1. 12 Diet Hacks
Here are some little tricks or mind hacks that can help improve your health and descrease
your waistline – and they are all really easy to implement. Each one is a small change that
you implement, and although you may think it might not make a dramatic change, when all
of these changes are applied they really do add up!
Eating Hacks
1. Ditch the diet. We hear all the time of people being “on a diet” or back on their diet etc.
when we say diet it somehow appears temporary. Something we do to drop a few
pounds. If this is the case it means that after your diet you will revert back to how you
used to east.
 So ditch the diet or find one which is more of a lifestyle change that will help you eat
more healthy without being extreme. Remember if you start your body of “normal”
food your body will crave it even more.
2. Make changes slowly. A lot of the time we are too drastic. We want to change
everything right now. This can come as a shock to your body so you need to make
changes to your diet slowly. Introduce fruit every week, reduce bad food each day. This
is a more gentle approach for your body.
3. Go veggie once or twice a week. Eating more vegetables is good for you and will help
you lose weight so consider going veggie at least once week. You can also set yourself a
challenge to make interesting food from different vegetables each week!
4. Do a junk food clear out. If there´s temptation in the house you will probably at some
point eat it. So it´s best to get rid of any junk food you may have in the house. If it´s not
there you can´t eat it!
5. Have healthy snacks at the ready. It´s about making small changes as mentioned above.
There are a lot of lower calorie options out there. But be careful some of these so called
good for you snacks have more sugar in them! Make wise choices, have more fruit and
veg in the house to snack on.
6. Drink water. I am sure you´ve heard the expression “have you drank your 8 a day?” This
eight of course refers to water. Our body if made up of a large amount of water. We
need water – so drink more of it. Plus drinking a glass of water before eating will make
you feel fuller.
7. Bring your lunch. Bringing your lunch to work will do two things. It means you can plan
what you are going to eat. So you make the decision rather than having to guess what is
healthy in the restaurant. The other plus side is that it saves you a ton of money!

2. 8. Eat more nuts. Nuts contain a lot of healthy fats and protein. Nuts taste good and are
nutritious, however keep on eye on the salt content and also on the amount you are
easting as they do contain calories and can add up. The recommended amount per day
is around 15 to 20 nuts which amounts to 1 ounce.
9.
10. Eat more berries. It´s a fact that Berries are really-healthy and can complement other
foods. Consider putting berries in your porridge, on toast or in a low fat Greek yogurt.
11. Fiber up. It´s essential to get enough fiber, often called roughage. Fiber keeps your
body running smoothly ;). If you eat beans on a regular basis you may be getting enough
fiber. If not consider either eating more fiber rich foods or buying a fiber supplement.
12. Move more. We live in a society where we sit around 80% of the time. We don´t move
as much as we did. How often do you take the lift instead of the stairs, or wait 20
minutes for a metro when you could have walked? Do a little exercise every day and
build it up
13. Don´t fry, bake instead. Too many people still fry things. We know this is bad. One the
oil that is used is bad, and secondly when it is heated to high temperatures it makes it
even worse. If you put things in the oven they will taste as good, if not better, and be
kinder to your body.
Use these few little health and diet hacks to improving your waistline, appearance and
health.
