A New Year – A New Healthier Way of Eating

Happy New Year to all! We have all made our resolutions -now the important part is keeping them!

Personally whenever the new year begins I promise myself I will eat better and stop all bad food habits I might have! I think it is important to remember to make small adjustments. Maybe it is to stop sweets, or not eat cheese, or not eat past 7 pm.

Whatever your resolution might be pick one certain aspect from your style of eating and start with a small change

I think it is important to be prepared and organized with your daily meals. Plan your day out -envision what it is you are going to eat for that day. Plan your meals for the day! Remember it is best to eat every 3 hours. This means you need to organize 5 or 6 meals for each day.

It’s helpful to do your grocery shopping over the weekend so you have your week planned. If you don’t cook, make sure you’ve planned where you will be ordering your food from for the day. When I have to order, when ordering lunch I make sure to order dinner as well so I don’t find myself making a poor dinner choice because it got late and I didn’t want to wait for food or the healthy place I wanted to order from was closed or most importantly (which became I bad habit of mine) I skip dinner.

Again and again I am told snacks are hard to make time for and hard to come across. Better Body Blog gives you a list of healthy snacks to prepare you for the new year. It is best to buy your snacks and carry them with you to work or if you are able to store them at work. Good luck to you in the new year and I hope this list comes in handy!
