Building Healthy Habits
Healthy eating habits are essential for anyone looking to improve their fitness. Start by making small changes to your diet. Swap out processed foods for whole foods, eat smaller bits and portions of typically unhealthy food, and aim to include a variety of colours on your plate during the day.
Meal Planning
Planning your meals can help you stay on track. Set aside time each week to prepare healthy meals and snacks. This not only saves time but also reduces the temptation to choose unhealthy options.
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating by paying attention to your hunger cues and really tasting each bite. This can help prevent overeating and promote a healthier relationship with food.
Stay Informed
Educate yourself about nutrition. Understanding what your body needs can empower you to make better food choices. Knowledge is power when it comes to healthy eating. When you have learned about what food does for example through logging food in an app, it will become second nature and soon you won't need the app anymore.
'Healthy eating is a way of life, so it's important to establish routines that are simple, realistic, and (eventually) enjoyable.'
