\u00a0The New\u00a0Year is here and it brings with it the flood of New Year’s\u00a0resolutions- usually\u00a0to lose weight or change your eating habits in one way or the other.<\/font>\u00a0 If\u00a0you have broken your resolution already remember that the Mediterranean diet is a way of life and a no-diet diet.\u00a0 The Basic Art of Italian Cooking is based on eating the Mediterranean diet way-healthy and all natural and eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. For the easy way to eat the Mediterranean diet way, follow the\u00a0 Mediterranean food pyramid athttp:\/\/www.womensheart.org\/content\/Nutrition\/mediterranean.asp<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0Resolutions should be for life not just\u00a0for the first week\u00a0of the\u00a0New Year.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are 6 ways to help make healthy eating resolutions easy for the New Year and for life:<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

1-Forget \u2018Fad\u2019 Diets<\/font><\/p>\n

Weight loss diets that are extremely restrictive or that totally eliminates a food group or over emphasizes a food group are not healthy, too extreme and are doomed to fail. They are not long term but just very short term solutions.<\/font><\/p>\n

RESOLUTION<\/strong>-Eat a healthy, well balanced diet that emphasizes healthy, unprocessed foods.\u00a0 <\/span>Be mindful of portion sizes- especially when eating out. Incorporate more movement into your every day daily life<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

2-Emphasize Variety<\/font><\/p>\n

Eat a wide variety of all food groups. Not any one food has all the nutrients you need.<\/font><\/p>\n

RESOLUTION<\/strong>-Pay attention to all food groups- grain products, meat & substitutes, nuts, legumes, vegetables, fruit and dairy products. Attempt to incorporate a healthy balance of all food groups in your daily diet. <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

3-Moderation<\/font><\/p>\n

Eating healthfully does not mean giving up or eliminating the foods we enjoy. It means allowing yourself to eat moderate amounts. <\/font><\/p>\n

RESOLUTION-<\/strong>Aim to eat everything in moderation.\u00a0 <\/span>Smaller portions of foods higher in calories.\u00a0 <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

4-Plan Long Term<\/font><\/p>\n

A single meal or food is not what makes or breaks a healthy pattern of eating<\/font><\/p>\n

RESOLUTION-<\/strong> Think of healthy eating as a lifelong habit not something you do for a month and then quit. When you eat healthy balanced meals most of the time, enjoying occasional indulgences is fine<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

5-Breakfast is #1<\/font><\/p>\n

RESOLUTION-<\/strong>Eat a healthy balanced breakfast every day. It helps control weight, improves concentration for a busy day at work and school and it provides nutrients missing in your diet.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

6-Slow & Steady<\/font><\/p>\n

One small change at a time works best for lasting change. <\/font><\/p>\n

RESOLUTION- <\/strong>When modifying how you eat do it slowly. You are making changes that should last for life not just for the month. Read also :<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n
