#165 – 4 Steps To Watch What You Eat To Improve Your Health

    What you eat and drink makes a big difference in how you look and feel. So the most common recommendation from family, friends and some nutrition experts is “Watch what you eat” when you want to lose weight.

    4 Steps To Watch What You Eat To Improve Your Health

    Some experts tell you to count calories or log every macronutrient. Then some want you to listen to your body. This can be confusing.

    Energy-dense foods contain a higher number of calories per serving. In contrast, nutrient-dense whole foods contain higher vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients with little or no added sugars or unhealthy fats and high calories.

    Eating balanced meals high in lean protein, healthy fats, and non-processed carbohydrates fuel your body’s energy and stabilize your blood sugar levels; therefore, you have fewer cravings. Therefore, including whole foods or other nutrient-dense foods in your diet will boost your energy levels. 

    There are many great strategies, and I share my favorites in this episode and some helpful tools and apps to help keep you dedicated to the watch-what-you-eat method you choose. These 4 steps to watch what you eat to improve your health are helpful and effective.

    It is essential to “Watch What You Eat” to reach your health and nutrition goals. Stick to a nutrition strategy that fits your lifestyle, is easily implemented, helps you change habits, and is sustainable.
