Most of us make New Year’s Resolutions that don’t even last the first week. There is so much pressure to start but there are so many distractions at this time of year.  It is a good idea to put off the start of your new regime until the end of the first week.

Have you considered changing your eating forever? Is this too scary for you?

It is not as hard as you might think. You have to change your mindset from one of deprivation to one of looking forward to feeling great, while enjoying the best Mother Nature has to offer.

Any eating plan that includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, with some meat and fish, is a good plan. You want to have your food as natural as possible. Meat should be cooked with a minimum of fat, grilled is best. Fish should be lightly steamed. Try to eat fuit and vegetables raw or lightly steamed. The less cooking, the healthier the food.

Don’t be fanatical about your new eating plan but if you can stick to it for a couple of weeks it will clear out your body and you will begin to crave healthy foods over junk. When you feel you must break out and eat something full of fat, salt or sugar, just have a small portion. It is alright to ‘cheat’ sometimes.

Once you stick to the plan for a month or so, you will begin to think of greasy, fast food as quite disgusting. You will find you prefer the taste of healthy food. In six months you will not be abe to imagine any other type of eating. You will have the healthy eating habit and all the health benefits that go hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle.

The best thing is that you will not have to diet ever again because one of the benefits of healthy eating is natural weight loss.
