12 Habits of girls who are always skinny...

1. They don’t ban their favourite foods, but do eat them in moderation.

2. They cook at home. (According to a 2016 study from European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, we eat more when we eat out). 

3. They eat an early dinner. (According to studies, we tend to eat more in the evening because we’re usually unwinding and more relaxed)

4. They weight themselves weekly, rather than daily.

5. They pass on the “Supersize”

6. They eat until they are no longer hungry. (Rather than stopping when they feel full). 

7. They typically eat breakfast. (Skipping breakfast can lead to overeating. Studies suggest a high protein breakfast to feel full for longer).

8. They exercise daily. (Aside from burning calories, exercise also releases feel-good endorphins that enhance one’s well being).

9. They snack on fewer calories and keep track of calorie intake. 

10. They chew more. (Eating slower may help you feel full faster).

11. They have a regular bedtime. (Poor sleep is consistently linked to weight gain and stress, which can lower metabolism). 

12. The sometimes know for eating less meat. (According to Psychology Today, most people expect to lose 5 - 10 lbs by not eating meat).

Great checklist. The ones that surprised me are; a regular bedtime and they typically eat breakfast. There’s a lot of focus on “Intermittent Fasting” these days. A recent article also suggested healthy eating, with less focus on calorie counting. All great ideas. See what works I guess. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
