I wrote out a 15- minute meditation about who I am becoming, why, and how: by choosing better foods and being mindful of my consumption. I wrote it every day for 30 days before even trying to change, then the changes came easily. I also joined Meetups of mindful health- conscious individuals

I try to avoid buying junk food and replace sweets with fruit nd nuts and soda with water. I try to cook at he at night and pack the leftovers for lunch of the next at work to avoid buying fast food and to make the cooking process exciting i try to use different recipes to look at it as something fun!

Reflect and understand the reasonings behind why you want to eat better. Who/what does your diet affect? What was the defining moment that made you realize that you needed to change your eating habits?

When I do my best at eating healthy it usually means I’m doing two things 1. Tracking my food intake on an app like MyFitnessPal or the like. (Put in everything... even it it isn’t healthy and you don’t want to record it) This drives awareness of the healthy things that I like, and the pitfalls. It also helps me make smarter choices when I do splurge. 2. I have a partner who is trying to eat healthy too. We tend to encourage each other and that sense of accountability keeps me more focused. Bonus: don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall off track. Just note it in the tracker and move on keeping focused on the end goal.

I eat steel cut oatmeal in the morning. It’s easy to make. You can eat with anything you want. I think the key to keep eating healthy food is easy to make, easy to add on other items

It’s difficult but most important: eat at regular intervals never get too hungry, always have a healthy but sweet snack (fruit and nut butter, almond milk pudding with cacao nibs, etc) to look forward to every evening so don’t feel deprived of sugar, prep meals and snacks on weekend, go by quality of food not calories
