If it isn't there you can't eat it.... so consider- how much 'junk' food do you have stashed in the fridge, the pantry, or kitchen cupboards? Eating healthier may require you to rid your home of all foods that do not fit into 'healthy' categories. Limit junk foods as much as possible so that you will not be tempted to snack during idle time. Keep only healthy snacks like carrot sticks, broccoli, cauliflower, celery or dry roasted peanuts on hand. If you find that you struggle with the sweets, substitute fresh fruits that are naturally sweet, like apples, grapes or oranges.
You aren't the only one who will reap the benefits of a better diet. Anyone living in your household will also be eating better. Don't let family members who may be used to having junk food around deter you. Enlist their help.
When preparing for a new healthy diet, you should take into consideration your schedule for meals. Although convenient, eating fast food at odd times of the day, is not going to provide you with the best nutrition. Plan ahead - instead of grabbing that burger to go, take a sack lunch to work, complete with fresh fruits and vegetables. Plan your healthy meals for the evening as well by cooking ahead (slow cooker) if you anticipate having little time when you get home.
Start with small steps on your new program. Replace one soda per day with a glass of water. If you eat fast food every day for lunch, try replacing that every other day at first, again with fresh fruits and vegetables. By taking small steps, it does not seem as if you are cutting out all of the foods you love. This will enable you to take your time and learn about all of the healthy foods which you will come to love as well.
If you are currently struggling to eat a healthy diet, you know that it can be difficult to start and maintain such a plan. However, YOU CAN DO IT! To truly get the most out of the body you have been given, it is so important for you to get started on the right track. Much like a properly tuned engine, your body needs the right mixture of fuel to function at peak efficiency.
Diet refers to the foods we eat. Eating for good health, control of a condition like high blood pressure or cholesterol, or for weight loss are different yet alike in that eating healthy foods is essential if you want to feel and look good.
