Don't you like the afternoon working hours? Boring meetings and planning meetings are behind us, and the end of the working day is already looming ahead. But you remember that there was an afternoon snack in kindergarten between lunch and dinner. And now you are almost certainly no, no, and you will please yourself at this time with sweets. And they are not particularly useful. So what to do about it?
Have breakfast. Good old advice. Have a full breakfast, do not think that the desire to get there and not be late here is an excuse. The desire to starve a worm after lunch is one of the consequences of the decision not to lay the energy foundation in the morning. And the result will easily be excess weight.
Watch what you eat. Even if you decide to "refuel" in the morning, this does not mean that you need to pump up coffee with syrup at Starbucks. The first 50 grams of protein you eat in the morning are used to stimulate detoxification, according to research by Charles Poliquin, coach of many successful athletes. That is why it is necessary to include both proteins and "good" fats in breakfast. This will not only relieve you from hunger before lunch, but also reduce afternoon urges. If you are used to morning cereal – try adding an egg to the bag, and see how much better you will feel.
Throw off the yoke of stress. Stress is directly related to nutrition. Stress is a product of the instinct of self–preservation, and food is an accessible symbol of survival and well–being. Moreover, during stress, you will want to eat not healthy food like spinach, but something sweet, which as a result will add stress to you related to health and appearance, and the circle will close.
Be happy! Researchers have long noticed that all kinds of "snacking" and the tendency to eat junk food are associated with a person's general mood. But it's not so easy to become happy, because such a mood is already familiar to you, and your hormones do not please you, because you eat all sorts of nasty things. There is no mood, and you go to eat the muck again. Being happy is a habit that should be instilled in yourself, I'm sorry. Try to remember every day before going to bed, and what good you did today. Even one cool thing will give you a sense of satisfaction and a well-spent day.
Give in to temptation, but in your own way. All of the above is designed to prevent sucking in the pit of the stomach, but what if it already exists? The struggle is often simply exhausting, and the body refuses to obey until it gets its own. Therefore, give it, but get real pleasure on all fronts – eat something both tasty and healthy. A little quality cheese, avocado, nuts, fruit... add a little dark chocolate and you're in chocolate.
