In trying to make realistic changes to your diet, and not completely axing all the things you love, try this strategy. There are foods that we all know might not be the best for us, like chocolate cake for example. So, put chocolate cake in the “Eat Less” category. Eat it every once in a while, at a birthday party or a wedding, but don’t make it a nightly routine! Fill your other meals with some of those “Eat More” foods such as veggies and lean proteins like chicken.
It’s all about moderation and you DON’T have to be perfect to make progress! We are all human, remember that. It is more realistic to make subtle changes as you dial in your nutrition than to make sweeping cuts that can be hard to live up to.
