Here are the tips that you need to get your diet fitness plan off the ground and allowing you to improve your health considerably!

  1. Eat more fruits and vegetables.  Visit your favorite recipe sites on the web and look for vegetable recipes that aren’t rich with sauces, butter or creams.  Add one new recipe to your diet each week.
  2. Start looking for leaner cuts of meat.  Remember, meats that are high in saturated fat are clogging your heart.  One good switch is with ground meats.  Don’t reach for beef, but replace at least part of it with ground turkey or pork.  You won’t notice the taste difference.  Eat more fish, chicken and pork over beef.
  3. Reduce portion sizes.  No food in one sitting should be a larger quantity than the size of your palm.  To help you to not feel hungry, eat a bit slower.
  4. Visit the website of the American Heart Association to get heart healthy recipes.  Try to look for ways to improve your current recipes through replacing butters, salts, unhealthy foods with foods that are better for you.  Look at your grains.  Replace white rice and pasta with whole grain.  Replace white bread with whole grain bread.
