Oftentimes, when following the dieting rituals of celebrities or fitness experts, they’ll talk about having something called a “cheat day”. The idea of a cheat day is really quite simple. You’re allowed somewhat of a break from all of your usual restrictions related to eating and drinking, and can essentially “cheat” on your diet by having something less healthy. But is this practice really legitimate? And furthermore, how can you implement it into your routine?

True Focus

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.

Balance

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!

Trying to get a six pack is not an easy task, but everyone seems to be doing it once summer arrives. Relying on intense workouts alone isn’t enough and your eating habits make all the difference. Certain foods can sabotage your mission to achieve defined abs, and these three fall under that category.

Sugar High

Achieving a six pack is mission impossible if your diet is rich in foods with high sugar content. That’s why you should try to cut down on sugar-rich drinks and foods such as candy, chocolate, ice cream, soda, sports drinks, and alcohol.

Refined and Processed Foods

Refined and processed foods also won’t do you any good if you’re trying to get a six pack. You should try to limit your consumption of refined grains including white bread, white pasta, and sugary cereals. Processed meats, such as pepperoni and hot dogs, are also best avoided.

Fried Foods

Fried foods have a notoriously high-fat content and you should avoid them whenever possible—not just when you’re trying to build a six-pack. Burgers, fries, and fried chicken are the most popular dishes that fall under this category, and you should prepare them inside an air fryer if you can’t imagine living without them.

A new study has shown some interesting connections between our eating habits in childhood and adulthood. According to it, children who were informed about healthy foods tended to keep the healthy habits as adults and eat more fruits and vegetables. When parents teach kids about healthy food, the message has a high chance of staying with them many years later.

Interesting Findings

This is very important as it tells us about one way to prevent childhood obesity. The study was done using food questionnaires on 443 people who answered questions about the meals and snacks they ate as kids.

They were asked if they used to get food as a reward, if they were pressured to eat, if they got healthy guidance about food, or if they were monitored during meals. People who thought about food as a reward or who were pressured into “cleaning the plate” during every meal tended to eat more sweets, snacks, and other unhealthy items as adults.

People who had “healthy eating guidance,” which the researchers find to be the best practice, consume more fruits and vegetables today as adults. Healthy eating guidance includes actively influencing food behaviors, introducing whole foods, and including kids in preparing food. Preventing childhood obesity is the gateway to living a long and healthy life filled with good habits that many people today lack.

Eating food quickly and on the run is a common thing in today’s fast-paced, modern world, yet this simple eating habit is much worse than we could imagine. Read on to find a few good reasons why you should take time to eat your food without a rush every single day.

Better Digestion

One of the most common reasons why people have problems with digestion is because they eat too fast. Chewing your food properly is the easiest way to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.

Losing Weight

People who eat fast also tend to eat more food, which basically means that they are also consuming more calories. Eating your food slowly is a simple habit that can help you reduce your calories intake and maintain a healthy weight.

Enjoying Your Food

If you truly love eating tasty food and you want to enjoy your meals to the fullest, then it’s only logical that you should take your time to savor every bite of your favorite pizza or pasta.

Less Stress

Despite the fact that we don’t realize this, rushing through a meal can actually increase stress and make us really nervous. This is why this simple eating habit is not only good for our physical, but also for our mental health.

Food is the crucial fuel that gives you energy and nutrients that make you stay healthy. You know it’s time to eat when you feel hungry and to stop eating when you’re full, but what happens when you have no appetite? 

Loss of appetite can come from many different things like physical or psychological causes. In order to fix the problem, it’s important to determine its root. Loss of appetite is often just a symptom that can’t be fixed without fixing the main thing that caused it.

Physical Reasons

Sometimes, the reason you don’t feel like eating can be something physical, like a stomach bug. Loss of appetite may be a symptom of various problems, like cold, anemia, diabetes, and even cancer. It’s relatively common as an early pregnancy symptom, too. That’s why it’s crucial to visit the doctor as soon as possible in order to determine the problem behind your loss of appetite.

Psychological Reasons

It’s not uncommon for people to lose their appetite because of various psychological reasons. Conditions like anxiety, depression, and chronic stress commonly cause appetite loss. By treating these conditions, you will likely gain your appetite back.

