Nutrition is important. Food is fuel for the body. However, making healthy choices regarding what food we choose to put in our body is not always easy. What is tasty isn’t always healthy and what is healthy isn’t always tasty. The most important thing to remember is not to expect perfection. Making lifestyle changes that are sustainable need to begin with goals that are obtainable and realistic. Restricting all sugar intake is not realistic, at least for the long term. I aim for the 80/20 ratio: eat healthy 80% of the time and allow yourself 20% to enjoy what you enjoy in life. Be aware of how much of the 20% you indulge in, as it can be easy to devour an entire bag of chips instead of snacking on a reasonable portion. Change begins with awareness. For me, keeping track daily of what I eat helps keep me in check and accountable. There are many apps available for download that make tracking easier and somewhat fun. Find the app that works for you. Below, I will post examples of a typical day of food intake that works for me as a reference to guide you. Feel free to comment with your own examples and ideas, this is how we learn and support each other! As always, have a FitNFabulous Day! -D
