To set yourself up for success, think about planning a
healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic
change.
If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will
have a healthy diet sooner than you think.
SIMPLIFY
Instead of being overly concerned with
counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of
colour, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to make healthy
choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a
few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more
delicious.
START SLOW
Make changes to your eating habits over
time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn't realistic or smart.
Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new
eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different colour
vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when
cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more
healthy choices to your diet.
Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You
don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you
enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term goal is to feel good, have more
energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let your missteps
derail you, every healthy food choice you make counts.
