Balance, variety and moderation are the keys to healthful eating. A registered dietitian can help you find a total eating plan that works for you and your lifestyle.
Eating habits are hard to change. With all the focus on weight in society and all the information available, it’s easy to see how so many fall prey to fad diets and weight loss products. Food choices need to be based on education of what your body needs and when it needs it. The goal is to educate you so that you make the right choices that allow you to make the changes necessary to maintain a healthy overall lifestyle.
Balance of energy sources is important for our bodies. Diets that either allow unlimited quantities of any food or that eliminate or severely restrict entire food groups are not beneficial to the body. A diet should include a balance of macronutrients and be a way of eating that can be maintained for life. All foods have a place in a healthy, balanced diet. Finding a realistic approach and the right balance for you is important for making lifestyle changes.
Develop eating skills for life. Do you eat only when hungry? Stop eating when you’re full? Eat what your body needs? An important part of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is self-awareness of not only what you’re eating, but when you’re eating and how much you’re eating. Responding to your body and it’s basic cues will become part of daily living if you pay attention to feelings of hunger and fullness. Make mindful eating a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle.
