5 Simple Healthy Menu Tips
September 17th, 2009 | 
Author: Regardless of your age, gender or level of fitness, a healthy balanced diet should be something you try and do on a daily basis. With so many so called experts telling us what we should eat, it’s often hard putting it all together and even harder actually sticking to it on a constistent basis.
Here are 5 simple to follow tips to help you not only develop a healthy menu plan, but hopefully one that will allow you to stay healthy well into the future.
- Take that food pyramid, and look at it. You know the one! Veges at the bottom, sweets at the top? Yeah that’s the one. This may be shocking to believe, but that pyramid is actually spot-on accurate.
- Try new things. Never had a particular fruit or vegetable before, now is a great time to try it. Tired of boring old meals? Find new ways to prepare them to make it fun.
- PLAN you week. If you are at work during meal times, be sure to take this into account when planning. If you plan in advance, you’ll know what to cook, and when to cook it. Believe me when I say this is a HUGE factor in keeping on track. Prepared menu planners can help with this if you prefer others do the hard work.
- Find a friend who is willing to “buddy up” with you and get on track also! A friend will not only help ou keep on track, but is a great way to get new menu ideas.
- Water water everywhere… so drink it! Your body needs water for virtually everything it does, but most importantly, a well watered body is a body with a good metabolism (which means more fat burning). It is said 8 glasses of water a day should be the target.. go for MORE than that… you can’t over-drink, so let your body have a swim!
As with any lifestyle change, the purpose of a healthy menu plan is not to “diet”, but to simply create a daily way of life that is both easy to manage, fun to do and good for the body.
Busy lifestyle? Not a fan of cooking? Don’t panic, eDiets can actually prepare balanced healthy meals designed FOR YOUR BODY and deliver them to your door.
