New Year, New Eating Habits: How to Eat Better in 2019

Resolving to eat better is perhaps one of the best promises you can make to yourself. While there’s really no timeline for starting a healthier lifestyle, the advent of the new year is just as good a time as any. In today’s article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington offers tips and tricks on keeping your resolution to eat better in 2019.

Make It a Family Affair

It’s true that there’s strength in numbers. What better way to stick to your new year’s resolution than to let the whole family in on the fun? Having other people, especially those you love, take this journey with you can make eating better so much easier and enjoyable. After all, nothing is better for family bonding than engaging in healthy activities together.

Set Realistic Expectations

Whether this is your first or nth time to attempt to eat healthily, you don’t have to set the bar too high. Break your goals down to attainable levels, like promising to only eat at certain times or making sure to eat at least three servings of fruit daily. There’s no shame in starting small, as long as you keep at it.

Plan Ahead

Planning what you’ll be eating for the rest of the week makes you less likely to throw the towel in and order take-out at the last minute. Shop for groceries before the week starts to make sure all your bases are covered.

Foster a Healthy Environment

“Out of sight, out of mind” is an adage that rings especially true for maintaining a healthy diet. The key is to keep an organized pantry where healthy food items are highly visible. Treats and snacks should be kept on high shelves. That way, you have to work a bit harder to access them. Hopefully, this is enough to make you think twice about reaching for that bag of chips.
