In the world of Nutrition, “Diet” is about how you consume food.
Diet
definition: is the type and range of food that you regularly eat.
And it can be anything! Low in saturated fat diet, High in protein diet, low carb diet, etc.
But above all, there is only one type of DIET a Registered Nutritionist – Dietitian does prescribe… And it’s called “Proper diet”.
A proper diet should be balanced, has variety, and it should be complete.
Not crashed, and not too restricted.
So how do we start on a healthy, sustainable diet?
Here are my 3 starter tips:
-
BE CALM and EAT MINDFULLY
Don’t stress yourself. Just pay more attention on the food choices, where/when you will eat, your reasons for eating, and how you feel before/after eating. Listen to your body, and always consider where your food comes from, and how it is nourishing your body.
-
EAT MORE VEGETABLES and WHOLE FOODS
You may not be a fan of greens. But the truth is, you need a lot of it day by day – week by week. It should be a priority! 1/3-1/2 of your plate should come from vegetables and fruits.

And for your good sources of energy, always choose whole foods like potatoes and whole grains.
Most days I love to get my quality carbs from Potatoes! Potatoes – in all forms – provide the carbohydrates, potassium, and energy your body needs to perform at its best. And yes, Potatoes fit in a nutritious diet!
Potatoes are naturally nutrient-dense and a medium-sized with skin on only has 110 calories.
Personally, what I love about Potatoes is that it is naturally zero in cholesterol, sodium, and fat. #USPotatoPower

VISUALIZE THE RESULT
Imagine yourself getting into that awesome shape. Studies show that having a positive visualization helps us push our limits to get fitter.
Friendly reminder:
Eliminate self-doubt, love yourself, trust the program, and stay consistent.
You got this! 🙂
