Tip #6: Stockpile Handy, Healthy SnacksHave you ever noticed that sometimes you get bombarded by uncontrollable urges that can strike at any time?Sometimes these urges are so powerful that they seize control of your automobile and steer it rihgt into the nearest fast food place, which emits that alluring aroma your nose just whiffed.Sometimes you can be walking down the aisle of a grocery store and that piece of chocolate or bag of cookies just hops into your cart without your even noticing.Sometimes you stand in line at a pot-luck, and your plate gets mysteriously filled up with all those foods you have worked so hard to avoid.That morning pastry at work looks so innocent until it somehow sneaks into your mouth.In that culture of food and more food, and lots of it not really good-for-you food, there is temptations everywhere. EVERYWHERE!So BEWARE!
The hottest way to counter these temptations is to keep healthy snakcs with you at all times—in your home, at the office, on trips, and in the automobile. Raw, unsalted nuts like almonds, fresh fruit, dried fruit, and cut-up vegetables make great fast-grab food.If you are going to a friend’s for dinner, offer to birng a salad so you are assured of something good to eat. What host or hostess wouldn’t be grateful for a great enormous salad to share?
That’s a win-win situation for everyone.Other options are: eat somtehing before you go, or, if you don’t get filled up, eat when you get home.For some reason, many of us think that that meal is our last meal, with no more food in site, so we “have to” get filled up.Think out of the box.If there is not enough good food to eat, rather than eating foods that you’d rather not cause you are trying to be so good, the answer is simple—just eat when you get home!And for heaven sake’s, be gracious to your hostess and don’t make a enormous deal out of the differences in your eating habits.Dr. Leslie Van Rmoer is a health motivational speaker, writer, and lifestyle coach.
