Any tips on how to eat healthier?

[BertMacklinFBI]

its gonna cost you money, but depending on your goals it should be worth it.

go on a natural foods diet if you can, this will ensure you get all your nutrition needs from good sources of food. anything that fell off a tree or grew out of the ground you can eat. avoid processed foods as much as possible, anything man-made, although there are a few exceptions such as wheat bread, within moderation.

protein - chicken breast, pork, you can even eat red meat it offers good vitamins and nutrients you need but in controlled portion sizes, ground turkey, poultry, etc.
complex carbs - sweet potato, white potato, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa
vegetables - anything and everything, but some good super food leafy greens will be broccoli, kale, and then spinach, chards, lentils, any leafy green vegetable you can consume.
dairy - almond milk, greek yogurt, if you can find the "healthier" yogurts and cheese you can consume those within moderation.

try to use little to no sauces like ketchup, mustard, ranch, honey mustard, its all processed, some sauces that are exceptions are Tobasco, its ingredients are only like 3 things and really simple.

if you can cut off soda, that will help a lot.

my highest recommendation though, don't try to do all of this at once, if you try that you're most likely to fail since you're starting at an extreme level. take it at your own pace, day by day and grow into it, its a lifestyle change.

When you go to the grocery store, do 90% of your shopping on the outside aisles (produce, unprocessed meats, dairy, etc) as opposed to the middle aisles (processed foods).

Learn how to cook.

*Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
*Cut out a lot of sweets and soda, but not completely because it'll make you crave it more- it's ok to indulge once in a while
*Avoid fried, greasy foods and go for the baked ones instead
*Eat healthy fats (Google it)
*Make sure you eat foods with protein, fiber, and carbs, but not too many
*Drink 6-8 cups of water each day

Try no junk food November , completely cut out sugary foods, stop drinking soda if you are that helped me lose weight i cut out soda completely and only drink water and it makes you feel so much better, portion your food. Limit the amount of white breads and stuff. Also if you drink coffee limit yourself to one cup a day.

Cook at home. Even if you eat fried food at home is still better than eating takeout
