]]>Intuitive eating begins with reconnecting to our body’s innate wisdom. Instead of relying on external cues or restrictive eating plans, tune in to your internal signals of hunger and satisfaction, trusting that your body knows what it needs. Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full.
Suppressing or ignoring cravings often causes feelings of deprivation, which can ultimately lead to overindulgence. Intuitive eating encourages us to embrace our cravings in a balanced way. Allow yourself to enjoy a variety of foods, including those that might be considered indulgent, while being mindful of portion sizes and overall nutritional balance.
Tapping into our senses is essential to deriving pleasure and satisfaction from anything we eat. During mealtime, slow down and savor each bite rather than mindlessly eating on autopilot. Engage all your senses, notice the flavors and textures, and cultivate a sense of gratitude for the nourishment your food provides.

]]>The only reason that celebs and fitness coaches are able to have cheat days (or cheat meals, for that matter) is because they’re exceptionally good at having self-control. They’re able to have their less healthy meal and move on from that pretty smoothly back into their regularly scheduled diet. If you think you’re unable to do that, then perhaps a cheat day isn’t the right move for you.
But another part of it is about not getting discouraged. If you think you’re incapable of controlling yourself, there are certainly ways to improve that. Try experimenting with having cheat meals at different parts of the day, and see where you’re less “triggered” by them. The important thing is to never give up, and believe in yourself!

]]>Everyone is different, from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual standpoint. What may work for one individual may not necessarily work for someone else. This is why it’s important not to assume that you’re a failure if another person’s method—such as going cold turkey—didn’t work for you.
You might be the type of approach that doesn’t react well to a strict cold turkey mentality. You might be more akin to a more natural approach. For instance, instead of eating sweet food every night, maybe you can eat it twice a week, or what’s more commonly known as a “cheat day”. Just relax and don’t persecute yourself because you’re on your way to finding what dieting method works best for you!

]]>Preparing spaghetti squash instead of your usual pasta dinner is an easy way to cut up to 150 calories and it’s just as tasty and very nutritious.
Ice cream is by far the most popular comfort food, even though it’s not really healthy and is packed with calories. “Nice cream” is the perfect alternative to our favorite comfort food that’s sugar-free and dairy-free, but equally tasty.
Potato chips are the popular, unhealthy snack that we love eating while watching movies. Eating a handful of your favorite nuts is a much better, healthier, and nutritious option and it’s just as crunchy and delicious.
Even though we love mashed potatoes, cauliflower mash is the perfect low-carb swap for this popular side dish. It’s easy to prepare and is much more nutritious than mashed potatoes.

You can eat barley in salads, baked goods, or as rice. It is a versatile grain that you can really get creative with.
Wholemeal bread is a tasty and versatile way to get your slow-release energy fix. Eat it as toast with butter, eggs or bacon, or in sandwiches. The good thing about wholemeal bread is that it is easily portable, so you can eat it on the move.
Potatoes are a delicious way to eat your slow-release energy foods. A nutritious and versatile way to eat your potatoes is to bake them in the oven and top them with tuna, beans, chili, salad, or mixed vegetables.
Stir fry brown rice with scrambled egg, boil with mixed vegetables, or mix into a refreshing salad.

]]>The post Best Ways to Consume Protein for Muscle Gain appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>The best advice for getting sufficient protein is to eat lots of high protein foods. High protein animal products include eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. For plant-based, you can have lentils, beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, oats, almonds, chickpeas, or quinoa.
Plant-based protein is better for the environment and some would say is more ethical. However, it’s not quite as good at building and maintaining muscle as protein from animal products. If you eat a plant-based diet, the best advice is variety. Eat lots of different kinds of protein-rich foods!
Protein shakes are convenient and effective. You can tailor the amounts of protein to your workouts and they are quick and easy. But they are only effective if you have been working out regularly for some weeks.
Protein shakes aren’t a substitute for real food. They are only a supplement for those athletes you do regular hard workouts. The body cannot digest too much protein. It’s best to stick to high priotein nutritious food.

]]>The post Why Eating Insects Might Be Your New Favorite Source of Protein appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Studies show that some insects actually have higher levels of protein than many meat products. While the protein level does vary between insect species, the best are crickets, some ant species, and mealworms.
One reason for the rising popularity of insects is that they provide an alternative protein source to animal products. As many people are concerned about the treatment of animals in the production of dairy and meat, insects serve as an ethical alternative.
Farming and eating bugs has significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than farming cattle.
In the insect world, there are a surprising variety of flavors. You can find flies that taste like blue cheese, ants with a lemony zest, and giant water bugs that taste like watermelon candy.
You can bake cricket powder into cakes and breads, or fry mealworms in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This healthy snack is rich in protein, amino acids, and fiber.

]]>Before you start this and eat lots of salads during the week and then tons of ice cream and fried foods on the weekend, this is not how it works. You need to know what foods are filled with good calories and which have bad calories. Measure the ratio of the number of fruits, vegetables, and nuts that you are consuming with the bad calories of those filled with sugar or high in fat.
Some of the compliant foods for the healthy 80 percent of your diet are; plant-based foods, lean animal protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. And the suggested foods to indulge in for the 20 percent are foods high in saturated fat, highly processed food, alcohol, and white sugar.
Working out the 80/20 rule might take a little bit of math. Before you start this diet you want to write down your weekly intake of food and their calorie amounts. This will give you a baseline of how much you consume over a week. Once you have worked this out you can calculate the calories that make up the 80 percent, including all the meals and the snacks, and then everything else you eat would be in the remaining 20 percent.
It might take a while to get the hang of it but once you know how to do it you will see great weight loss results and it will become a way of life.

]]>Replace meat in your burgers with healthy plants that have “meaty” texture such as beans and mushrooms. You’ll be surprised at how tasty these plant-based burgers are!
Don’t make chocolates and other unhealthy food your go-to snack when you’re in the office. Instead, try to prepare healthy snacks such as bananas, apples, or a mix of your favorite nuts and carry them with you.
Preparing a tasty and healthy meal with fresh fruit and veggies has never been easier. Blend frozen bananas, berries, spinach, and other fruits and veggies you like with milk or yogurt and you’ll have a nice and tasty dose of greens for the day.
Your local farmer’s market is the place where you’ll get inspiration for healthy meals and can buy fresh products that taste way better than the ones in the supermarket.
