How do you eat Healthy?

"You are what you eat." That is not just a saying from your childhood, it is true.
I don't need to focus on they why you need to eat healthy, you have heard that enough, the question now is how?
If you fill yourself with marshmellows all the time, what will you end up being? It is not to say that you can occasionally have those things that you love, but to fuel your body, you need more disgression.
For me, the process of eating more healthy has been a long one. I remember the days when we (my husband and I) would sit down to a plate full of chicken nuggets and fries for dinner. I knew we needed to eat better, but had no idea how. What "diet" plans are for is to help you learn how to eat smarter. It will take a lot of work at first, but as you practice, it will become easier.
So you first need to decide, are you going to jump in the deep end and go right into a strict diet first, and learn how to eat better that way? Or are you going to wade in a step at a time and slowly make changes? That is the decision you need to make yourself because everyone is different. It has worked for me to slowly make changes for me and my family, but others revert back too easily and need that full submersion to find success.
Here is a link for you to find some easy steps to take called Michi's Ladder to make some steps towards your goal of eating better.
You can make it happen! Decide. Committ. Succeed.
