We all realize that we have to eat to live, but too little of the right kinds of food
can lead to poor health. If you want to develop healthy eating habits, then you
have to make sure you eat three balanced meals a day and that you eat
nutritious snacks along the way. Your diet should include protein, fruits,
vegetables, and carbohydrates, and the less processed and fat-filled the food
is, the healthier you'll be.

A steady exercise program can speed weight loss, but be sure it is
reasonable to maintain.
Research several different kinds of diets focusing on the health and
longevity of other cultures.
Keep a food and exercise journal. It will help guide you with your daily
goals through accountability. Baby steps make it live-able.
Treat yourself to an occasional discretion, such as a piece of
chocolate.
Keep a chart of how many successful days you had and unsuccessful
days. Track how you got a unsuccessful day and more importantly, a
successful day. If you have 5 out of 10 days you may need to find how
the successful ones were made and likewise with the unsuccessful.
Attempt to keep a steadiness of healthy eating out of unhealthy eating.
By keeping a chart, you can visually see and record data on your day
to day basis, fix mistakes and can motivate you to step up your game
or say "good job".
Try to eat more vegetables than meat. Animal fats add more unhealthy
