How To Start Eating Healthy: 10 Changes You Can Make
These dietitian-approved changes are more practical to stick with for the long term.
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your optimal health is to eat a balanced and nutritious diet. Doing so can help adults stave off chronic conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, and allow those who are already chronically ill to manage their diseases.Visit https://www.timesunion.com/marketplace/article/best-nootropics-17854949.php.
“Healthy eating” can look different for everyone, but the ultimate goal is to establish a pattern of taking in foods and drinks that supply you with the necessary nutrients to keep up your overall health.
So how can you start eating healthily—and make it stick for the long term? Here are the best strategies for doing just that, according to experts.
Start Slow
Chances are you’re not going to know everything about healthy eating when you’re just starting out on your dietary journey: There’s a lot to learn, after all.
To that end, registered dietitian Trista Best, LD, advised that you start slow. A surefire way to start eating healthily in a manner that won’t overwhelm you can be making one to two small changes to your diet at a time.2
You can also do the same thing by trying new healthy foods. “One approach is to try a new vegetable each week,” Best told Health. “Pick a vegetable you’ve never tried before and research a new recipe to integrate it into a meal. If you do this each week, or even just once a month, you’ll end the year with several new healthy foods and recipes you didn’t know you liked before.” Learn more at https://www.timesofisrael.com/spotlight/metaboost-connection-reviews-the-shocking-truth-revealed-in-our-latest-report/.
Log Your Intake
You might find you’re eating less healthfully than you intend to.
One way to be more mindful about your food choices, according to registered dietitian Lisa DeFazio, RD, is to put your pen to paper. “Write down your reasons for wanting to eat healthily (lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve moods, etc.), and read your list every day,” said DeFazio. “Track your intake with an app like MyFitnessPal to make sure you are getting all the nutrition you need.”
Indeed, you might be surprised by what you learn when you take the time to record what you’re eating. As for figuring out what your ideal intake should be in the first place, talk to a healthcare provider or get a referral to a dietitian.
You can also get a primer from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s MyPlate Plan, a personalized food plan for your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity level that shows what and how much to eat.3
Eat Fewer Ultra-Processed Foods
Pre-made foods can be convenient, especially when juggling work, family, and other obligations. However, ultra-processed foods have been associated with decreased nutritional diet quality as well as obesity and other health issues.4
As per registered dietitian Summer Yule, RD, ultra-processed foods make it tough to control your food intake due to multiple portions in one package or excessive not-so-healthful ingredients.
“Ultra-processed foods are highly processed and designed in such a way that they’re very easy to overeat,” said Yule. “Some examples include store-bought cookies, sugary breakfast cereals, frozen corn dogs, and similar convenience foods. These foods are often high in added sugar, white flour, and/or added oils, providing relatively few vitamins and minerals but a lot of calories.”
Planning meals can help jumpstart your decisions to eat better.5 So instead, make your default whole foods and meals that you prepare yourself: That way, it might become easier over time to eat more healthful foods instead of reaching for ultra-processed foods.
And a note, this suggestion of eating fewer ultra-processed foods doesn’t include items like chopped and frozen veggies, canned beans, or shelled pistachios—while they have been processed, they’re still whole foods.
Eat More Plants
The benefits of adopting a plant-based diet—like vegetarianism or veganism—are well-documented. For example, research has shown that vegetarians have higher levels of healthy fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds in their bodies than non-vegetarians.6 This is “likely because [vegans] consume more produce and other whole, plant-based foods,” as Health’s nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, RD, previously reported.
Thus, eating a more plant-based diet may be one way to start eating healthier. Be gentle with yourself if you try this approach, as you don’t have to go vegan or vegetarian to reap health benefits. The flexitarian diet, which is primarily a vegetarian diet but includes the occasional animal protein, was named one of the best diets of 2022 by the U.S. News & World Report.
“Remember, it’s not all or nothing. This perspective can be daunting and lead to failure,” said Best. “Try making one of your favorite non-vegan meals vegan by changing some of the ingredients, like tofu tacos instead of beef.” You may find that not only are you eating healthier with this approach but also that you’re trying new foods.
Balance Your Plate
Another way to start eating healthier is to think in terms of what’s on your plate. It’s crucial that you eat a variety of foods.7 However, certain foods should play a significant role in your diet at every meal, according to DeFazio.
“Fruits and vegetables should be the foundation of your diet; half your plate should be vegetables,” said DeFazio. Along with one serving of fruit at each mealtime, DeFazio recommended having lean protein on your plate.
To get that protein at breakfast, aim for an ounce of nut butter, turkey bacon, cottage cheese, or an egg. Protein should be about a quarter of your plate during lunch and dinner; reach for three to four ounces of skinless chicken breast or fish. Of note, if you’re not sure what three ounces look like, it’s about the size of a deck of cards.8
