Some diet plans can be intimidating, some can be boring and some can feel impossible to follow. We have all been there and almost quit the diet because of that too.
But that may not be the only reason everyone quits dieting faster than most fitness routines. People have this notion that diets are always about being strict and restricting yourself instead of taking it as a fun activity. We know it isn’t completely fun to eat the foods you probably don’t eat often. But we are not joking here. If you want to know more, keep reading to get some creative tips to have fun with your diet plan.
We went through an extensive amount of articles, read people’s social media posts and even asked a few of our closest friends to come up with this blog. So read until the end, not just for you but for us too.
Creative tips to have fun with your diet plan:
Have a food diary
This food diary is not just to track your meals but also to track everything else you do and feel while eating those meals. It should be similar to a normal diary. Instead of writing about your day or how you felt about the day or with whom you spent the day, you will be doing it about the food. The important things you should write in this food diary are:
● The date and time you ate the food
● With whom you prepped and ate the food
● Where you ate it
● What kind of activity were you doing while eating (watching a match or a show etc.)
● What mood were you were in while eating the food
● If you liked it or not and how much of it you were able to finish
Yes, it may sound a lot at first but many have found this to be incredibly helpful. If you love journaling then this will make you excited to start the diet plan.
Customize your food
If you are living with your parents, it can be hard to do this particular creative tip. But if they are cool with it and encourage you, it will be pretty fun. You can personalize your meals by decorating them like your personality or your mood. Parents with toddlers often follow this way to get their children excited for mealtime. You don’t have to make dinosaur nuggets or anything. Just customize the food according to whatever you can think of to have fun with your new diet plan.
Have a diet partner
Whether it’s your partner, your best friend or even your mother, having a diet partner can be fun. No matter what happens you both suffer together (Relax, just joking). This will also help you to have someone you can diet meals with so you won’t feel so lonely. It is similar to how having an exercise partner motivates you to work out more because at least you are not alone.
Bottom line, even without any of these creative tips you can have fun with your diet plan in your way. And once you start having fun you might even end up adopting the same diet plan for life.
