A fresh approach to your diet

Eating Better – Make it Personal 

When you break it down, the basic components of a healthy diet are really pretty simple – lean protein, plenty of vegetables and fruits, some starches in the form of whole grains or beans, a bit of “good” fats for flavour, and fluids to keep you hydrated.  Then, you put all of that into a meal pattern you can live with, and you’re good to go.

The key in all of this is to find foods that you truly enjoy eating that are also good for you. They’re out there – trust me.  With literally thousands of foods to choose from, you should be able to find – with a little experimentation – plenty of things to eat that fit the bill.

Just because everyone is eating kale (and you simply can’t get it past your lips) doesn’t mean you need to eat it.  There are plenty of other leafy greens you can try that offer up a similar nutrition profile.  Choking down something that you hate – just because it’s good for you – is hardly a habit in the making.
