Incorporating more healthy foods into your diet doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing affair. In fact, if you want the changes to stick, you should start out gradually and slowly replace your unhealthy foods with healthier options. Instead of reaching for some chips, opt for some nuts instead. Craving something sweet? Have fruit in your home. You should also slowly remove temptations from your home as it will make it that much easier for you to turn to healthy options.

Of course, you don’t have to eat healthy all the time and it shouldn’t be an all-consuming thought. If you eat a slice of cake, don’t sweat it! Even that can be part of a balanced diet so long as you continue eating fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. There are also plenty of resources available online that can help you come up with a healthy meal plan so you don’t fall back too often on take out.
