Two important points to start off your year is by:
1.- Enjoyment and not deprivation, is the best way to make a fresh start on a healthy you. When you deprive yourself of things you like, you end up eating more down the line. Learn to pass up overly processed foods and concentrate on simple foods and drinks as the New Year begins. Look at the ingredients on the label, if you can’t pronounce half of what it contains, guess what? It’s not really healthy.
2.- Balancing a meal: The easiest way to know if you are eating healthy is to look down at your plate and determine if it is balanced. Sometimes determining 'balance' can be tricky though! Divide your plate in HALF. Half number one should be fruits and veggies. Half number two should have grains
and protein. The same goes for your kids. Take a look at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ for more tips.
That’s it! If you can do these two things, then you can give yourself a big pat on the back.
