The reason that staying fit is difficult is only because of food.

For foodies, being fit is the struggle of the heart and full of cream-filled doughnuts and ice creams.
So, for all the foodies out there, the first step towards being fit is knowing your body well. Slow metabolism people must work hard for being fit rather than fast metabolism people.
Here, these tips can make you fitness go along with your favorite food,
Ways to make foodie and fit together
1. Drinking at least 2 glasses of water before any of your favorite meal
Drinking water is a sure shot of eating less of your favorite food, which will eventually help in balancing your diet and end up eating regretfully humongous portions. Moreover, water speeds up your metabolism and aids the digestion of food, preventing bloating and acidity. And one old-school tip is to walk a few miles after every meal of your favorite food. This is the very easiest and first step towards being fit with being a foodie.
2. Pile up on healthy fats, proteins, and fiber
Healthy fats, proteins and fibres are essential nutrients for your body. Let’s take the example of eggs, milk and fish can be made into very tasty and delicious dishes which in turn helps in muscle development and repair. Secondly, fruit puddings and fresh vegetable sandwiches with extra mayo and cheese as a normal foodie likes can help you feel fuller for a long time. Dark chocolate can be the sweet regime for foodie cravings.
3. Don’t eat late in night
The foremost and easiest tip to be fit and foodie at the same time is eating your favorites of food at the right time. Avoid eating too late at night, which guarantees you with a flatter tummy that you like along with being a foodie eating your favorite food. This can be done by setting up the alarm for like 6 to 7 in the evening to remember to eat your meal at time.

6. Do some legwork
This point is not asking you to do vigorous exercises to be fit and foodie at the same time, it is just a way to take small steps like taking stairs instead of a lift for going up, keeping your instant food items away from you so that you have to walk a little to get that food, try to walk a little which can be done by calling your close friend, family or relative which turns your mind towards the talk rather than exhausting you from walking. Basically, the motive is to keep you on your toes, which will help you burn your calories without even knowing it.
7. Maintain a Cheat Day
You don’t necessarily have to give up on all your favorite junk foods. Maintain a day to reward yourself for not giving in your cravings every so often. It can be the weekend, as it is time you are most likely to go out and eat. Decide on one dish that you have resisted for the longest time and eat it on your cheat day. This will single-handedly motivate you to work out and satiate the foodie in you.
