How to Use Basic Principles to Achieve Better Lifelong Healthy Eating Habits
Want a healthier lifestyle? Unfortunately, this is a hard goal for many people to achieve. Diets not only bring up dread and visions of starving and suffering but they also just plain don’t work. They not only set you up for failure but create a recurring pattern of hope-try-and-fail patterns that can debilitate any future efforts to eat better and be healthy.
In the Beginner’s Guide to Healthy Eating, we go back to basics and follow 9 Simple Rules and the Habits you need to practice to help enforce them.
Why Habit Development is Better than Forced Willpower
If you're like most people, you start each year with a laundry-list of ways to improve yourself. So what usually happens? By February, you've given up on these goals and you're left with that same desire to live a healthier lifestyle.
Really, the only way to make a PERMANENT change is to slowly introduce certain habits into your life. Instead of following the "all-or-nothing, cold-turkey" mindset, you'll slowly change your life for the better. When you do this for a few months, you'll eat better, feel great and get more energy.
And it's not what you think. There are no diet plans, no meal restrictions or calorie reductions and definitely no gimmicks. This is simply a set of principles to live by that will empower you to make better choices for yourself no matter what your eating style: paleo, vegan, omnivore, etc.
There are 9 Sections and each section is broken down into 4 parts:
1) The Rule - which describes what principles to live by
2) The Habit - suggestions on behavior modification or mindset shifts to help you adopt the new Rule
3) The Why - this is the explanation behind "because I told you so"
4) The Hard Facts - the actual studies and research that support this being beneficial to you and your health!
You can eat better and feel great. All you have to do is slowly introduce a few healthy habits into your life.
