You have probably heard the phrase “there is no better time than now” or how about this one, “you are what you eat.” As a fan of clichés I chose these ones were ideal for starting a healthy diet. Exercise, though beneficial to both your health and fitness goals, often can not prevail alone. You also need to focus on making informed food choices for a more balanced and healthy diet. Here are a few tips on how you can choose the right foods to fuel your body and continue your path to a healthier you!
• Eat breakfast. You will boost your metabolism and consume fewer calories throughout the day.
• Stay away from food that is labeled battered, bottomless, breaded, buttery, cheesy, creamy, fried, giant, loaded, smothered, or stuffed.
• Watch your portions. Split entrees and say NO to super-sizing.
• Fill up on fiber such as fruits, veggies, whole grains, and beans.
• 4-6 servings of vegetables daily is a great way to add nutritious and low calories to your meals and snacks.
• Be a brown bagger and take your lunch to work. Not only will you save money, but you can control your calories and nutrients.
• Get friends and family involved. When you have a social network of healthy eaters, you’re bound to make right choices.
