Big changes all at once?? Small changes over time?? For more lasting and achievable goals I suggest starting small. Why? It takes about 3 weeks for one change to actually become a habit, so start slow and build. If you are making changes to your diet, choose what is most important to you: better quality food, more balance, more consistent intake, less fat, less salt, more fiber? You choose and then design your environment to make it work: stock your fridge with more fruits and veggies, portion out healthy snacks like whole wheat pretzels, hummus, baby carrots, string cheese, yogurt, dried fruit and nuts, have basic proteins readily available: eggs, chicken, tuna, low fat cottage cheese. You get the idea. Make it easy to succeed. Track progress, not perfection and watch your world change!
