Feel Good, Eat Well!
Eat to please thyself, and dress to please others. No matter what your day comprises, no matter what your dietary regimen is, it is vital that you stay happy with your body, and feel good about yourself. Eating more than a designated portion should not leave you feeling guilty, and eating too less might wind up making you crabby or annoyed. Here are some important things to keep in mind when you eat – to make sure that your health is not compromised on.
1. Eat healthy as a matter of natural choice. Be intuitive about what you eat, and don’t follow rules and diets blindly or for the sake of a trend that you’re trying to follow. Do what is best for your body and mind and don’t impose anything on yourself.

2. Make eating an independent activity and don’t eat while watching television or working. Always breathe deeply, be thankful for every morsel and chew your food well. Follow a diet and stick to it sincerely. For best results, start this well in advance of the festive season, so that you lapse into the routine.
3. Eat small portions – or in moderation. Everything does taste good, but keep your appetite in check. If you think you’re likely to binge, then stop for a moment and start sharing sweets – it gives maximum pleasure and also makes sure that you don’t end up eating too many.
4. Fall back on healthy options like fresh and dry fruits, and make it a point to serve people who visit you, with this rather than fat filled and processed food.
5. Take smaller portions of sweets.
6. Avoid fried food and keep your eye on roasted, steamed and sautéed food so that you don’t wind up eating inappropriately.
7. Opt for foods that have a lot of water content in them, especially because they are filling and are low in calories, fats and sugars.
8. If it comes to drinking a beverage, ensure that you don’t compromise on taste while keeping the health factor in order. Pick a beverage where you have the option between drinking and eating something. Make healthier versions of sweets and snacks, using organic or natural ingredients.

9. Never starve or deprive yourself of anything – a binge phase follows deprivation and the results are not good!
