2. What do you think is the most common question is
when it comes to eating healthy?
ïŒ What is healthy eating?
ïŒ How to eat healthy?
ïŒ What are the healthy foods?
ïŒ What should I eat?
3. Eating healthy is not just about what types of food to
eat or choosing to become a vegetarian. Healthy eating
as I would put it, is taking in nutritious foods in a
manner that is healthy and proper and safe; promoting
a discipline or a lifestyle that benefits your body, soul
and spirit.
Whether or not you will choose to eat more vegetables
than processed foods, the most important thing is you
are completely aware of the benefits of what you are
taking inside your body.
4. If you feel like you want to start eating healthier foods,
but need some direction, here is an 8-step process to
get you on the right track.
Now, remember that it takes four weeks to form a
habit; so successfully doing each one of these steps for
a month will likely bring you the change that you want
by October. However, if you make a conscious effort,
you could be eating healthy much sooner than that.
5. Step 1: Pack Your Lunch
It is the process of providing your own food for lunch
every day. Hopefully, you are already eating breakfast
and dinner at home; however, if you are not, then try
to start doing so 5-6 days a week before moving on to
the next step.
Why?: Packing your own lunch shows you that you
have control of what you eat. (It will also save you
money)
6. Step 2: SLOWLY Change What You Eat
Now that you are providing your own food, try to make
slow changes towards healthy foods. For instance, if
you are eating a sandwich, change from white to wheat
bread. If you are drinking a Dr. Pepper for lunch,
switch to water. Every step from this point on will help
in this gradual change.
Why?: Changing as little as one thing at a time will
make it easier to ease into a new lifestyle. It also shows
that you have the power to change what you eat.
7. Step 3: Start to Create a Meal Plan
Start by writing down for meals for tomorrow, then the
next two days, then the next three days, etc.
Eventually, you will be able to plan for your entire
week ahead of time.
Why?: This will make it easier to visualize where you
need to make changes in your meals.
Hint: It might help to not list the same meal for every
breakfast/lunch/dinner this week, just so you get an
idea of what meal options you have available.
8. Step 4: Cut the Sugar
I am not saying you should cut out ALL sugar, but if it
comes in a can or package, then it is probably time to
let it go. Eat natural sugars like fruits or honey (but
don't go crazy with the honey). This will be one of the
hardest stages of the whole process.
Why?: Processed sugars are a leading cause of weight
gain. Cutting these out may help you lose weight, get
clear skin, and feel healthier in general.
9. Step 5: Move to Whole Wheat
After you cut out the sugar, this may be a relatively
easy move to make. Start switching all of your breads,
pastas, and rice to whole grain. If it is a processed
grain or white flour, now is the time to quit eating it.
Why?: You probably are not actually getting that
much nutrients from white grains. You will get more
vitamins, minerals, and nutrients like fiber from
healthy whole grain bread.
10. Step 6: Lean Meat
Compared to the first couple of steps, this will be a
good deal easier. Start buying leaner meats like
chicken, lean ground meat, and fish. Don't be afraid to
get some red meat as well, just make sure it is a low fat
cut and that you only eat it once a week.
Why?: After all of the changes you have made so far,
you are still getting a good deal of fat and sodium from
fatty or processed meats. Getting lean meat will help
cut out these unnecessary amounts of fat.
11. Step 7: Veggies
Pretty simple step, just make sure you are getting a
serving of vegetables every meal.
Why?: You can get a lot more vitamins and minerals
from vegetables. They are rich in nutritional value.
12. Step 8: Moderation
Do not be afraid to live a little. Sometimes it is ok to
get desert, eat a nice steak, or eat a little bit of white
bread at a meal out. The trick is learning that
moderation goes both ways: if you eat too much
healthy foods you may get sick of them, but if you eat
too little you endanger your own health.
Why?: We do not have that many years to live on this
earth, learn to live healthy, but also enjoy yourself.
