Follow a Healthy Diet Menu in 3 Easy Steps

A healthy diet menu is something that most people know they SHOULD be incorporating. More than likely you know what sort of items comprise a healthy diet menu, too. The problem is putting it all together and consistently eating healthy the majority of the time. I say “the majority of the time” because you do need to live a little. Everyone should have an occasional indulgence. I’m not the diet dictator. Even I’ve been known to scarf down a handful of potato chips to squelch a PMS-induced salty craving. Hey, I’m only human!

3 Simple Steps to Organize A Healthy Diet Menu

Step 1: Plan out a whole week and commit to eating healthy for that length of time. You plan so many other things in your life. Spending 15 minutes to sit down and create your menu for the week is no big deal. This is the start of a healthy lifestyle. There’s even a show on the Food Network that helps you plan out easy healthy meals for a week with minimal time and ingredient preparations. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name of it. I think it might be Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller. She has a book, too.

Step 2: Avoid processed and packaged foods. I used to use the Rice-a-Roni out of the box. Then when I discovered that it was filled with preservatives and junk (duh! Of course it is) I made the switch to buying a nice, pure rice. Plus, it’s cheaper. For convenience, look for one that doesn’t take an hour to cook. And no, minute rice does not count. NO enriched white rice. Jasmine or basmati varieties are healthful and taste good. I’ve found some that take only 15 minutes to prepare.

Step 3: Incorporate variety! A wide array of brightly colored fruits and vegetables can make following a healthy diet menu, fun, pretty, and tasty. Blueberries and broccoli are considered “super foods” because of all their wonderful health benefits.

The goal of a successful healthy diet menu is to be well balanced and increase your intake of vital minerals, vitamins, and other necessary nutrients. You’ll feel more energized and start looking trimmer in no time. Plus, it’s just a great thing to do for yourself and your family.

A brief side note: I recently had a comment posted on one of my articles. It was not very appreciative of the information, rather she was saying how I was a bit sarcastic, which is true, I don't deny. But the thing that bothers me is that once again people are out there searching for "Free Information" and then disgruntled to find people providing the same knowledge and "common sense" strategies. I was participating in a workshop recently and the presenter said right at the outset:

Avoid "I know this already" type of judgments. The really profound thing that she said was that you don't know it unless you are living it every day.

YOU DON'T KNOW IT, UNLESS YOU ARE LIVING IT EVERY DAY.
