Simple adjustments to a healthier YOU

There is a lot of information we see online about different diet plans available that make us think of the questions — What’s the best diet to follow? Which one will work for me? Going back to basics is the simplest answer to these questions. Here are the little adjustments that you can start doing today but can do big to achieve a healthier diet.

The Way of Whole Grain 

Let’s be honest… pasta is the best dish ever. Unfortunately, it’s packed with carbs that don’t help when trying to eat healthier. Instead, try whole-grain pasta! Whole grain pasta not only has fewer carbs, but it also has more protein, fiber, and vitamins. This protein-packed pasta will have you turning down seconds and feeling healthier in no time. 

No Fried Food Friday

Fried food is another delicious meal that harms our health. Cut back on your fried food intake and realize how much better you feel. It may be hard to stop eating fried food all at once, so try, “No fried food Friday.” By avoiding fried food one day a week, you’ll feel healthier and realize you can accomplish anything! 

Small Plate, Please

Portion control is a huge factor in your eating habits. It also makes the largest difference when trying to enhance your well-being. Start eating off smaller plates to trick your mind into thinking you’re eating the same amount of food. If you’re eating out and don’t have this option, ask for a to-go box when you receive your plate. By putting half the meal in the to-go box before you even start eating, you’ll avoid eating too much and have leftovers for tomorrow! These simple swaps ensure you don’t overeat while still enjoying the foods you love.

Effortless modifications to your usual meals will significantly improve your health. Diets cause you to hate what you’re eating, which leads to you quitting the diet in a matter of days. Easy adjustments are the best way to live healthier and happier.
