We all want a body we feel great in, but we’re not always ready to completely overhaul our lifestyle and become a gym addict living on cabbage soup… So, to get back on track gently, here are a few easy little tips to weave into your daily routine. From plate composition and portion sizes to dessert, drinks, vegetables, tableware and even food shopping, we’ve got you covered. Sounds good? Just put these 9 small tips into practice to build good habits and look after your figure without turning everything upside down!
Choose the right foods
It may seem obvious, but looking after yourself day to day starts with knowing how to put together varied, balanced meals. Keep in mind that your plate should be made up of one quarter wholegrains, one quarter protein and one half vegetables. Think about foods that provide fibre, such as vegetables, pulses and wholegrains. Take the time to chew thoroughly and listen to your appetite: you’ll find it easier to recognise when you’re no longer hungry. Mixing different sources of fibre is also an easy way to add variety to your plate — a smart everyday habit!
Learn to recognise the right portions
When it comes to portion sizes, try to prepare just the right amount of each ingredient — using kitchen scales if needed. By cooking exactly what you need, you remove the temptation to go back for seconds. This can help you limit unnecessary calories. Keep in mind that the right portions vary from person to person, so don’t compare your plate to someone else’s — focus on your own needs based on your level of physical activity!
Delay dessert
One of the easiest little tips for building better habits at mealtimes is to delay dessert, having it half an hour or an hour after your meal. You’ll often find that, by then, you’re no longer in the mood for it. Once again, this can help you avoid eating when you’re not really hungry! It’s also a useful habit for cutting back on sugar in your diet, which nutritional guidelines recommend limiting.
Slow down — one of the most essential tips!
Nothing is less helpful when you’re trying to look after yourself than eating without paying attention to your plate. If you’re not focused on your meal, you’ll miss the fullness signals your body sends. Try to avoid eating in front of the TV and take your time at the table. It takes around 20 minutes for your brain to register that you’re full. Eat too quickly, and you risk consuming more than you actually needed. Put your cutlery down between bites and savour each dish: it’s more enjoyable, and you’ll be better able to listen to your appetite!
Drink smart
We often confuse hunger with thirst. Before giving in to a snack craving, drink a large glass of water or a cup of tea and wait a few minutes. You’ll see that, thanks to this simple tip, you’ll become better at telling the difference between thirst and a genuine desire to eat!
To look after yourself and add variety to your drinks, don’t forget about natural herbal teas. They’re a pleasant option to enjoy throughout the day and add a gentle touch to your routine!
Rediscover vegetables
Tired of the same old beans, tomatoes and carrots? We get it! But there’s no question of cutting vegetables out: they have an important place in a balanced diet and provide fibre, water and vitamins. Step outside your comfort zone and try ingredients you don’t usually cook with: squash, cabbage, artichoke… You’ll find yourself enjoying your meals with a whole new enthusiasm.
Discover Cellublue food supplements
To complement your good everyday habits, you can also discover Cellublue food supplements. They make it easy to add selected ingredients to your routine in a concentrated format. The cure combines the Cellulite Drainer and our anti-cellulite capsules, bringing together carefully selected active ingredients. It is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or unsure whether it is suitable for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Choose your tableware wisely
To serve portions that feel right for you, try this simple tip: choose smaller plates! Feeling satisfied isn’t just about your stomach — it’s also about what your eyes see. If your plate looks full, you’ll feel like you’ve had a proper meal sooner and be less likely to go back for more without really wanting it. Worth a try, right?
Shop after eating
Our last little wellbeing tip, to complement our advice on looking after areas affected by cellulite: never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach! Heading to the supermarket when you’re hungry is a guaranteed recipe for loading your trolley with everything in sight — chocolate, sweets, cheese… It won’t be the most balanced shop, and you may regret it once you’re home! We recommend doing your food shopping after a meal, with a list prepared in advance. You’ll find you’re far less tempted and naturally more likely to choose more varied and balanced products.
