Healthy diet habits are created each day, and once you establish them they will become second nature! Here are my top daily habits that can add up to 7 years to your life!
Top Daily Diet Habits
Always Eat Breakfast! (Oats + Flaxseed & Berries)
- Use the 90/10 Rule (plan for a free day, 1-2 free meals, and/or a day of rest)
- Drink at least half your body weight (in ounces) of water
- Eat 5 times a day (3 meals, 2 protein based snacks) 3-4 hours apart.(check out my meal plans)
- Aim for a larger breakfast, a protein-based dinner, and limit simple carbs (fruit/dairy) in the morning
- No eating after 9 pm or 3 hours before bed
- Get your heart rate up for at least 20 minutes (find a workout for you)
- Don’t skip meals.
- Eat lean proteins with every meal.
- Watch Portions (size of your palm)
- Sleep between 10pm – 6am or 7-8 hours each night on a schedule
- Limit whole grains and natural starches; load up on fibrous carbs.
- Manage Macronutrients: People who are apple shaped and can put on muscle (endomorphs) need 40-50% carbs, 30% protein, 20-30% fat. (1350-1400 calories)
- Avoid Stress…take time for you, say no to the good and yes to the great, and rid yourself of negative people!
