Eating healthy is something we all strive to maintain, even though it can be hard at times. In order to eat healthy, you must first make the right food choices. Eating healthy is all about what you eat, which makes the choices very crucial to your results.
Here are a few basic guidelines that you can follow to eat healthier and lose weight without dieting. You can tweak a few things in your daily eating habits that will create health in the long term. Instead of eliminating certain foods or food groups forever, commit to include one or two of these tips into your healthy eating habits each week to create an entirely new perspective and eating pattern in a month or so.
Focus on adding one or two things in daily as a starting point. If you’re ready to eat healthier and lose weight, get started with these tips.
10 ways to eat healthier without Dieting
- DRINK WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING:
You should drink at least (3 cups) or 20-30 ounces of water right after waking up. Avoid breakfast for at least 45 minutes after consumption. Drinking water on an empty stomach also increases your metabolic rate by 24%, releasing toxin, which begins movement in your bowel. This process will recover and improve your digestive system, purify your colon and let your organ absorb nutrients faster naturally.
Tip: Lemon water with ginger is even better, but if you don’t have one, don’t skip the water, drink up!
- EAT PROTEIN BREAKFAST
When you wake up, your body needs the power-building nutrient for your muscle. Protein satiates you, avoids sugar crash, boosts fat burning, keeps you full longer and balances your blood sugar. High-protein breakfast reduces calories intake later in the day and is a very effective way to lose weight. Aim for 15-20 grams of protein, 20 grams in three meals instead of 60 at dinner.
Tips: Example of 15-20 grams of protein:two hard boiled eggs or a cup of oatmeal and two tablespoons of nut butter.
- SKIP (OR REDUCE) SUGAR IN YOUR COFFEE AND TEA, ADD COLLAGEN PROTEIN
If you spike your blood sugar in the morning, you’re more likely to eat up to double the food during the day. Adding collagen protein into your coffee or tea is a great way to get your protein in the morning, not to mention will make your hair and nails stronger and longer, and support the elasticity of your skin. If you don’t drink coffee or tea, you can add it to a smoothie or any other beverage of your choice.
Commit to balanced blood sugar in the morning and watch your health change.
Tip: Do an experiment for 2 weeks with no sugar or sweeteners in your coffee. Give yourself 14 days to test whether or not coffee without sugar is something that you want to make a lifelong habit.
- STAY HYDRATED- DRINK MOSTLY WATER
Water should always be your first beverage choice. Drinking water does more than quench your thirst. It keeps your body and all organs functioning properly and feeling healthy.
Replacing or reducing regular drinks such as sodas (aka “pop”) and fruit juices decreases empty calories intake and spikes blood sugar. Diet soda has the same effect on your blood sugar as regular soda
You’ll be surprised about what staying hydrated can do for your body.
Tip: If your pee is very light yellow, you are well hydrated. If your pee is dark yellow, it’s time to drink up.
- PREPARE HEALTHY MEALS AT HOME
If you only make one change this week, this needs to be it.
The simplest thing you can do to be healthier is to make most of your own food at home.
Convenience food might feel like the quietest, easiest option but typically high in sugar, salt, unhealthy fat and calories. Option is more than you should eat, usually two to three times larger than the recommended dietary guidelines. This encourages you to eat more portions. When you cook at home, you control the nutrition and ingredients you consume.

- COOK ONCE, EAT 2 OR 3 TIMES
- EAT MORE AT MEALTIME AND EAT LESS AT NIGHT
Eating heartily high protein meals earlier in the day instead of in the evenings leads to not just weight loss but better health even when the same food and calories are consumed. Eat enough at mealtime, breakfast and lunch will satiate you until the next meal. Leaving you to snack less and likely to eat a big dinner.
When to eat: There is no right or wrong rule governing the time of your last meal of the day. Aim to eat less calories that don’t exceed lunch or breakfast calories and that you eat at least two-third of your day’s calories intake before dinner.
Tip: It’s important to go to bed feeling light and not heavily full. This way, you wake up hungry for a big protein breakfast.
