Your Recipe for Better Eating Habits

You know, it’s simply impossible to get away with eating poorly and expecting good health. As tempting as it is to eat convenience foods and sugar-filled treats, poor diet habits could lead to weight gain and a big long list of potential health problems. By the way, weight gain could be a health problem in itself – don’t try to fool yourself.

For some of us, poor eating habits are comprised of snacks and unhealthy fast food. For others, we love to prepare home-cooked meals that are loaded with fats and other not-so healthful ingredients. The fruits and vegetables that we bring home from the grocery sit in the refrigerator or on the kitchen counter and languish. How can we change poor diet habits to healthy diet habits? The answer is this – it all has to start with your decision to take better care of your body for your health and your own healthy self-image.

You know, changing poor diet habits doesn’t have to be as awful as it sounds. There are so many wonderfully creative and even easy ways to eat well that healthy eating can actually become a pleasure. Once you adopt some simple changes to your routine, you won’t want to go back to your poor diet habits.

Healthy and energizing eating habits Here are some basic pointers for changing your unhealthy diet to a tasty and healthy one:

* Reduce your intake of “bad” foods, but don’t totally eliminate them. Surprise! You can have treats and convenience foods once in a while. You just cannot rely on them for the bulk of your calories or nutrition. You will have to make a conscious effort at reduce these foods.

* Eat a variety of nutrient rich foods. Variety is the key to any good, healthy diet. You can have a wonderful array of different foods every day. Choose lots of fruits and vegetables, and shy away from sweets, saturated fats and salt.

* Choose whole grain breads and cereals. Substitute them for the white breads and processed grains you may have been eating. Many restaurants now offer some grainy breads and rolls to enjoy instead of common white breads.

* Pay attention to portion. A portion size is generally what you can hold in the palm of your hand, about the size of a deck of cards. This is a shocker for some of us who are used to eating portions that are much larger than that!

* Eat regular meals. Some of us like three meals a day and some like five or six small meals a day. Listen to what your body tells you it prefers. Don’t skip meals though; it leads to gorging yourself later, sometimes on unhealthy foods!

* Make changes gradually. Yes, change your poor diet habits to good diet habits, but do it over time. Give yourself time to adjust to your new and healthier ways of eating.

* Eat home-prepared meals and take your lunch to work with you rather than dining at restaurants and fast food places. Dining out should be a rarity; eating healthy home cooked meals should be the norm.

There is your recipe for healthy eating habits. It will take you a bit of time, and you’ll have to do your homework, but you can successfully change your poor eating habits to good ones. You’ll begin to notice that you look and feel healthier and have more energy. This will spur you on to continue to eat well, and the cycle of improvement will go on. Before you know it, you won’t even miss the poor diet you once had.
