Start New on Your Diet With These 5 Tips on Eating Clean

Nowadays, there are more people who start to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. It is hard to keep on following the lifestyle if you’re not used to it. It’ll be especially hard if you are not supported by your friends and families. It is really hard to start something on your own.

It needs courage for you to start as you’ll easily get demotivated. You have to push away all the favorite food that is not “clean” for your diet. Eating clean means you are opting for the best and healthier options. Don’t be too restrictive to your options because we don’t want to follow the diet for just a short time. Try these tips one by one and you can see how they impact your health.

1. Load up on fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are not in everyone’s favor. This should be our main food to consume every day as they contain less sugar, salt, and fat. Eating enough quantity of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce the risk of a number of diseases including heart disease, obesity, and cancer.

 

2. Go whole grain

Don’t be fooled by the “whole-grain” labels on your food. Look at the ingredients and whole grains should be the first in the list. When you decided to switch carbs for whole grains, you’ll get more fiber and antioxidants. People who eat more whole grains will lose weight easier.

3. Watch out for processed food

Processed foods usually contain unhealthy levels of sugar, sodium, and fat. High consumption of these ingredients can lead to various health issues. Be careful with foods that have a super-long ingredient list and contain lots of sugar and refined grains.

4. Limit added sugar

Cut down on added sugar such as candies, soda, and baked goods. Look foods with no sugar in the ingredients. If you’re someone who can’t get your eyes off desserts, make sure sugar is listed towards the bottom and decrease the consumption as much as you can.

5. Keep an eye on sodium

People are less conscious of sodium consumption. Most packaged food contains more sodium. Use salt in your cooking sparingly and smartly to help minimize salt. You might want to change to coarse sea salt or kosher salt as they contain less sodium than table salt.