Counting your calories can be an effective, yet stressful and time-consuming habit. Luckily, there are so many different hacks that can help you cut your calories and these are some of them.

Don’t Drink Calories

We often forget that most of the things we drink in a day are high in calories too. Fruit juices and smoothies, that are usually considered healthy, contain lots of added sugar so make sure to watch your intake and reduce the amount of sugar in your drinks.

Cook Your Own Food

Preparing your own meals is the best way to gain control over what you eat. Restaurant food may be tasty, but it’s less healthy than we think because it contains lots of fat and sugar that we don’t usually notice.

Eat Your Meals Slowly

Studies have shown that people who eat slowly consume fewer calories per meal. This simple trick will not only help you lose weight, but it’ll also improve your digestion and give you time to fully enjoy your meals.

The way you eat your food has a big impact on your health, maybe even more than the actual food you’re eating. So if you’re struggling to lose weight, especially that stubborn belly fat, check out these bad eating habits you should avoid at all cost.

Skipping Meals

Simple logic dictates that if you eat less, you’ll lose weight, but your body is more complicated than that. Studies suggest that people who skip meals are more likely to be obese, because this slows metabolism.

Eating When You’re Stressed

Let’s be honest, we all do this from time to time. Eating when you’re stressed is bad for your waistline and it can also cause a lot of health problems, so don’t make this a habit.

Day 10 of cooking Street Food on TikTok for 21 days! When I was young, my dad brought me to night markets every weekend in Taiwan. One of my favorite things to order was chicken rice bowls. When I moved to Canada, I was determined to recreate the dish so that way whenever I am homesick, I always had a bowl of chicken rice to bring back all the fantastic memories of my childhood.  The best part of the recipe is the sauce that is a combination of chicken oil and shallot oil; GET YOUR RICE READY EVERYONE!!!  I am using chicken thigh and leg today, but you can also use chicken breast if you like!  VIDEO NOW UP ON TIKTOK  Ingredients   4 piece of Chicken Thigh and Leg (separate meat and skin)  2 cups of Chicken Stock 3 cups of Water  3 slices of Ginger  1 green Onion  5 shallots (thinly chopped)  2 tbsp of Soy Sauce  1 tsp of Sugar  1 tsp of White Pepper  In a pot, add chicken stock, water, chicken meat, ginger, and green onion. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and once it starts simmering, let it cook for 7 minutes with the lid on. After turning the heat off, put the top on, and let it sit and rest for 15 minutes.  In a pan, drizzle in oil and add in chicken skin. Turn the heat to medium-high and let the skin render the oil out; mine took around 7 minutes. Once the skin is crispy and there is chicken oil in the pan, remove the skin and add in the shallots. Fry the shallots for 3-5 minutes or until crisp. Once the shallots are crispy, let is rest on a piece of paper towel to stay crispy.  OPTIONAL, BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, use the chicken stock to make the rice.  Remove the chicken from the stock and let it rest to cool down. Once the chicken has cooled down, shred the chicken. Add in half of the sauce and half of the shallots and mix.  Next, to assemble the rice bowl, start with rice, add shredded chicken, top with crispy shallots, and drizzle with chicken oil sauce.  ENJOY!  乾杯🍻 gānbēi

Eating too Quickly

It takes time for the stomach to tell the brain that you’ve had enough food. That’s exactly why people who eat slowly consume less per meal, compared to people who eat faster.

Eating in Your Bedroom

It’s a well-known fact that associating food and eating with pleasure is not a good thing, because you then eat a lot more than you should. That’s why it’s best to avoid eating in your bedroom, in front of a TV, or while listening to music.

Eating healthily is an important component of living a healthy life, but you shouldn’t obsess about it. In fact, being obsessive about healthy food is ultimately not good for your mental health and quality of life, so balance should be the thing you’re striving for.

How to Start

When you first start looking into healthier food options, you may feel deprived. You have certain habits and love certain foods that don’t necessarily have much nutritional value, so it’s important to keep a healthy relationship with food. Healthy foods are important, but so is your ability to relax and eat what you want from time to time without feeling guilty about it.

How to Stay Balanced

If you don’t trust yourself to intuitively eat healthy foods most of the time and treat yourself occasionally, you should try the 80/20 rule. Eat “right” 80% of the time and get more relaxed during the remaining 20%.

