Healthy eating is not about strict dietary limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love.

Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your outlook, and stabilizing your mood.

Healthy eating is all about balance, eating more of the right types of food! And much, much less of the highly processed fast foods.

If you are about to make changes to your eating habits take baby steps, don’t attempt to change everything on day one.

To set yourself up for a long-term healthy eating plan, think about it as a number of small, manageable steps—like adding a salad to your diet once a day—rather than one big drastic change.

As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices.
