4 Tips For Creating Healthy Eating Habits

When we think about slimming down, we instantly think about going on a diet and starvation. The thought of eating a healthy diet to slim down invokes images of self-denial – we start to think about all the foods we can’t eat in order to slim down.

A more positive approach may help in this situation. Rather than having a panic attack about what foods you need to quit, try focusing on all the interesting meals you will get to incorporate in your diet. Have fun with it, diet does not have to mean boring. Here are some positive tips for creating a healthy eating habit.

1. Whole grain products

This doesn’t mean that you simply replace your white bread for whole grain bread. This strategy might be a start, but there are many foods that contain whole grains. Try integrating one of these new whole grain dishes into your diet each week. some grains you could try are:

* Millet

* Quinoa

* Brown rice

* Basmati brown rice (Tastes a bit like popcorn)

* Wheat berries

Adding these foods into your diet can be fun. You can try incorporating them into homemade muffins, breads, or casseroles. They can be included in soups or eaten with a small amount of seasoning. Wheat berries can be sprouted and used in your salads. The important thing here, is to have fun and get creative with your whole grains!

2. Meat and seafood

Consider lean poultry, chicken, seafood, and beef. While you incorporate them into your diet, you might well discover that there’s no more room for fatty meats, like hamburgers, sausages, or other less healthy cuts of meat. You can roast a turkey breast on Sunday, then make use of the leftovers throughout the week for snacks and lunches. Lean beef can be used in shish kabobs, fajitas, or included in other tasty dishes.

Seafood is remarkably versatile too; it can be baked, broiled, or grilled. Seafood could be a vehicle for a myriad of tasty sauce and spice combinations.
