Meal plans can be good options in the short term, to achieve a particular goal, especially weight loss. However, they’re not designed to last forever. Why? Because they’re just too restrictive and demanding. So, if you’re at the point of wanting something sustainable, check out these tips.

 

1. Start with one step at a time

 

Instead of planning out every meal and snack for the day, really focus on one meal — breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Let’s say you focus on making improvements to your lunch. Master, then move on to the next meal. These improvements can include things like:

• Adding veggies

• Drinking less sweet drinks and more water

• Eating less processed foods

• Eating slower and more mindfully

• Enjoying your meal at a table or desk, not while on the go

 

2. Go slowly and gradually

 

After making those improvements to your lunch for a week or longer, try doing that with another meal or your snacks. Slow and steady wins the race, no need to make drastic changes all at once. When you take your time and make the gradual changes, it starts to get easier and easier.

 

3. Set yourself up for success

 

Are you finding it easier to add veggies and fruits into your day, or choosing herbal tea over sugary coffee drinks? Or perhaps, you’re enjoying cooking your food more, compared to buying a pre-packaged meal. Whatever the case, do more of what comes easy to you. That will get you on a roll and build up your confidence so you can continue on the path to making positive and lasting lifestyle changes.

 

4. Mindful Eating 

Once upon a time, we used to gather around a table to eat with our family and friends. Now, we eat in our car, while standing, and do it as quickly as possible to move on with our day. Instead, break this habit and look forward to your meals, give thanks for your food, find a peaceful place to sit, and enjoy it bite by bite. Side benefit: Your digestion system will work a whole lot better too.
