As adults, we are often faced with a busy schedule and daily stress that causes us to reach for the most convenient food in sight.
This leads to unhealthy eating habits that can cause decreased energy, a weakened immune system, and more serious health complications in the long run.
However, the healthier we eat, the more energy we get to undertake all the responsibilities that we have in our daily lives. The sooner that we all understand that our health is a responsibility that should be a priority, the sooner we can make the changes that will make healthy eating less of a burden.
Let’s explore some ways to eat healthy every day. Especially on the days when when we don’t want to.
3 Tips For Eating Healthy Without a Fad Diet
1- Start With Your Favorites
Using your favorite healthy foods as the basis of a diet is definitely an overlooked weight loss strategy.
Instead of going into the supermarket to find all the new and exotic healthy ingredients, wouldn’t it be better to reunite with some of your old favorites?
Choose these food items from the various food groups like fruits, vegetables, protein, grains, and nuts. For protein, you can choose from seafood, meat, and vegetarian options.
After you have a list of foods that you would happily eat every week, try to ensure that your pantry is stocked with these items.
Some additional healthy basics for your pantry include:
- whole wheat pasta
- brown rice
- whole wheat flour
- almond flour
- olive oil
- protein powder
A solid blend of favorites and pantry essentials will make it much easier to prepare a healthy meal that you’ll love. You can also have fun by experimenting with recipes or having meal replacement options for when you’re in a rush.
We love using Herbalife products for this reason as well.
2- Get Healthy Snacks
This is arguably one of the easiest ways that some of us put on unwanted weight- unhealthy snacking. Snacking can include eating too much of a healthy snack or choosing to snack on something that shouldn’t be a part of your diet.
As we all have heard in our adult lives, moderation is key. The best way to ensure that snacking won’t bring regret and guilt, later on, is to get the right snacks in the first place.
Here are 2 types of healthy snacks to choose from, depending on your preferences.
A) Natural Snacks
These include fruits, vegetables, and nuts that you already have on hand. Some examples of these are:
- Bananas
- Apples
- Almonds and other nuts
- Hummus and healthy crackers/veggies
- Nut butter and healthy crackers/veggies
B) Prepared Snacks and Supplements
These take less planning, but they are sometimes more fulfilling than the other healthy snack options. From protein shakes to protein waffles, Herbalife protein powders can make meal replacement a breeze. These make snacking easier and help to curb cravings. Some examples of snacks to make with Herbalife are:
- Protein shakes
- Energy bars
- Muffins
- Protein Waffles
3- Shop For Groceries
Now, some may argue that this is a no-brainer. But many persons do not shop for groceries and this leads to high fast food consumption.
Making a grocery list that includes your favorite healthy foods, snacks, and pantry staples that will help you to cook full meals is one of the best ways to start to eating healthy.
If you want to be more organized with your dietary goals, then you can use meal planning services or find a Nutrition Club near you to help you eat healthier and on time so that you can achieve your weight loss goals.
