Healthy eating is not about strict dietary limitations, staying unrealistically thin or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and boosting your mood! (www.helpguide.org)
Healthy eating does not have to be overly complicated.
To help heal your body, gradually
incorporate the changes below:
1) Cut down on refined sugar (e.g., cakes, biscuits, chocolates).
2) Cut down on processed packaged food. Cook and eat as much natural fresh food as possible (depending upon your budget and schedule).
3) Cut down on refined carbohydrates (e.g., bread, pastries, white pasta).
4) Eat all meals by 6 PM if feasible (with only fruit or nuts for snacks if peckish afterwards). This can make a big difference.
5) Eat smaller portions.
6) Eat breakfast and then have smaller meals throughout the day.
7) Drink more water.
8) Reduce your consumption of alcohol.