Don’t See it as Sacrifice

Once you realize that healthy food is not a punishment tool, but something you need to stay healthy and strong, you will start loving it more and more. It’s hard to deny the good effects it can bring and you need to trust the process until you can see results.

PEARL BARLEY WARM SALAD WITH MINI MOONG FALAFELS 🌱 // I learned a great trick for cooking barley – you soak it overnight in water and the juice of half lemon. The next day you just drain and cook. The lemon helps barley retain its nutrients and speeds up cooking time by a lot and gives you a barley that is not chewy at all. The same process works also for brown rice, spelt and any other whole grain. Perfect for this weather, this warm salad has a nice combo of textures, flavours and beautiful colours. The mini falafels were made with moong dal, a nice change from the classic falafel and so cute that you can’t help popping one after the other in your mouth 🙂 ✅INGREDIENTS 🌱For the barley salad: Pearl barley – 1 cup Lemons – 1 Sun-dried cherry tomatoes marinated in oil – 3 tbsp, oil drained and chopped Artichoke hearts marinated in oil – 3 tbsp, oil drained and chopped Mange tout – 100g, halved Walnuts – 50g, chopped Raisin – 2 tbsp Mint – a small bunch Micro herbs to garnish (optional) Salt and pepper to taste 🌱For the mini moong falafel: Split yellow mung beans – 1 cup Cilantro – 1 small bunch Parsley – 1 small bunch Cumin seeds – 1 tsp Black pepper – 1/2 tsp Baking soda – 1/2 tsp Sesame seeds – 2 tbsp Oil for frying ✅METHOD The night before: soak pearl barley in plenty water and the juice of half lemon. Separately, soak mung beans in plenty water. The next day, drain water and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the barley. Cook for around 7-8 minutes or until the barley is cooked through and drain. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper then add the remaining half lemon, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, mange tout, walnuts, mint, raisins. Garnish with micro herbs and set aside. Add all the falafel ingredients (minus the oil) to a food processor. Run the food processor 40 seconds at a time until all is well combined forming a the falafel mixture. Heat the oil to 140C, form tiny balls with the falafel mixture and fry in batches. Drain excess oil on kitchen paper and serve along with the barley salad. Enjoy! #salad #warmsalad #autumn #fall #fallrecipes #autumnrecipes #falafel #moongdal #vegan #vegetarian #f52gram

One of the biggest problems of sticking to a restrictive diet is the restriction. Your favorite foods are off-limits. You will, of course, be losing weight, but you are still craving fries and cookies. The best diet for you to be able to consistently lose weight and not miss the foods you love is the 80/20 rule. This rule is basically that everything is in moderation. You eat healthy meals 80% of the time and 20% of the time you can indulge in the foods you enjoy.

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.

Baked potatoes can be an excellent food source for workout regimes and healthy lifestyles. Here are four reasons why should think about introducing jacket potatoes into your life.

Slow Release Energy

Jacket potatoes are full of high-quality slow-release carbohydrates. This means that they will keep giving you more and more energy throughout the day, helping you stay active and energized.

Quick and Easy

When we think of jacket potatoes, many of us think of hours of baking in the oven. But, you can cook a fluffy baked potato in the microwave in seven minutes. If you want crispy skin, you can still oven bake for 5-10 minutes.

Versatile

One of the major perks of baked potatoes is that they can go with an enormous array of toppings. You could top with beans and cheese, tuna, fried vegetables, jackfruit, or many more. Not only does this make for delicious and exciting variety, but it also makes it easy to eat a more varied and balanced diet.

Cheap

You can buy whole bags of potatoes for less than two dollars. Not only are they cheap to buy, but they also can last in the cupboard for some time.

Food is the crucial fuel that gives you energy and nutrients that make you stay healthy. You know it’s time to eat when you feel hungry and to stop eating when you’re full, but what happens when you have no appetite? 

Loss of appetite can come from many different things like physical or psychological causes. In order to fix the problem, it’s important to determine its root. Loss of appetite is often just a symptom that can’t be fixed without fixing the main thing that caused it.

