7 Practical and Easy Ways To Clean Up Your Diet

Most of the people I see and deal with on a daily basis are not top athletes. Their struggles with food are much different than a top athlete, mainly because they don’t have to micro manage their daily eating habit “Diet”. I don’t like using the term “diet” because we start to think of all the crazy weight loss infomercials we see on TV all the time. This post is mostly for the every day person looking for ways to make some positive changes to their daily eating habits that will result in a healthier YOU!

You can’t open a magazine or watch TV now without being sucked in by all the hubbub of Paleo, Vegan and gluten free. We will not talk about those topics today. Rather, I am just going to give you seven practical points to help you better manage your daily eating habits that will guarantee you success as you restart or start your “healthier YOU” journey.

 

1. Add more fresh vegetables to your plate. Variety is the key – try something new.

 

1. Add in more raw fruit, eat an apple instead of a candy bar.

 

1. Cut out all white flour. It has no nutritional value other than the junk they put back in once they strip it down.

 

1. Do everything you can to remove boxed foods from your house. They are loaded with sugar, unhealthy chemicals and salt. The only exception is frozen raw veggies and fruit.

 

1. Stop using the microwave as much as possible. This reduces radiation in your food and helps maintain good bacteria in your food, which is needed for adequate digestion.

 

1. Add in some Yogurt and/or Kefir. Buy no sugar added and add frozen fresh fruit for sweetness.

 

1. Sleep, you need more…this will help reduce the cortisol levels in your body, which will help you manage your weight much easier.
