A lot of people that have weight loss goals will struggle with their goals because they are only keeping up with one half of the task. These people tend to fall down on the diet side of things because they want to eat what they want. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are someone that is having trouble sticking with a diet. Everyone does and there is nothing wrong with asking for help. If you find yourself thinking that you can eat a chocolate bar and then run an extra mile the next day, then you do need help with your diet and you have come to the right place.
If you carry on reading this article, you will learn how to deal with cravings and how to substitute some healthy options for foods that are bad for you.
Substitution
If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and you are finding it hard to live without a massive sugar intake, then you might benefit from substituting a healthier option for the sugar. For example, apples and grapes are quite sweet and they are healthier for your body. If you keep a bowl of sliced apples and grapes by your side, then you can reach for them instead of chocolate.
If you drink tea and coffee, then you can swap the milk for skimmed milk, but if you can, it is better to drink it without milk because it will be less calories. In addition to this, you need to swap the sugar for a healthier sweetener. This will also be fewer calories. A natural sweetener like Yacon Syrup will be better, but if you can't find that, just buy a well-known sweetener from the supermarket.
You have to remember that you are supposed to be sticking to a calorie-controlled diet and you must not go over the calories, even if you are only eating healthy foods. This is because a calorie is a calorie no matter where it comes from.
If you have to stick to 1500 calories so that you can lose 1lb per week without exercise, and then you eat 1600 calories worth of fruit and salad, then you will still put on weight.
