If you want to eat
healthier, it's easy to think that you should change your entire diet in a day.
However, this can lead to feelings of deprivation, which will send you right
back into your bad habits. Instead, make healthy eating a lifestyle by changing
small parts of how you eat and drink over a longer period of time. Here are
some places you could start.
Ditch the Sugar
You've probably heard that
regular soda is bad for you. The reasoning behind this is that it is full of
sugar. But here's the thing: sugar hides in lots of places. If you want to eat
healthier, start by finding where sugar lurks in your diet. For instance, you
may not drink soda, but you might love frappuccinos or sugary condiments. Cut
these out of your diet, and you will be on a journey towards increased health.
Enjoy Your Favorites
While you might be tempted
to cut out all of your unhealthy favorites, you will be better off if you learn
to enjoy them in moderation. Instead, you decide what a reasonable portion is
of your favorites and learn to include them in your diet in moderation.
Include Protein
Eating more protein is a
great way to feel full and have longer-lasting energy, while still eating less
than you would have before. Lean meats are full of protein, but you can also
eat more eggs, beans, and nuts to ensure you are getting enough.
Making small changes in
your diet can be key as you walk the path to improved health. Cut out the sugar
but don't eliminate your favorite foods entirely, and be sure to get plenty of
protein so you never feel hungry.