Physical Reasons

Sometimes, the reason you don’t feel like eating can be something physical, like a stomach bug. Loss of appetite may be a symptom of various problems, like cold, anemia, diabetes, and even cancer. It’s relatively common as an early pregnancy symptom, too. That’s why it’s crucial to visit the doctor as soon as possible in order to determine the problem behind your loss of appetite.

Psychological Reasons

It’s not uncommon for people to lose their appetite because of various psychological reasons. Conditions like anxiety, depression, and chronic stress commonly cause appetite loss. By treating these conditions, you will likely gain your appetite back.

Counting your calories can be an effective, yet stressful and time-consuming habit. Luckily, there are so many different hacks that can help you cut your calories and these are some of them.

Don’t Drink Calories

We often forget that most of the things we drink in a day are high in calories too. Fruit juices and smoothies, that are usually considered healthy, contain lots of added sugar so make sure to watch your intake and reduce the amount of sugar in your drinks.

Cook Your Own Food

Preparing your own meals is the best way to gain control over what you eat. Restaurant food may be tasty, but it’s less healthy than we think because it contains lots of fat and sugar that we don’t usually notice.

Eat Your Meals Slowly

Studies have shown that people who eat slowly consume fewer calories per meal. This simple trick will not only help you lose weight, but it’ll also improve your digestion and give you time to fully enjoy your meals.

The way you eat your food has a big impact on your health, maybe even more than the actual food you’re eating. So if you’re struggling to lose weight, especially that stubborn belly fat, check out these bad eating habits you should avoid at all cost.

Skipping Meals

Simple logic dictates that if you eat less, you’ll lose weight, but your body is more complicated than that. Studies suggest that people who skip meals are more likely to be obese, because this slows metabolism.

Eating When You’re Stressed

Let’s be honest, we all do this from time to time. Eating when you’re stressed is bad for your waistline and it can also cause a lot of health problems, so don’t make this a habit.

Day 10 of cooking Street Food on TikTok for 21 days! When I was young, my dad brought me to night markets every weekend in Taiwan. One of my favorite things to order was chicken rice bowls. When I moved to Canada, I was determined to recreate the dish so that way whenever I am homesick, I always had a bowl of chicken rice to bring back all the fantastic memories of my childhood.  The best part of the recipe is the sauce that is a combination of chicken oil and shallot oil; GET YOUR RICE READY EVERYONE!!!  I am using chicken thigh and leg today, but you can also use chicken breast if you like!  VIDEO NOW UP ON TIKTOK  Ingredients   4 piece of Chicken Thigh and Leg (separate meat and skin)  2 cups of Chicken Stock 3 cups of Water  3 slices of Ginger  1 green Onion  5 shallots (thinly chopped)  2 tbsp of Soy Sauce  1 tsp of Sugar  1 tsp of White Pepper  In a pot, add chicken stock, water, chicken meat, ginger, and green onion. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and once it starts simmering, let it cook for 7 minutes with the lid on. After turning the heat off, put the top on, and let it sit and rest for 15 minutes.  In a pan, drizzle in oil and add in chicken skin. Turn the heat to medium-high and let the skin render the oil out; mine took around 7 minutes. Once the skin is crispy and there is chicken oil in the pan, remove the skin and add in the shallots. Fry the shallots for 3-5 minutes or until crisp. Once the shallots are crispy, let is rest on a piece of paper towel to stay crispy.  OPTIONAL, BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, use the chicken stock to make the rice.  Remove the chicken from the stock and let it rest to cool down. Once the chicken has cooled down, shred the chicken. Add in half of the sauce and half of the shallots and mix.  Next, to assemble the rice bowl, start with rice, add shredded chicken, top with crispy shallots, and drizzle with chicken oil sauce.  ENJOY!  乾杯🍻 gānbēi

Eating too Quickly

It takes time for the stomach to tell the brain that you’ve had enough food. That’s exactly why people who eat slowly consume less per meal, compared to people who eat faster.

Eating in Your Bedroom

It’s a well-known fact that associating food and eating with pleasure is not a good thing, because you then eat a lot more than you should. That’s why it’s best to avoid eating in your bedroom, in front of a TV, or while listening to music.

Eating healthily is an important component of living a healthy life, but you shouldn’t obsess about it. In fact, being obsessive about healthy food is ultimately not good for your mental health and quality of life, so balance should be the thing you’re striving for.

