Here are 5 key factors of a nutritious diet that many people know but often fail to implement, along with simple ways to incorporate them into daily life:
1. Balanced Macronutrients:
1️⃣ What you know: You need a balance of carbs, proteins, and fats.
2️⃣ What you miss: Most diets overemphasise one macronutrient, leading to imbalance.
3️⃣Simple Solution:
👉Aim for each meal to have a balance of whole grains, lean protein (like legumes, fish, or poultry), and healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, or avocado).
👉Visualise your plate: ½ vegetables, ¼ protein, ¼ whole grains.
2. Portion Control:
1️⃣What you know: Portion sizes matter.
2️⃣What you miss: Overeating healthy food can still lead to weight gain.
3️⃣Simple Solution:
👉Use smaller plates and bowls to naturally limit portions.
👉Eat mindfully—slow down and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues.
3. Hydration:
1️⃣ What you know: Water is essential for overall health.
2️⃣ What you miss: Many confuse thirst with hunger, leading to overeating.
3️⃣ Simple Solution:
👉Carry a water bottle throughout the day and aim for at least 8 glasses of water.
👉Drink a glass of water before meals to help manage portion sizes and stay hydrated.
4. Fibre Intake:
1️⃣ What you know: Fibre aids digestion and supports gut health.
2️⃣ What you miss: They aren’t getting enough from whole food sources.
3️⃣ Simple Solution:
👉Add fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to your daily meals.
👉Snack on high-fibre options like nuts, seeds, or an apple.
5. Consistency:
1️⃣ What you know: Healthy eating should be a lifestyle, not a temporary diet.
2️⃣ What you miss: Falling into the trap of "all or nothing" thinking.
3️⃣ Simple Solution:
👉Focus on progress, not perfection. Make small, sustainable changes.
👉If you slip up, get back on track with your next meal. Every small choice counts.
