Unless you have been living under the rock, there is little chance that you could have missed out on the gargantuan hype on fitness and health food that seems to have taken over in a big way. The craze on Atkins or the South Beach Diet, Fresh Diet, DASH Diet etc. seems to answer this fast-growing dietary evolution. While diet and minimal eating seems to be the call of the day, understand that healthy eating is not always so much about austere dieting, nutrition philosophies and depriving yourself of your favorite foods as much as it is about eating the right food in the right way. In short, it’s all about eating smart! Eating healthy everyday won’t just keep off those extra kilos of you; it will also keep you alive and kicking for long. If you don’t wish to dig your grave with your own knife and fork, then possibly reading these following tips on healthy eating should put your dietary habits back on track.

Healthy Eating Tips

  • If you are someone who lives to eat rather than eats to live and don’t mind bingeing out on over-size helpings, then it’s time you gave your food habits some serious thought! Understand that piling your plate with openhanded servings and pigging out on it won’t do your body any good. The cue is to eat healthy and use just enough calories to nutrify your body. Keeping a tab on the calorie count of everything you eat is possibly the easiest way to fight the flab. Just stick to the average calorie intake, which is 2000 calories for men and 1500 calories for women, and bid adieu to your extra pounds for good.

  • If you thought that shunning fat from your diet was the healthiest way to peel of those extra layers from your body, then these fat facts are sure to be a bolt from the blue for you. Like all other essential nutrients, fats are an indispensable part of any healthy diet and the primary source of body strength and nutrition. Fats are good or bad, depending on their type and the amount you eat. Chucking out fat from your diet is a big folly that can put you at the risk of several chronic diseases. The idea is to get wise with your fat intake. Dodging away oil, butter and fat from your diet and incorporating olive oil, nuts, fish oil, and various seed oils can leave you with happy results. In short, say yes to monounsaturated fats and kick out trans fats from your diet to stay healthy.

  • If you wish to stay high up on the health ladder always, its best advised to breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper. Nevertheless, most people happily skip their breakfast and settle for a quick grub for lunch and then rush home and pig out on dinner fit for three people. Understand that your metabolism is the slowest during the evenings. So if you don’t wish to pile on extra fat in your body, try going for a mid-sized meal for breakfast, a heavy meal for lunch, and a small-scale meal for dinner.

  • Do your early morning rush hours often ram with your breakfast time and you barely ever get to sit down and enjoy a decent bowl of cereals? While it might seem as a simple bet to skip the breakfast or settle for a quick shot of caffeine, understand that your body need glycosides and carbohydrate early in the morning to get started. So you better fuel it up with fruits, vegetables, grains and low-fat dairy and protein before you step out of the house every day.
