5 Ways to Stick to Healthier Eating Habits

It can be difficult to stick to a healthy lifestyle. There are many factors that can impede our dietary intentions. However, we’re here to help you clear some of those barriers with a few helpful hints for healthy eating.

5 Ways to Stick to Healthy Eating

• You may have a few fitness or weight loss goals you’re working on right now. That’s terrific . . . as long as you define them clearly and keep your expectations reasonable. It’s not realistic to think you’ll revamp your diet and lose 60 pounds in under a month. It’s better to make short-term goals and take things one step at a time (more on that below). Also, try to avoid vague goals like “lose weight” or “eat healthy,” which aren’t very specific. For more help with making attainable goals, check out our previous post on New Year Resolutions.

• As long as you know not to create lofty eating goals, this part will seem intuitive. Let’s say, for example, you want to reduce the amount of sugar and artificial sweets you consume. A poor approach would be to go “cold turkey” immediately. Most folks relapse fast after trying something that drastic. The “baby steps” method of slowly reducing sugar intake works much better. Begin with something like eliminating one soft drink per day or substituting candy for sweet fruits like bananas or strawberries. After you enjoy some success, you can scale things further.

• Many people have trouble eating healthy when they’re busy at work. The best way to resolve this problem is to bring healthy food with you instead of ordering out or picking something up on-the-go. Among our many meal options, ReBuilt Meals has several items that give you a healthy boost of energy at work. These include Dijon Lentil Salad or Singapore Rice Noodles, to name just a couple healthy and easy-prep choices.

• Whatever you do, never force yourself into a diet you cannot tolerate. Just because others have success with a popular approach doesn’t mean it works for everyone. That’s one reason we offer diverse meal categories such as Lifestyle, Keto, Performance, and Plant Based. 

• If you struggle to stick to healthy eating because you don’t have time to cook, then we’re here to help. Our ReBuilt Meals delivery service streamlines everything by cutting out all the shopping, food preparation, and dishwashing. Instead, we deliver healthy food to convenient local pick-up locations (or straight to your door!), everything is pre-made, and you can reheat meals without creating more dirty dishes.

These are a few ways you can make healthy eating much easier. What are you waiting for? Let ReBuilt Meals help you get healthier, and stick to healthier eating habits. We’ll do the cooking and you do the living!
