7 Healthy Eating Rules - Slim n Skin, Plano

Don't be surprised, it's true - like all other rules, there are healthy eating rules also. Want to know what these scrumptious looking rules are all about. Continue to find out how to plan your diet to improve your eating habits and health.

Load your plate with vegetables & legumes:

How to build a healthy plate? well, fill half your plate with vegetables — and, no, French fries don’t count! Choose “crunchy” vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, and leafy greens like kale and Swiss chard. On the other side of the plate, put whole grains or legumes in one quarter and a serving of healthy, lean protein in the other.

Balanced breakfast is very Important:

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and so don't ever try to skip it. It's important to have a balanced breakfast as it helps you to kickstart metabolism, improve cognitive function, and help you make better food choices throughout the day. The ideal meal includes protein, healthy fat, and some complex carbohydrates. You can have egg, fresh fruit juice, fruits, coconut water, oats, avocado toast, nuts, etc in your breakfast.

Plan before you hit grocery shop:

The biggest mistake people make is not knowing what they need and, instead, they end up buying what all they don't want at all. That leads to buying more packaged foods and less fresh, whole foods. Smart people are those who make a list of an item based on their recipe need. And focus your shopping based on prepared list perimeter, which is home to the fresh produce, dairy, meat, and fish.

Cut down Processed food:

Not all packaged or pre-made food is bad for you, but you’ll need to choose carefully. Ideally, you should gravitate toward healthy options that make nutritious cooking easier, like frozen vegetables and canned beans, and skip the meals in a box that are loaded with preservatives, hidden sources of fat, and too much sugar and sodium. Also, avoid cooking shortcuts with junk diet.

Switch to whole grains:

Brown is better than white. When it comes to carbohydrates, brown is better. Whole-grain foods like whole wheat, brown rice, and oatmeal contain more nutrients and fiber than their processed white cousins. So instead of shunning cards to lose weight, start by swapping out the white ones for whole grains.

Limit your Sugar & Sodium:

When I say limit that doesn't mean putting down the salt shaker and skipping sugar in coffee. Yes, because these two-component are not that rare to find in food.  Sodium and sugar are rampant in most packaged foods from pasta sauce and mac and cheese to rice mixes and soups. Start by checking the nutrition label on your food packets.

Last but not least, enjoy your food:

Many people think that healthy eating is a punishment, but it's not like that. A healthy diet is as tastier as junk and processed food. All you need to do is just pretend you never heard the word diet or healthy food habits, to achieve your weight loss goal.  Food should be something you relish and that nourishes you. It’s not just fuel.
