Here are some ideas on how to get started on eating healthily.
Try them!
1. Start your day right
It is important to have a good breakfast just to help give the fuel to start your day.
2. Do not skip meals
3. Eat Proportionately
Organize your calorie intake wisely according to each meal. This covers the 3 main meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and two snacks.
4. Watch those snacks
Let's admit it. Snacks taste great. However, some snacks are high in fat and salt. If you really must have junk food, eat a small portion and don't ever have a refill. Instead, substitute your unhealthy snacks with your favorite fruits. Craving for some chocolate? Not a problem but only choose low fat dark chocolate.
5. Do not overcook your vegetables
Because overcooking causes vegetables to lose their many nutrients.
6. Beware of dressings and sauces
Especially rich or creamy gravies, mayonnaise, thousand island and cheese dressings.
7. Get on the move
Moderate physical activity helps burn off those extra calories. It is also good for the heart and circulatory system and for general health and well being. So, make physical activity part of your daily routine. Use the stairs instead of the lift/elevator (up and down!). Take a walk during lunch. Park your car a little further. Get on the move!
