5 Diet Changes You Can Start Today That Will Help You Lose Weight Naturally
1. Load Up on Fruits & Veggies - every meal be sure to have some sort of fruit or veggie. Just think about how you can incorporate them into each meal. Yes....even breakfast.
2. Choose Healthier Fats - instead of whole milk drink fat-free milk, eat a turkey burger instead of beef. You need fat in your diet though. Plant-based foods like olive oil, nuts, seeds & avocados are great sources of healthy fats.
3. Drink Water, Not Lattes - If you're not drinking plain water, then you're probably overloading your diet with calories and sugar. Need flavor in your water, try fresh fruit or mint. Water can also help supress your appetite. Often when we think we're hungry, our body is actually looking to be hydrated.
4. Eat More Fiber - Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans will help lower your cholesterol, boost digestion, and fiber makes you feel fuller longer.
5. Reduce Your Portions - Using a smaller plate may be the easiest thing you can do for a healthier diet. Eat from a plate instead of a bag, avoid eating in front of the TV, reading, etc., eat slowly and savor every bite. Make eating an "experience".
