How do you translate the 8 common principles into simple, yet delicious choices for each meal? Here are some easy-to-implement suggestions!
No matter which dietary approach you decide to follow, eating healthy meals can be as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Get adequate protein.
Aim for about 25 to 40 grams of protein at every meal or about 75 to 160 grams of protein a day.
Include high-fiber plant foods, such as vegetables and leafy greens that grow above the ground. For fruit, choose high-fiber, low-sugar options like berries.
Add healthy fat, such as olive oil, avocado oil, nut oils. Use just enough to enhance flavor and help you feel satisfied.
To set yourself up for success, be sure to clean out your fridge and pantry of all the processed foods that contain sugar, flour, and other refined carbs – especially the ones you find tempting such as crackers, cookies, biscuits, chips, pretzels, breakfast cereals, etc.
Some people can leave the dried pasta, rice, or baking supplies in the cupboard for others to use. But if you suspect you might want to whip up a batch or cookies or plate of pasta, either get rid of those items or make sure they’re kept out of your view.
