1. Ditch The Fad Diets
Throw away the diet books and calorie counters. If you've signed on to a diet program based on a weight loss myth, it's time to sign off. Commit to a new way of eating by focusing on whole foods, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats.
2. Learn To Satisfy Your Resting Metabolic Rate
That's the number of calories you need per day. Here's how: Take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 10. (If you weigh 150 lbs., your resting metabolic rate is 1500 calories.) Don't fall victim to the starvation myth. Make sure you eat at least your metabolic rate in calories each day.
3. Learn To Love Labels
Learn what a serving really is. Search for fake fats and processed sugars. A Nutrition Facts Panel is located on nearly every packaged food you buy.
4. Shop To Balance Your Meals
Plan a week's worth of meals to include the right combination of protein, fiber, good carbohydrates and good fat in each meal. Think color!
5. Eat Breakfast
You can mix plain, nonfat yogurt with fresh berries or chopped seasonal fruit and a handful of raw nuts or whole grain cereal for a filling and delicious meal on the go. And consider adding eggs, which fortified with Omega-3 fats, to your morning routine.
6. Research Restaurants.
Find places in your area that specialize in local, seasonal ingredients as well as produce, fish, lean poultry and other healthy options not dripping with butter or processed oils.
7. Practice Moderation
Learn to decline respectfully foods you know aren't good for you. When eating out, be prepared to ask for substitutions: steamed vegetables or mixed greens instead of fries; olive oil instead of butter; water instead of soft drinks; fresh lemon instead of a creamy sauce on your chicken or fish; vegetable crudités instead of dinner rolls.
8. Research New Recipes
Explore ways to incorporate different fresh ingredients into your cooking.
