It
seems as if there is a new diet released every day, and sometimes even more
often than that. With all of the competing plans out there, it can be difficult
to figure out what the best healthy eating diet is for you. However, it is
important to find not only a plan that works, but one that you can stick to.
You can start by writing down everything you eat and how you feel. You should
do this as you are eating your regular diet, with no changes. Don't worry about
how healthy it is at this point. If you gulp down a double cheeseburger,
doughnuts and soda, then write it down. This is so you can get a baseline to
compare other diets to.
Keep
doing this for a week or so and you will have a clear picture of the current
state of your diet, and the effects your diet has on you. Once you know what
your current eating habits are doing to you, you can start looking for other
diets that will improve your health.
The
next thing you need to do is consider what your dietary goals are. For example,
if you are overweight, or have diabetes, then you should look for a healthy
eating diet that fits those goals. However, if you are just looking to improve
your general state of health, then any eating plan that appears to be
nutritionally sound should be fine.
Now
it's simply a matter of repeating the process of tracking what you eat and how
it makes you feel. Feel free to add any other notes, such as times you
"cheat" on your new diet, your weight (if that's a concern),
thoughts, or anything else that you think is worthy of making a note of. As a
word of caution: if you have been used to an unhealthy diet, and then you
suddenly switch to eating food that is better for you, you're going to feel
kind of funny for the first few days. This is because your body is, in effect,
relearning how to deal with real food. Keep tracking what you eat, and you
should notice that you're feeling better than ever after a few days of your new
healthy eating diet.
Different
diets have a different effect on people, so it's important to know how the food
you eat has an impact on you. For example, a lot of people that try
high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets often find that they can get irritable and
drowsy. If this happens to you, and you still feel that way after a few weeks,
then it may be time to consider another healthy eating diet.
However,
before you switch to another plan of any kind, review your food log to see if
there may be specific foods that are causing the problem. You should be able to
find a replacement for a particular food, as opposed to switching over to an
entirely new healthy eating diet, Either way, stick with it, and you will
eventually find the right plan for you.
