When my diet was completely at risk, changes towards a healthy diet seemed incredibly difficult. I did not know where to start and did not change anything. After some experiments, I know today from the experience which changes have the greatest effect.

Are you also in such a situation? Would you like to improve your diet but do not know where to start without killing your whole life? Then we have exactly the right thing for you. The following habits have an excellent cost-benefit ratio. That means you can make a big impact with small changes. You do not even have to implement them all. First, start up and work your way through the list slowly. How about a new habit per month?

1. DRINK WATER

If you only make a change in your diet, change to water! Make water to source number 1 to cover your fluid needs.

Do not drink sodas, fruit juices, sprinkles, sweet ice tea, energy drinks, chocolate milk, diet drinks and similar crimes on your body. If you often drink alcohol, restrict yourself to this too strongly. Pick it up as a treat for the weekend.

Your body needs only water, and that comes without any calories. To make the water more palatable, add limes, lemons, organs, cucumbers, freezer, ginger and/or mint. If the fruits are a little in the water, it takes their taste. In addition, unsweetened tea is a good alternative, which we sometimes drink cold. Tea and coffee are also available as hot drinks. More tips on water drinking you can read here.

For many people with overweight, this change is probably already enough to lose weight. In the case of a very poor diet, it is at least sufficient to avoid further growth. In addition, the absence of sweet drinks has another advantage: one has less appetite and can temporarily quench small hens with some liquid.

2. BREAKFAST HEARTY

We keep two popular habits for counterproductive: do not eat breakfast and sweet breakfast. If you do not have breakfast, you will lose the energy for the day and it is very likely that you will get it back to you during the day with snacks and larger portions. Therefore, the waiver of a meal is only eyewash.

A sweet breakfast, on the other hand, gives you an energy boost that does not last long. The high blood glucose level falls into the deep after eating and the hunger comes back quickly. Since you have been pooping for the day, you will have a strong desire for further sweets. This continues until the evening.

We want to recharge our batteries in the morning, without having to get hungry after a short time or to make a wish for something sweet. Therefore, we have hearty breakfast. This can mean anything, but above all, it means little easily digestible carbohydrates like sugar or white bread. Sometimes we eat cereal with a low sugar content, sometimes-whole meal bread with cheese; sometimes we make ourselves an omelet. With this habit, we start satisfied in the day and usually come up to lunch. Sugar-free breakfasts are available here.

3. EAT REAL MEALS

When you start in this list above, you have already internalized a meal of the day – the breakfast. Now there are two more that we take seriously: lunch and dinner.

We do not find it important in the first step, what you eat at these meals. However, you should consider them as real meals. That means not eating, walking or driving while eating. Sit down at a table and take your time for your meals. A table in the fast food restaurant counts however not! Do not skip meals to save “calories”! Your body gets back the energy over snacks anyway.

Do not forgive as much as possible. Instead, prepare your meals from real foods. These have far more nutrients than any industrially produced product. This will help your body get better and stay longer. Sure, at this point, it becomes elaborate, but it is not without effort. Since I have been preparing more and more meals myself, I feel better after eating, I am richer, I enjoy more and more beautiful side effects: the pounds are drowning.

Our recipe collections will help you cook more often. We have tried many recipes, refined and made every day. You can find them here.

4. EAT HEALTHY SNACKS

If you eat little sugar and grain, you will hardly feel hungry between meals. If it does, or if your last meal is not so healthy, you can eat something. I do that too. I do not like hunger.   For the snacks, it depends on what you eat. Do not get into a bag of chips, do not eat cookies, do not make a ready-made fruit yogurt and do not buy anything in the bakery shop. Eat fruit, vegetables or nuts instead.

I personally prefer fruit and therefore always have fresh fruit in the house. However, I do not try to eat too much of it, because fruit contains the most sugar from all real foods. Sometimes I also reach cut vegetables, which I can eat raw. These include carrots, cucumbers, kohlrabies, radishes, and tomatoes. If you want, you can nibble on the vegetables until you lose your appetite.

If I am hungry but not hungry, I will eat nuts. These contain a lot of fat and proteins, so they last long. You have to be careful not to eat too much. Since they are so small and have a high energy density, one tends to exaggerate it with the nuts. However, saturation takes a while.

These real snacks will satisfy your hunger at least as much as a ready-made snack – but they are much healthier and do not settle on your hips. This conversion is comparatively easy and shows a great effect! It is even easier if you do not buy the nasty snacks and sweets. What you do not have at home, you will not eat.

5. REDUCE CEREALS IN YOUR DIET

The first four changes reduce the sugar in your diet and motivate you to prepare fresh food yourself. This fifth change is a big step further. She may be least liked you, but she is a big lever for the slender line: Eat as little grain as possible. Even more than the sugar grain has sneaked into every aspect of our diet. This makes it so hard to forego it.

Not only do cereal products be included in nearly every meal, they usually occupy a large space. They are not only a small supplement, but often make up the largest portion of the consumed calories. We eat pasta with cheese and maybe a bit of vegetable. We serve the pizzas with a few ingredients. We smear a spread on the thick bread slice.

However, cereals (including whole grain) contain many carbohydrates and, similar to sugars, the blood glucose level in the body rapidly increases, which means that a large portion of the energy in the fat pads and we get hungry quickly. If you want to see the pounds, without starving, you should work at this site.

Since almost every meal is based on grain, this change is difficult. That is why I recommend that you tackle them last. For me too, it was the last big change. It means first to look for alternatives for breakfast, to get along without bread and classic muesli. My favorites are eggs with avocado (both are very good) and “muesli” with the ground must instead of cereals. Also for the other dishes, you need recipes that do not use classic saturation garnish (noodles, noodles, baked noodles, rice) or use only little of them. The focus of each dish should be on the vegetables.

These are five steps towards a healthier diet. Each of these tips can be built into your daily routine. Do not start with all at once, but do not include this article without making a small change. Do not be one of the people who is looking for alibis for a healthy diet.