How to Start

When you first start looking into healthier food options, you may feel deprived. You have certain habits and love certain foods that don’t necessarily have much nutritional value, so it’s important to keep a healthy relationship with food. Healthy foods are important, but so is your ability to relax and eat what you want from time to time without feeling guilty about it.

How to Stay Balanced

If you don’t trust yourself to intuitively eat healthy foods most of the time and treat yourself occasionally, you should try the 80/20 rule. Eat “right” 80% of the time and get more relaxed during the remaining 20%.

Don’t See it as Sacrifice

Once you realize that healthy food is not a punishment tool, but something you need to stay healthy and strong, you will start loving it more and more. It’s hard to deny the good effects it can bring and you need to trust the process until you can see results.

PEARL BARLEY WARM SALAD WITH MINI MOONG FALAFELS 🌱 // I learned a great trick for cooking barley – you soak it overnight in water and the juice of half lemon. The next day you just drain and cook. The lemon helps barley retain its nutrients and speeds up cooking time by a lot and gives you a barley that is not chewy at all. The same process works also for brown rice, spelt and any other whole grain. Perfect for this weather, this warm salad has a nice combo of textures, flavours and beautiful colours. The mini falafels were made with moong dal, a nice change from the classic falafel and so cute that you can’t help popping one after the other in your mouth 🙂 ✅INGREDIENTS 🌱For the barley salad: Pearl barley – 1 cup Lemons – 1 Sun-dried cherry tomatoes marinated in oil – 3 tbsp, oil drained and chopped Artichoke hearts marinated in oil – 3 tbsp, oil drained and chopped Mange tout – 100g, halved Walnuts – 50g, chopped Raisin – 2 tbsp Mint – a small bunch Micro herbs to garnish (optional) Salt and pepper to taste 🌱For the mini moong falafel: Split yellow mung beans – 1 cup Cilantro – 1 small bunch Parsley – 1 small bunch Cumin seeds – 1 tsp Black pepper – 1/2 tsp Baking soda – 1/2 tsp Sesame seeds – 2 tbsp Oil for frying ✅METHOD The night before: soak pearl barley in plenty water and the juice of half lemon. Separately, soak mung beans in plenty water. The next day, drain water and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the barley. Cook for around 7-8 minutes or until the barley is cooked through and drain. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper then add the remaining half lemon, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, mange tout, walnuts, mint, raisins. Garnish with micro herbs and set aside. Add all the falafel ingredients (minus the oil) to a food processor. Run the food processor 40 seconds at a time until all is well combined forming a the falafel mixture. Heat the oil to 140C, form tiny balls with the falafel mixture and fry in batches. Drain excess oil on kitchen paper and serve along with the barley salad. Enjoy! #salad #warmsalad #autumn #fall #fallrecipes #autumnrecipes #falafel #moongdal #vegan #vegetarian #f52gram

One of the biggest problems of sticking to a restrictive diet is the restriction. Your favorite foods are off-limits. You will, of course, be losing weight, but you are still craving fries and cookies. The best diet for you to be able to consistently lose weight and not miss the foods you love is the 80/20 rule. This rule is basically that everything is in moderation. You eat healthy meals 80% of the time and 20% of the time you can indulge in the foods you enjoy.

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.

Baked potatoes can be an excellent food source for workout regimes and healthy lifestyles. Here are four reasons why should think about introducing jacket potatoes into your life.

Slow Release Energy

Jacket potatoes are full of high-quality slow-release carbohydrates. This means that they will keep giving you more and more energy throughout the day, helping you stay active and energized.

Quick and Easy

When we think of jacket potatoes, many of us think of hours of baking in the oven. But, you can cook a fluffy baked potato in the microwave in seven minutes. If you want crispy skin, you can still oven bake for 5-10 minutes.

Versatile

One of the major perks of baked potatoes is that they can go with an enormous array of toppings. You could top with beans and cheese, tuna, fried vegetables, jackfruit, or many more. Not only does this make for delicious and exciting variety, but it also makes it easy to eat a more varied and balanced diet.

Cheap

You can buy whole bags of potatoes for less than two dollars. Not only are they cheap to buy, but they also can last in the cupboard for some time.
