The kitchen is a hot commodity in the home. Everyone in the household finds themselves there throughout the day. What makes up your kitchen is a pretty big determiner of what you consume on a regular basis, so if you're looking to shed some pounds, listen up to these five things you can do in your kitchen to aid you in your weight loss journey.
- Make fruits and vegetables as accessible as chips are
Along with being a salty sensation, chips are also a go-to for snacking since they are convenient, while often times, fruits and vegetables need to be washed and cut up. To make them grab-and-go ready, make sure to wash and cut them, and then place them in an airtight container.
2. Double or triple the recipe
If you're making a healthy dinner, try to make a big batch of it and store in the fridge as a perfect leftover meal. That way, you can't blame your lack of time for the reason you couldn't make a healthy lunch.
3. Keep the junk out of your house
If you don't want the cookies, crackers or ice cream to be staring you in the face, begging you to take just one bite, then the answer is simple: don't buy them. Worried about cravings? Get the healthy version, like dark chocolate for dessert instead of store-bought cake.
4. Use smaller-sized plates
It's no secret that portion control is an important puzzle when it comes to weight loss. Rather than piling your dinner onto a huge plate, only have small ones in your home, that way you can only put so much on. You might find that you actually eat slower and feel fuller after that one portion.
5. Pre-make snack packs
If you want to ensure you opt for healthy snacks like nuts instead of chips, toss the correct serving size into a bag and take it with you to work.
