1. Bet on whole, nutritious foods

Processed foods are not inherently ‘bad’ or ‘fattening,’ but they are also not great for us either. They don’t provide our bodies with much-needed nutrients like slow-digesting carbs, healthy fats, high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and fibre.

Because of that, it’s important to base the majority of your food choices on whole and minimally-processed foods:

  • Unprocessed meats and grains
  • Eggs and dairy
  • Fresh potatoes
  • Fatty fish and seafood in general
  • Beans and other legumes
  • Healthy oils – most notably olive, macadamia, coconut, and avocado oils
  • Bread

2. Do treat yourself sometimes

We’ve all got our guilty pleasures. No matter what your current goals are, it’s important to allow yourself some treats here and there. Of course, moderation is key.  A cookie here and there won’t break your diet, and it will give you something much more important: overall satisfaction and the feeling of freedom that you can still enjoy your favourite foods in moderation and get your desired result.
