As you know, a healthy diet is always synonymous with balance.

Eating until you are satisfied enough is one thing, eating until you no longer want to eat because otherwise you will break out another.

And often, those looking to stay fit try to keep two things under control: the calorie calculation or the portions. Or both.

This ensures that you are not overeating, but there is a problem.

Calculating calories is stressful , and it’s not quite the best way to eat healthy.

Food is reduced to its calories and in order not to exceed a certain daily ceiling, one ends up excluding foods dense in calories but also in nutrients, for example fatty fish such as trout or salmon, caloric but useful fruits for metabolism such as avocado, seeds and nuts.

It is also bad to reduce everything to a mere calculation, while knowing how to juggle the right portions would be enough to eliminate the problem and eat less but better.

That’s how:

1. The size of the plate does not matter: it would be a hoax that those who eat smaller plates serve less food.
2. It is important to give in to your cravings (but on a smaller scale).
   We must never eliminate certain foods, but be virtuous for eighty percent of our meals, and go wrong for twenty percent. Do you like snacks? Eat half of it plus one sour fruit. Do you like French fries? Eat a dozen only after starting with a large salad. Would you like a piece of cake? Eat 3 bites or share it with your partner.
3. Eat slower: chewing slowly. Works. It makes you eat less, because the sense of satiety is recognized first by the brain.
4. Don’t cook like shit: use vanilla for a chocolate cream, use cinnamon for an apple-based snack, always cook something appetizing, perhaps spicy or rich in aromatic herbs. Smell and taste help fill us up earlier.
5. Focus on the plate : don’t eat something on the fly while working or busy. It doesn’t make you go hungry.
