Have you always wanted to improve how you eat but you just aren\u2019t the type to go on a strict diet? Good news! You don\u2019t have to. For many people, it\u2019s much more effective to make small changes that last. How about changing up the way you snack?<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Some people like the challenge of strict diets and need to have certain foods off limits to limit temptation. Others like moderation and do better with smaller changes and can handle the occasional cheat meal without going overboard. If you belong to the latter group, this approach is for you. This is how it works.<\/p>\n

4 Foods You Should Always Have Within Your Arm\u2019s Reach<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n

Make lasting changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Small changes don\u2019t feel impossible, and they are easier to stick with. They are also more likely to produce the good feeling of making a successful change. It will take longer than with a strict diet but there\u2019s pretty much no risk of getting a yo-yo effect because only you control the amount of change. Let\u2019s look at snacking as an example. This is what small lasting changes might look like.<\/p>\n

Snacks level 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You usually go hungry and don\u2019t really snack during the day. In the evening you binge on junk food to compensate.
\nIf you buy something it\u2019s usually soda or some candy from the dispenser down the hall.<\/p>\n

Snacks level 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You try to snack more frequently throughout the day.
\nYou go out and buy a yogurt or granola bar if you have time but chocolate bars and other sweets are more convenient most days.
\nYou limit the soda drinking to one glass per day.<\/p>\n

Snacks level 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You have your favourite quality protein bars and know where to buy them.
\nYou don\u2019t mind running to a store to get a healthy snack. You still have a sweet tooth but are no stranger to fruits, yogurts, nuts, and darker chocolate.
\nMost days you stick to drinking water or tea during the day.<\/p>\n

Snacks level 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You stocked up your workplace and home with plenty of healthy snack options.
\nYou try to make your main meals filling and nutritious so that you don\u2019t feel the need to snack very often.
\nIf you do snack it\u2019s mostly wholesome foods like fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, yogurt, dark 70% + chocolate, or some nutritious left-overs.
\nNow you have plenty of examples on how to gradually improve your meals. And remember, you don\u2019t need to go all the way to level 4 with every meal. You can settle at any level or between them as long as you are healthy and feel good. Just keep the changes you made and it was all worth it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
