Eat the Right Foods Most of the Time

[Her Mind & Body]

Choose nutrient dense foods such as fruits vegetables, whole grains, legumes,
nuts, seeds, and lean meats such as fish, chicken, and turkey. 8Some may find it
hard to choose healthy foods 100% of the time, and so you may allot 10% of
your daily calories towards eating any type of food you like. For example, if
you figure your daily calorie limit to be 1,500 calories, 10% of 1,500 (.10 x
1,500) is 150 calories, which means you can go off your “diet” by 150 calories.
This does not mean you can eat an extra 150 calories. The goal is to stay within
your daily calorie limit for weight loss.

I honestly do not think that it is too hard to give up unhealthy foods as long as you have a list such as this one to keep you company. It gives you a decent understanding of what you should and should not be putting in your body. It is especially useful because it allows me to have a quick look and pick something that looks good for that day.

Those are some really suggestions. I have found that eating right does not have to be hard – as long as you allow yourself some time to get the foods you want as well. It is no lie that your palette will start to change after a while, it really does.
