People ask me from time to time, “How can I eat healthy in Texas”? The long answer is extremely unpopular, so follow the 5 simple steps below to get you started on the right track.
- Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables.
- Make at least half of your grains whole grains.
- Switch to low-fat (2%) milk.
- No soda.
- Reduce you sugar intake.
Eating natural and organic are other steps you should consider taking. Try preparing all your own meals and avoiding fast foods.
It takes willpower, desire, and consistency when making the right food choices for your health. In the beginning, allow yourself a cheat meal at least once a week. Think of it as your reward for good behavior. It does take time, but your tastes and preferred choices will eventually adapt to a more healthy eating lifestyle. Many people will fail if they try to eliminate everything all at once. Adapting to better food choices does not have to be torture. Start with baby steps and increase from there. Believe me, the rewards are more than worth the effort it will take.
I’ve given you some suggestions, but always seek the advice of a licensed professional nutritionist before attempting to modify your dietary intake. We are not all created equal when it comes to our nutritional requirements.
