Let's chat about how to reduce carbohydrates in your diet. LISTEN   READ Reducing carbohydrates in your overall diet is a good idea because out of all the macronutrients, it is the one that causes the most problems. In fact focusing on healthy carbohydrates and managing what you eat can improve your health dramatically, regulate your blood sugar, and help you lose weight. So how can you reduce carbohydrates in your diet without going totally crazy? Well here are a few tips to give you a helping hand. 1. Do It One Step At A Time If you go cold turkey and cut out all forms of carbs it would probably send you into a bit of a frenzy. Have you ever cut out the sugar? Or maybe cut out coffee? Well cutting down the carbohydrates is much the same, you WILL have some kind of withdrawal if you just make the cut. So it's better to do it one step at a time and reduce your intake slowly. That way you can find some great alternatives and get into a better eating pattern and routine that you can stick to and enjoy. 2. Avoid Beverages High In Sugar Beverages are the easiest way to overconsume carbohydrates in your diet. So as a rule: DON'T drink your sugar! This means avoiding fruit juice, soft drinks, cordials, sports drinks, and flavored mineral waters. 3. Eat Protein Rich Snacks Although we often crave carbs, have you noticed that they don't keep you full for very long? And have you noticed that you often crave more carbs? Protein is naturally more satiating, meaning it fills you up more and keeps you fuller longer! So that's a win-win for you if you are trying to reduce carbohydrates, right? The key here is organization, by prepared and then you can't go wrong. So here are some ideas for protein rich snacks. 1/4 cup cottage cheese topped with some blueberries Hard boiled eggs A handful of nuts or seeds Eat a leftover meat patty or sliced chicken breast slices A tablespoon of nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter 4. Keep a list of carbohydrate replacements handy Here are 10 great ideas to help get you started: Replace rice with cauliflower rice Replace pasta with konjac noodles Replace bread with lettuce leaves and make a breadless burger Triple your veggie intake, the fiber is awesome, has loads of benefits and fills you up Replace crisps with popcorn and get more bang for your buck Limit rice, pasta, and potatoes to no more than 1/2 cup at one sitting Replace sugar filled flavored yogurt with homemade greek style berry yogurt Eat lots of fresh salads Eat eggs and veggies at breakfast instead of cereals and toast If you're craving sugar, eat a whole piece of fruit That should give you some ideas on how to get started! Although it's no good just thinking about it because if you really want to reduce carbohydrates in your diet, you actually have to be prepared and DO IT :) It's not as hard as you think. I remember the first time I served cauliflowr rice to my partner and he was pleasantly surprised that it tasted almost exactly like rice. We still eat brown rice sometimes, but not all the time. The good thing is to have options and then you can reduce the overall carbohydrates you eat.

You'll also find a downloadable meal planning template below to hep get you started :)   PODCAST TRANSCRIPT I was recently helping a client by designing them a meal plan because she happens to have a new job and just doesn’t have the time to plan. She also felt her health was slipping so having an easy meal plan was a great way to get her back on track without having to thin about it. And that’s what we are going to talk about today, meal planning and hopefully I’ll be able to provide some helpful practical tips on how to go about it. Are you a meal planner or do you just make things on the fly? I often set a plan because it saves money, saves time, saves stress, and stops you wandering off eating things you might not want to eat. How does it save money? You buy only what you need to make the meals, so there is much less food wastage, meaning you’re not throwing money in the trash. If you do have left over food items or things in the pantry you want to use up, then you can factor those into your meal plan and it saves you money. Also, if you stick to your list you stop making impulsive buys. Supermarkets often try to get us to make impulsive buys based on ‘specials’ but often we really don’t need or want those items. So keep your radars on and stick to the list because it really does save you money in the long run. Having a meal plan also saves you time, stress and wandering. Take a second to reflect on how much time you think about what you are going to have for dinner, or what you are going to take to work for lunch. If you don’t make a plan you have to think about it day in and day out and it takes time and energy. It can also lead to more stress if you’re left having to make decisions right at the last minute. Or you might go and grab take away because you’re feeling stressed and then you start beating yourself up because you didn’t eat as healthy as you’d like and so you become even more stressed. I think you get the picture and you’ve probably experienced these things yourself from time to time. But we don’t have to if we get into the habit of meal planning. So today I’ve got 10 meal planning tips to share that might help you get into a meal planning habit. 1. Make the time to plan Sounds like an obvious thing to mention but unless we take an hour or so to plan then the plan is never going to happen. Although planning does take time, I find in the long run it saves me time, energy, money and stress! I often do my shopping on Sunday mornings. In general I get up pretty early so I just spend time over a cup of tea and work out what the week might look like. You get better at it over time so just start somewhere, even if it’s just planning dinners at first. Schedule a time to do it. 2. Think about your weekly schedule I look at my diary while I’m making a meal plan because then I can make sure I have the right meals prepared for the right time. If I’m going to be home late on Tuesday, I certainly don’t want to be short on time to cook and have to prepare tomorrows meals as well. So on days like this I will often have stuff in the freezer that I get out in the morning and throw together with a salad. Or I’ll put on a crockpot meal and leave it cooking on low all day so dinner is done when I get home. If I have my weekly schedule available while meal planning I can then also plan the times during the week when I might spend a bit more time in the kitchen. 3. Batch cook Batch cooking is my saviour when it comes to sticking to and planning my eating schedule with my day to day living schedule. I usually make extra cooking time on Sundays and prepare extra things for freezing and for those days when time is short. I might do this again during the week once if need be and I always say if you’re going to spend time cooking then why just make one meal, Jedha Dening: Nutrition & Health Coach, Speaker. clean 15:10 http://goodfoodeating.org/8200/easy-healthy-15-minute-meals/ http://goodfoodeating.org/8200/easy-healthy-15-minute-meals/#respond Wed, 17 Sep 2014 10:00:00 +0000 http://goodfoodeating.org/?p=8200 http://goodfoodeating.org/8200/easy-healthy-15-minute-meals/feed/ 0 http://goodfoodeating.org/6805/the-seat-method-to-healthy-eating/ http://goodfoodeating.org/6805/the-seat-method-to-healthy-eating/#respond Sat, 24 May 2014 07:30:00 +0000 http://goodfoodeating.org/?p=6805 http://goodfoodeating.org/6805/the-seat-method-to-healthy-eating/feed/ 0 http://goodfoodeating.org/6529/weekly-weight-loss-meal-plan/ http://goodfoodeating.org/6529/weekly-weight-loss-meal-plan/#respond Sat, 12 Apr 2014 10:00:00 +0000 http://goodfoodeating.org/?p=6529 http://goodfoodeating.org/6529/weekly-weight-loss-meal-plan/feed/ 0 http://goodfoodeating.org/5497/online-cooking-class/ http://goodfoodeating.org/5497/online-cooking-class/#respond Fri, 17 Jan 2014 02:00:00 +0000 http://goodfoodeating.org/?p=5497 http://goodfoodeating.org/5497/online-cooking-class/feed/ 0
