5 Nutrition Mistakes You Need to Avoid this Summer

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

In fact, alcohol tends to make you feel thirstier, hungrier, and least concerned about what you’re ingesting. This can make you rapidly add on more pounds.

How to Fix it:

To start, make a plan and be committed to sticking to it. Before you drink, determine exactly how many alcoholic drinks you’ll be having a day. Ideally, women should set one drink a day, and men no more than two.

Setting a limit can help you prevent overdrinking. And to stick to your limit, start with a calorie-free drink like seltzer, and then, replace your alcoholic drinks with non-caloric ones.

You also try to eat lighter and healthier meals throughout the day to balance the added alcohol-related calories. Or you may consider making your own amazing cocktails.

3. Not Drinking Enough Water

The Problem:

Sweet treats are especially loaded with calories and high in fat content.

A bigger problem is that sweets can never keep you feeling full, they only provide you with an energy rush followed by a crash.

Moreover, energy dips often result in an increased craving for even more sweets, so you end up overeating, mostly on junk food.

How to Fix it:

You should take advantage of natural sugary goodies to fulfill your sweet cravings. Naturally sweet foods with no added sugar mainly include fruits and are particularly much lower in calories than those with added sweeteners and flavors. Besides, fruits are rich in nutrients.

Of course, we’re all familiar with the temptation to cool off with cold and refreshing sweet treats such as frozen yogurt and ice cream, but having alternative fixes is what saves us from being tricked. You can try blended frozen fruit or mix it with nut milk or yogurt, it really works wonders.

You may also want to try cooling off with drinking some fruit-infused water or a fresh fruit smoothie, which can include any fruit along with yogurt and healthy add-ins, such as cinnamon, ginger, or cocoa.
This will help you stay fit, refreshed, and satisfy your sweet tooth.
