This guide of essential healthy habits will help you avoid poor eating and crash diets on your way to reaching your weight loss goals.

LEARN TO COOK
Knowing how to cook is a must if you want to break the cycle of packaged (and highly processed) foods and eating out too much. You don’t have to become Martha Stewart. Just learn some simple and healthy dishes that you can add to your regular rotation. You’ll soon learn that experimenting in the kitchen can actually be quite fun! You can make healthy meals that not only nourish your body, but also satisfy your taste buds.

GRADUALLY ELIMINATE THE JUNK
Crash diets don’t work. You know it, we know it, everyone knows it. You can’t just cut out entire food groups for a few months or eat low calorie foods and snacks that actually contain a ton of sugar and expect to keep weight off. A healthy body is the sum of a lot of daily habits. You have to change your diet overall, not temporarily. Stick to real, healthy meals.

GO GREEN
Green goods like kale, spinach, lettuce, and cucumbers are not only extremely good for you, but they also do a great job of keeping you full so that you don’t snack too much between meals. Include them in your diet every day, in some way.

HYDRATE
Staying hydrated is important for so many reasons. It gets your body fueled, flushes toxins, keeps your skin looking great, and helps you digest food better. It will keep your body healthy and aid in weight loss.

SIZE DOWN
Studies have shown that simply switching to smaller plates can reduce portions and cut down calories. If you want to avoid overeating, get yourself smaller plates and bowls. This will ensure that you don’t overdo it.

REST UP
Sleep is incredibly important for maintaining healthy weight. When you’re overly tired, your body craves unhealthy foods and you’re more prone to snacking throughout the day. You can also lack focus and energy, which is detrimental to an active and healthy lifestyle.
