5 easy ways to start flexible dieting
Flexible dieting has enabled me to eat without feeling guilty and develop a healthy relationship with food. I used to eat hardly anything because I was scared of “getting fat”. I even remember trying to do a 3 day detox which consisted of only eating green vegetables, thought I’d be super toned but I just ended up binging on actual FOOD at the end of it!
Whenever I would eat chocolate or a takeaway or anything like that I used to feel soo guilty and want to work it off in the gym the next day. By learning how to flexible diet it isn't even a diet, it is a lifestyle and its not forever either because once you’re used to it and used to what portion sizes look like you can track much loosely. Now I usually enter my food in towards the end of the day because during the day I know what I’m eating and how much I have “left”.
Here are 5 easy ways to get started:
1. Download MyFitnesspal app, this is FREE
2. Start by working out your calories by clicking here
3. Once your calories are worked out, enter them into myfitnesspal (don’t let myfitnesspal set your
calories for you as it will usually set them super low!) then aim for around 100-120g protein
then hit the rest of your calories from carbs and fats
4. Get used to entering your foods in, once you're used to it, it does get so much quicker because
your food is already on there! You can also scan barcodes into the app too or enter your own
recipes
5. Patience and consistency! As with anything you need to be consistent with this and patient if
this is new to you as it won’t be a walk in the park at first BUT after a week or two it'll feel much more natural and easy :)
