For Those Who Want to Watch Their Weight Healthy Nigerian food timetable by Erons Collins On our blog, weve been discussing how to get a flat tummy and some ladies requested that I do a healthy Nigerian food timetable. Ive tried my best to make it family-friendly. You can serve your family most of the meals in this timetable: its a bit more difficult sticking to eating right when youre the only one eating this way. Ill also give a few tips on how to use this timetable: 1. You dont have to follow it strictly : its just a guide. Mix and match. Add your own ideas. After all, youre the one eating it. Just make sure its healthy. 2. Eat small portions of carbohydrates at every meal. For example, try not to eat more than a cooking spoon of rice or beans. Dont eat more than 1 finger of boiled plantain or 2 slices of yam. 3. Stop when youre full. Dont force yourself to finish your food. Dont help your husband or kids finish their food either. :P 4. If possible, get a digital kitchen scale. Weigh your cereal. You wont believe that 1 serving of some cereals are about 200 calories for 40g of cereal. Dont eat more than 2 servings of that cereal oh! 5. Snack on fruits e.g apples, avocados, mangoes, etc. you can also snack on yoghurt. Healthy Cereals are also a good snack. If possible, always have a healthy snack in your purse or handbag just I case you get hungry. 6. Dont skip meals if possible. This can make your body metabolism slow down and youll find that youre not losing weight. Besides, when you skip meals, you might get very very hungry and jump on a huge bowl of eba! 7. Dont drink your calories. A glass of juice is about 100 - 120 calories depending on the type. Opt for water or Green Tea. 8. Eat lots of vegetables. 9. Onions are great for weight loss. Cook with lots of onions. 10. Dont too much meat or chicken. In a bid to avoid carbs, some people (including myself) end up eating a lot of meat! 11. Prepare your lunch the previous evening and take it to work or school. That way, you control what YOU eat.
