While what we eat is extremely important when it comes to losing weight. When and where we eat can make just as much a difference. Here are the ten simple healthy eating habits that can help you shred inches FAST!
1. What to eat – No magic food causes weight loss and no food is inherently fattening. Eat a variety of foods from meat, legumes, dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, and a small amount of fat daily.
Vegetables and fruits are a great source of vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates in fruits, milk, grains, and legumes will give you quick energy for the first 2 hours while the protein in milk, meat, and legumes will keep you satisfied for 4 hours.
The fat in meat and milk as well as a fat added to foods will keep you satisfied for 6 hours.

2. Where to eat – Eliminate eating in the car, bus, train, walking, standing, or on the phone. Make time to eat meals and snacks by sitting down at a table. People that eat on the go tend to eat more and more of the wrong things. It’s just like the age-old saying, “if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.”
3. When to eat – Eat breakfast and two other meals each day. People who eat breakfast are less likely to snack in the evening. Eat at least every 4 to 6 hours when awake rather than waiting until your stomach starts growling.
4. How much to eat – Calories count. Choose smaller portion sizes. Forget those supersizes as they are expensive to your waistline.
5. Shopping & eating out – If you don’t buy it or make it, food has a hard time finding its way into your mouth. Shop from a grocery list and after a meal when you are not hungry to limit impulse buying.
