  • 5 years ago
It might seem remarkably difficult to alter our eating habits and start shopping for better quality foods. Controlling all factors and adhering to stricter regimes isn't to everyone's taste either. Yet taking note of these simple changes to quickly improve the quality of what you eat 1. Carefully choose your fruit and vegetables We're all told they're indispensable, but avoid certain variants such as fruit juices and flavoured yogurt that are heavily saturated with sugar 2. Find non-dairy milks, low fat cheeses and decrease quantities of butter and margarine Soy and almond milks are popular substitutes and the lather products can be swapped for a simple, light-calorie cooking spray 3. Don't immediately assume that fat or carbs are bad These are vital components for a healthy diet Furthermore, many fats found in seafoods, olive oils and eggs help us loose weight and reduce cardiovascular disease 4. Diversify protein choices Search for leaner meats as well as non-meat proteins such as dry beans and lentils 5. Make the simple change to whole grain and whole wheat products These are lower in fat, form a sizeable portion of our diet, and help you feel fuller for longer; reducing the urge to snack or eat large portions
