Remember the health plans you made this year?
Yes, your 2024 healthy eating resolutions.
Remember now? … It’s about time we start working on it.
Here are a few simple but important things you need to get fit and healthy before the year ends.
1. Get the right Motivation
We all need that one reason to rise up and fight harder when healthy eating gets tough. Cravings will set in, laziness will hold you back and friends will make fun of you.
Despite all these pitfalls, you need to hold on to that one strong reason/desire which led you to start in the first place.
So find your reason now! Don’t do it because of the new trend or for likes on social media.
Do it because you care about yourself !
2. Meal Plan
Every successful project needs a good plan.
A healthy lifestyle requires 70% good nutrition and 30% fitness.
So why then do you jump into a healthy lifestyle journey with a blindfold on.
No, it’s not enough to follow what others are posting on social media simply because we are different humans, with different body requirements.
So if you are serious about this and ready to get your health/nutrition game on, then speak to a dietitian, get your body composition measured and get a diet plan (with types of food to eat, meal times, meal quantity) designed to suit your body needs.
3. Partitioned plates/bowls
Portion control is the basis for all successful diet plans.
Ever heard of the healthy plate? It is as a visual guide to controlling your portion sizes.
So let’s use that trick … your partitioned plate…a plate with divided sections for various parts of the food.
If you are unable to get such a plate, just do your best to serve your meals as shown below.
4. Shopping list
Whether planned or unplanned, we all shop for food.
Shopping for the right healthy food ingredients is the first step to actually eating healthy.
You should know what you intend buying before you get to the market else you will be swayed into buying all the attractive yet unhealthy foods and snacks.
