.: 10 Easy Nutrition Tips

 

In today's complex world, us humans love to overcomplicate things. Nutrition is certainly no exception to this rule. Most mainstream nutrition "experts" would have you believe that there is a complex formula of macro and micronutrients for eating right. But, when it comes down to it, it really couldn't be simpler. In fact, eating healthy shouldn't be hard, it shouldn't be expensive, and it sure as hell shouldn't be so complicated that you need a calculator to do it!

I have put together what I consider to be the 10 most important things for eating healthy. If you just follow these 10 guidelines on a consistent basis then I guarantee that you will be on the right path to achieving your fitness goals.

1. Don't Drink Your Calories.

Ever heard of a beer belly? It's called that for a reason.

2. Eat Real Food.

If you can't pronounce the ingredientts, you don't need to eat it.

3. Cut Back the Carbs.

Mainly grains. Don't go all Atkins on me though...please!

4. Eat Breakfast.

Just avoid the cereals and flavored oatmeals.

5. Cook Your Own Dinner.

Learn to cook! Save money and calories! Be in control of what you put in your stomach.

6. Pack Your Lunch.

Avoid the tempation of Fast Food Lane by brown bagging it. Also saves a ton of money!

7. Drink More Water.

I never feel as hungry when I'm well hydrated. Don't worry about water overkill though, it's not necessary.

8. Eat Plenty of Good Fats.

Avacados, Almonds, Walnuts, Olive Oil. Not potato chips, sorry.

9. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables.

Just take it easy on the starchy vegetables like potatoes.

10. Relax, Stick With It!

Eating healthier should be an enjoyable experience, not something you suffer through. Don't sweat it if you slip up every now and then. Think about eating healthier as a lifestyle change, not a diet.
