]]> If you, like millions of other people, find yourself staying at home all of a sudden, it can be difficult to stay productive and not fall into some new, bad habits. Sitting at home often goes together with eating more, and if you want to avoid this, here are our best tips.

Don’t Skip Meals

You may think that you will eat less if you skip breakfast or lunch, you’ll probably compensate for everything in the evening plus a lot more. Starving yourself will only lead to food cravings and you’ll crave unhealthy food and snacks most of the time.

Snack

Snacks are not bad, but you need to choose them carefully. Avoid industrial snacks and candy and go for nuts, fruits, yogurt, peanut butter, etc. There’s actually a big selection of healthy snacks you can enjoy every day!

Exercise

Exercising will help you fight stress that’s often the cause of overeating. If you’re already into exercise, make sure to keep the habit during the quarantine. If you haven’t been very active recently, now is a great time to start an online program and slowly get better on your own terms.

HOW TO LEVEL UP YOUR (Physical) YOGA PRACTICE today I started the 90Days Total True strength challenge by @dylanwerneryoga (actually – since the quarantine I did one of his classes almost everyday but let’s say I’m on day one). Over the last years my own practice changed so much (for the better) – I was always flexible therefore passive splits and lots of fancy poses were never a super big challenge. But trust me, only being flexible is not what you want for your body. If you’re naturally flexible like I am you have to work on your strength to create balance and to be safe in your asanas. If your goal is a steady, healthy and sustainable yoga practice use this time to get to know your body. What are your weak points, what can you work on? Where do you need more space and where do you need stability? 💚 I hope you’re doing well guys Sending lots of love 💚 📸 @tinagrohphoto Wearing @lululemonde

Cut it Up

Though it may sound too simple to believe, but you are much more likely to eat something that is already prepared for you. This is especially true even with things that can be eaten without being cut, like apples, pears, and oranges; try it out. That apple at the bottom of your bag will become so much more appealing once you have a cleaner, easier way to eat besides getting your hand sticky with all the juices. 

Blend It

One amazing way to get both fruits and vegetables into your diet more than you already do is by making them disappear into smoothies, soups, and sauces! When vegetables and fruits are combined and blended, they become something totally new and definitely more exciting. If there are certain fruits you like more than others, put them together to create a gorgeous masterpiece. And if you ever make a blended soup or sauce, make sure you’re throwing in extra leafy greens to get your calcium and iron intake up!
