1. Take Chips and Snacks out of the Bag

If you like eating chips or other treats out of a party bag, then make sure that next time you do so, you take them out of the bag and transfer them into a bowl first. This way, you won’t be tempted to eat the entire lot in a single sitting – which many of us are occasionally guilty of. You can also buy single serve bags, if you don’t want to dirty a dish. There are many ways to create healthy habits and Achieve Wellness Academy invites you to be your best self.

2. Get Rid of Fancy Coffees

If you enjoy fancy coffee each day then you’re actually consuming a huge number of calories – perhaps without realizing it. Fancy coffee drinks are the worst for this- some pack a full day of calories. Instead, have an Americano which is actually 0 cal. Try to do this half of the time to start and progress will be made.

3. Get Smaller Plates and Use Smaller Cutlery

If you have smaller plates and bowls then you will naturally fill them less and as a result you will start eating fewer calories! This is science! Eating more slowly is a very good way to help your-self feel fuller faster. The slower you eat the more chance your body has to acknowledge that you’ve eaten and to catch up with your stomach. Getting smaller cutlery is a great way to encourage this! You can also eat with a salad fork or a teaspoon.

4. Stop Drinking Soda

Fizzy drinks are actually a dieter’s worst enemy. These are absolutely packed with sugar and they’re really high in calories but it doesn’t feel like it – meaning that you’ll keep drinking them without necessarily realizing how much damage you’re doing to your body. Stop drinking fizzy soda drinks and you should find that you instantly cut your calories by a few hundred a day! You may like to substitute fizzy water with fruit too! Another wonderful idea is a delicious and nutritious smoothie or a juice fizz that you create at home.
