Drop a 🙋🏾♀️ if you set a goal to eat well this year... 🤔
The thing is most New Years resolutions around eating well are terrible….. 😖😑
By February most who resolved to eat well are right back to old habits.
Instead of extremes, like cutting out carbs, gluten, doing a juice fast, or only eating raw foods, here are simple, achievable things you can do every day to eat well and stick with it:
🫑 Start with colorful produce - focus what you can add to each meal. What non-starchy vegetables do you like? Make a list and place it somewhere visible.
🍤 Eat protein at each meal - eat a variety of lean protein, especially heart healthy fish, like salmon, cod and tuna, and vegetarian sources, like beans and lentils.
🍆Try a new veggie each week - have fun with it and try new flavors. Turn those veggies into a sauce, dip or pizza topping. Keep a variety of fresh, frozen and canned veggies on hand.
🫐 Focus on fiber - fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, whole grains - all plant-based whole foods contain fiber. Including fiber-rich foods helps us stay fuller longer, manage our blood sugar, and keeps our bowels healthy.
💦 Drink up - As a general rule of thumb, aim to drink half your body weight in kg in water. Although, Argus varies widely from person to person. Monitoring your urine is really the best hydration guide
😋 Honor your hunger and fullness - get in touch with your body’s innate hunger and satisfaction cues. Our bodies are intelligent, but many of us have learned to override those signals. Also, when your meals aren’t balanced and/or your stomach is stretched beyond its normal capacity, it may be harder to recognize hunger and satiety cues.
Now tell me, which one of these tips resonated with you most? How’s it going out there?👇🏾
