Creating sustainable eating habits is about making small, consistent changes that become part of your lifestyle.

Start with Small Changes

The key to lasting change is starting small. Don't overhaul your entire diet overnight.

Focus on Addition, Not Restriction

Instead of focusing on what you can't eat, focus on adding more nutritious foods:

  • Add a serving of vegetables to each meal
  • Include protein with every snack
  • Drink an extra glass of water before meals

Build Consistency

Consistency beats perfection every time. Aim for progress, not perfection.

Make It Convenient

The easier healthy eating is, the more likely you'll stick with it:

  • Keep healthy snacks visible and accessible
  • Prep vegetables when you get home from shopping
  • Have backup meals ready for busy days

Listen to Your Body

Learn to recognize hunger and fullness cues. Eat when hungry, stop when satisfied.

Be Flexible

Life happens. Allow for treats and special occasions without guilt. It's what you do most of the time that matters.
