In this episode, we delve into a topic that might seem straightforward but is often clouded in confusion: 'How to Eat a Healthy Diet.'

At first, I was surprised that this question came up because, after all, we all know the basics of healthy eating, right? However, the reality is that the abundance of diet frameworks, each claiming to hold the key to health, can be overwhelming. So, I'm here to provide clarity.

In this episode, I won't give you a one-size-fits-all diet plan because, frankly, there isn't one. Instead, I'll discuss the timeless principles that remain consistent across various dietary approaches: prioritize protein, increase fiber intake, embrace dietary diversity, and minimize ultra-processed foods.

But here's the catch: Knowing what to do is only half the battle. The real challenge is sticking to these principles long-term. We'll explore the pitfalls of restrictive diets, the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting, and why building habits is the key to success.

I'll introduce you to the concept of the '1% rule,' a powerful tool for gradual, sustainable change. By making small, manageable changes daily, you can achieve remarkable transformations over time. It's all about stretching your comfort zone, not forcing drastic change.

We'll also discuss the role of micro habits in reshaping your relationship with food and exercise. These small adjustments can have a profound impact on your overall health and well-being.

Moreover, we'll tackle the importance of adding, not just subtracting, from your diet. Adding more nutritious foods, like protein and vegetables, can naturally crowd out less desirable options, reducing cravings.

And don't forget about resistance training! Discover how even a few minutes a day can make a significant difference in building and maintaining muscle, which is crucial for long-term health.

Lastly, we'll explore the fascinating journey of your taste buds. Did you know they can change in as little as two weeks? I'll explain how shifting from ultra-processed to whole foods can transform your palate and your cravings.

Join me on this insightful journey towards sustainable, healthy eating habits. Remember, it's not about quick fixes but gradual, lasting change. Tune in and empower yourself to make the right choices for your well-being.
