Eating well is a personal preference. Some people prefer the diversity and variety of foods you find in the typical diets of many countries. Others prefer the focus on the nutrients in foods.

We all have our “go to” foods, but overall, we eat a lot of good stuff. The question is: How much?

Most people don’t think about how much food they eat. But if you eat enough, then you should! Most people don’t realize how much sugar they consume in their diets. Consuming too much fruit and veggies can be a problem because it can be hard to find it on your own.

Chew your food thoroughly

This is an important part of the dieticaian process. If you don’t chew your food well, you may be putting stress on your body to do so.

You may be excluding some parts of your mouth and tongue, and these areas can make it difficult to swallow and chew properly. You may also be overloading your stomach with the food you’re eating, which can make you feel full faster but may not help you lose weight.

By taking time to chew your food thoroughly, you’re also reducing the odds that any minerals from the food will go missing and enter your blood – including those from calcium. This can help prevent any negative effects on your bones, such as bone loss.

Stop eating when you are 80% full

This may seem like a strange claim to make, but it’s worth discussing. Many people believe that eating until you are hungry or even overhungry can give you a boost of energy and enjoyment in the kitchen, which is why they do it.

However, this is not the case. As we have already discussed above, food gives you energy, but noreapering until you are fully satisfied does not mean that you are eating enough. In fact, it can be a precursor to malnutrition and other health issues.

If you’re still hungry sometime after this theory might be true, but for the most part, we should refrain from eating until we are full because it may just lead to overconsumption later on.

Avoid snacking

You might think you are eating enough when you eat a lot of food, but your body might be thinking that it is working hard to consume all the food you’re putting into it.

This is a waste of energy! You should be paying attention to how much food you’re eating. A small amount of food can help you exercise your body and self-confidence.

You are more likely to stick to a diet if you avoid eating while browsing the internet, watching TV, or while drinking alcohol or caffeine-based drinks.

The average person needs to eat a few times a day, so try to make dieting easy with the use of one or two small meals per day. Avoid breakfast, lunch, and dinner being the same meal twice on the day.

It is also important to keep snacks available. You should always have some fruit and bread in your kitchen so that you can grab a snack every so often.

Make time for dinner

If you’re running late for dinner, you can make some time by making a few minutes before or after your daily activity schedule to eat the food you want to eat.

You can also try making a quick night-time checklist of what you want to eat and then try to follow through on that.

Many restaurants offer quick delivery and setup services, so this is also an easy way to get more food in your life.

Many grocery stores and supermarkets have evening meal packages you can download that include rice, vegetables, meat or fish, greens and dessert. You can try them out the next day!

How much time you have left for breakfast and lunch can help determine whether or not you’ll need more food for the rest of the day.

Follow the 40-30-30 rule

This is a rule of dieting that was created by medical doctors. The rule means that you should eat less than youshould eat for the given time period.

The 30 minutes you spend spending money in shopping will make you spend less time trashing websites and only buying things that are green and fresh.

This spending reduction will help you lose weight, because many of the items in the grocery store are foods that are light and green.

You will also be more inclined to eat what you buy because it was cheap enough to appeal to your hunger but not expensive enough to be habit forming.

The doctor who created this rule is known as Charles D Rogan, and his theory is called calorie surplus versus calorie deficit. He claims that when we diet, we should have an excess of calories over calories, because your body needs them to recover from the exercise it did while losing weight.

Eat more vegetables

As the world’s most populated country, Singapore has a lot of vegetables to offer. This is partly due to its large production of rice and vegetable farms.

Having so many vegetable farms is a great way to learn about soil and water retention. They also provide you with hands-on learning opportunities that promote creativity and learning.

The plants you learn about at these camps are usually not introduced in your kitchen, so you have a chance to try some out. Many are introduced as side dishes or used in cooking.

Eat more protein

A good source of protein is what you eat after exercise. A high protein diet will help to ensure your body repairs and improves its muscle tissue during exercise and during recovery.

The more the better the source of protein the more effective it is! This is because muscle tissue repair is a process that lasts for several months. During this time, you should be eating a minimum of 20-25% of your calories from protein.

During recovery from exercise, you should ideally be eating a mixture of foods, as some contain more than others do not contain enough carbohydrates to provide energy and fats to help aid healing. Dark foods such as meat and fish are best for this reason.

Berries can also be good sources of protein as they contain a small amount of carbohydrate along with their fat content. Just make sure they are fresh or frozen versions to ensure optimum recovery.

Limit sugar and salt

Both sugar and salt are common in most foods and beverages. Both are easy to access in Singapore, with almost every item, beverage, or person having their own supply of either one.

For those who are lightweights on the diet, you can limit your salt and sugar intake to meet your daily needs. For those who are more mindful about their diet, there is no need to cut down on either of these as they are always in foods and beverages.

Sugars and starches contain all sorts of things, so it is hard to find a specific food that you cannot have too much of. Instead, use less of each one to equal how much you will cut down on your diet overall.

Both salt and fat can be incorporated into the modern diet without being eliminated completely. Most people don’t realize how much salt they eat as we don’t pay attention to how much we have (not enough!).
