So tomorrow i am starting my healthy diet for one month (maybe longer, if i can stand it), yes that's right no more of the lovely sweet snacks i enjoy nomming on everyday. I can see my 750 words becoming my daily whine spot..
So today's post is going to be about healthy snacks and what kind of things you need to include in your everyday meals to maintain a healthy balanced diet.
The basic rules are:
• Eat a variety of foods from each group, including at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day.
• Base meals on starchy foods such as bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. Choose wholegrain varieties when possible.
• Eat smaller amounts of meat or other protein, choosing lower-fat versions when possible.
• Eat two portions of fish each week, one of which should be oily.
• Swap high-fat dairy foods, like full-fat milk and cheese, for lower-fat versions.
• Eat small amounts of fatty and sugary foods.
• Cut down on 'bad' saturated fats and replace with 'good' monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
• Eat less salt.
• Drink alcohol in moderation.

I got these from FloraHearts Article on eating healthy. There is also a tool on this site that allows you to check your heart age. The good thing is my heart's age is exactly the age I am. So that's good I guess.
At the moment though, im not cutting out all unhealthy foods i am just replacing my usually sugary, high fat snacks and foods with fruits or vegetables.
