercise a little.
Even a small amount of exercise can have positive benefits and curb your hunger.
Move around enough to increase your heart rate for at least a few minutes each day.
Aim to sweat if you can and just get your heart pumping.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
TIP # 12 – Bake, don’t fry.
Besides being fattening, oils that have been heated to very high temperatures can be very unhealthy.
With the right herbs and spices, you can learn to love baked foods.
Savor the flavor, without the calories!

When you think of quitting, think of why you started.
