Luck is on your side as I have made available to you little but important points you should consider when planning a diet plan.

HEALTHY EATING TIPS YOU SHOULD PRACTICE

1. EAT MORE OF COLOURFUL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
Vegetables and fruits are known to be low in nutrient dense and calories so they are much packed with fresh antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
I advise you focus on eating fruits and vegetables and don’t just stop there, follow the recommended daily minimum of five servings which will fill you up. Stay on this plan and make sure you stay away from unhealthy foods.
An example of a serving of fruits and vegetables could be- a small cup of raw fruit/veg. Consuming fruits and vegetables is very important as it helps increase blood in the body and gives good skin quality.

2. SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS
One of the many mistakes a lot of people make when creating their own healthy eating plan is that they try to alter their entire diet plan all at once and it is not wise. This is one of the reasons why people fail to stick to their new eating plan; they try to go all at once for that big drastic change.
Listen, you do not need to alter your entire eating plan for a new one in one day, doing that will make it difficult for you. I rather advise you make little changes each day. It could start with adding a salad to your diet once a day or even taking a cup of fruit juice to go with breakfast. You can then move a step further by replacing fried fish with grilled fish and so on.

Doing this, you will notice that gradually the small changes you’ve made to your plan will become a habit and from there, you can continue to add even more changes and it will make a positive difference in your health.
One of the many ways you can set yourself up for success includes:
•    Prepare More of Your Own Meals

One of the excuses people give these days about their inability to prepare their own meals is that they don’t just have the time. Well, what you eat plays a major role in how your overall health is so; you should create time to cook your own meals. By preparing your meals, you monitor what you eat, how it is being cooked and the kind of ingredients that goes into your meal.

•    Simplify
Like they say, variety is the spice of life. Rather than being overly concerned about your intake of calories, think of ways to ways to improve your diet

Also try to eat with other people or eat  in from of tv which would help you model healthy eating habits for your kids.
