My recommendation for today is to keep a food diary.
A weight watchers concept, keeping a food journal may be your "aha" moment. For a week, record everything you put in your mouth. Knowing what you really eat versus what you think you eat is a good place to start understanding your personal dietary behaviors.
There are many ways to eat for a healthy outcome. We have all heard about the Mediterranean diet, vegetarian diet, Asian diet, DASH diet for hypertension etc. Fad diets are ubiquitous.
Building on foods you naturally enjoy is a simple way to tweak your nutrition and develop better eating habits that will stay with you. The idea behind this blog is to provide daily ways to achieve a nutritious diet with appropriate caloric intake. If you want a crash course, you can consume the "whole enchilada", at the USDA website.
