3 Common Eating Mistakes To Watch Out For
This week we wanted to share our insight and advice regarding three common eating “mistakes” we are noticing among our clients as they navigate through these strange times.
1) Letting fruits and veggies take the back seat We cannot emphasize enough the importance of getting in an abundance of fruits and vegetables.
That’s why we are encouraging frozen options as much as possible, and even canned if there’s slim pickings.
Here are a few ideas and how to use them: – Vacuum packed beets: smoothies, salads and soups, roasted – Frozen fruits: smoothies, overnight oats, yogurt/cottage cheese – Canned pears, peaches (no added sugars)
2) Allowing too much wiggle room for extra sweets and alcohol Ouch. We know that one hurt. But keep in mind this isolation period is not going away anytime soon, so we need to work with this new reality and keep our sweets and alcohol in perspective.
3) Eating while distracted This was happening long before social isolation! But if you fall into the category of women who multi-task while eating, PLEASE listen up.
This habit most often leads to mindless eating. And mindless eating not only causes overeating, but also a lack of satisfaction with the meal or snack.
