Healthy Diet and Busy Life- Solutions to keeping the diet in check


A healthy diet and a busy life: you can have both! Here are some easy ways to make your diet healthier:
Start your day with a meal replacement shake - add some protein to keep the hunger and hunger under control.
Overview:
A healthy and delicious meal that provides essential nutrients and quality ingredients in an enhanced formula proudly backed by scientific research.

Details:
Formula 1 includes soy protein, fiber and essential nutrients that can help support metabolism, cellular growth repair and production.
  • Eat more fresh foods. We know you love your fast-and-easy frozen dinners. But they're high in salt, sugar and fat. To wean yourself from frozen fast food, start by making just one more fresh dinner per week. When you can't avoid a frozen food fix, pair it with a piece of fruit, some heated-up frozen veggies or a salad.
  • Have healthy snacks on hand. Bad snacks can derail the best diet. Whether you're at home or at work, have some tasty, healthy snacks close by. Instead of cookies, reach for low-fat yogurt, a fruit cup or low-fat chocolate milk. Instead of chips, try a flavored rice cake or some veggie sticks.
  • Get adventurous with healthy foods. Are you eating the same thing for lunch every day? Eating a variety of foods can help you get more of the nutrients you need. So start a healthy food adventure this week! Try a new fruit or vegetable, or make your dinner vegetarian by using tofu instead of meat.
     
  • Replace soft drinks with water. Soft drinks offer nothing but sugar and empty calories.
  • Take smaller portions. Thanks to super-sized restaurant meals, our idea of a normal portion has swelled over the years. Put less on your plate, and don't try to finish everything.
  • Savour your food. Slow eaters enjoy their food more and are less likely to overeat.
  • Don't swear off your favorite foods forever. You can still enjoy the occasional chocolate bar or cookie. Just don't have them every day!
  • Pump up your pantry. A well-stocked pantry can mean the difference between a frozen dinner and a quick, healthy meal. Here's your starter shopping list: canned tomatoes, low-sodium pasta sauce, beans, dry whole-grain pasta, brown rice, olive and canola oil, canned tuna (in water), low-sodium beef or chicken bouillon, oatmeal.
  • Batch it up. Find one day a week to make some time for cooking. Make large portions of healthy foods like chili or a tofu stir-fry. Then freeze individual serving sizes so you can bring them for lunch or pop them in the microwave for a quick dinner.
  • Choose the right shortcuts. For many of us, cooking a healthy meal every single night is just not an option. So choose healthier shortcuts: Read the nutrition label of convenience foods to find products that are lower in salt, fat and sugar. Try frozen fruits and veggies, pre-washed salads or pre-cut veggie and fruit trays.
