Easy Ways to Improve Your Eating Habits
« on: August 04, 2013, 03:07:53 PM »
By The Daily Meal | Shine Food – 16 hours ago


With the rise of eating-related issues like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, the need to improve the overall health of our country is becoming more urgent - it's time to make some changes in our daily habits and eating patterns.

Of course, no one wants to be thought of as the picky eater (the one who brings their own dressing to restaurants or refuses to order anything as is on the menu), but sometimes embracing a healthier way of life means doing new things that probably won't feel natural at first. We're not talking about extreme measures here, but little habits like starting the morning with a big glass of water and eating more vegetables and less processed foods.

For expert opinions and advice, we turned to two well-respected nutritionists, Marion Nestle, a professor at NYU and author of Food Politics as well as numerous other books, and Keri Glassman, author and founder of Nutritious Life in New York City. As Glassman says, "Taking small steps can make a big difference toward a healthier lifestyle. Examine what your personal diet pitfalls are and start to change them one habit at a time." As a jumping-off point, Glassman suggests starting small and trying to get in the habit of ordering dishes that are grilled and baked instead of fried when dining out, and asking for a side of vegetables instead of fries.

Of course, this advice might not be new to some people and, with the excess of health information on the web, it's easy to forget the basics and caught up in the hot trend of the moment or the new go-to diet that claims to melt away the pounds. But this is news worth repeating: losing weight and becoming healthier is not accomplished by quick-fix changes that can be done and then forgotten about. It requires lifestyle changes that need to be sustained.

Do It: Eat More Whole Foods

Glassman explains that the idea behind whole foods is to ideally eliminate as many packaged foods as possible from your diet and choose ones with as few ingredients listed as possible. For example, "it's not just the vitamin C in an orange that contributes to our health, so you can't eat a pack of fruit snacks fortified with vitamin C and think you're getting the same benefits. There is a whole group of phytochemicals, fiber, and substances that scientist haven't even discovered yet that all work together in a whole orange to improve our health."

Do It: Eat a Variety of Nutrient-Rich Foods and a Balanced Diet

"This is standard boring nutritionists' advice from me, too," says Nestle. "I have an easier translation: eat plenty of vegetables and don't eat too much junk food." Glassman stresses that variety and balance are very important in a diet because of all the different nutrients the body needs, and it's impossible to get all of them from the same foods, even if they are healthy ones.

Do It: Cook More at Home and Ahead of Time

Nestle recommends learning how to cook and prepare meals quickly. As she says, "It's not hard to cook something from scratch in the time it takes to heat up frozen meals or those stored in the refrigerator." Glassman suggests spending a few hours on the weekend to make meals and snacks for the week to make up for the work days when schedules are more hectic. These healthy meals can be brought to work for lunch or quickly heated up after work for dinner.

Lose It: Skipping Meals

As Nestle says, "Starvation is not good for health." Glassman expands to add that when you skip meals, your body is denied needed calories, which provide the energy our cells need to operate at optimal level.

Lose It: Eating on the Go and Convenience Foods

When on the road or in a pinch, buying packaged and processed foods is an easy choice. But what comes with that? Empty nutrients, unpronounceable ingredients, and tons of preservatives, says Glassman. Instead, plan ahead of the week on the weekend or keep healthy snacks on hand. She suggests nuts, fiber crackers, natural peanut butter to spread on apples or bananas, trail mix (better homemade and without candy), or healthy nutrition bars like Kind.

Lose It: Going Food Shopping Without a List

If this happens, it often results in a grocery cart full of unneeded foods and unhealthy snacks, plus a large bill. As Glassman says, when you don't have a plan of attack, it's easy to get lost in the grocery store and wind up spending more money than planned on. With that said, go in with a plan and buy what you came for. Avoid the center aisles of the market, which usually contain processed foods, unless you're looking for something on your list like brown rice or whole-grain pasta or canned tomatoes.
