Gal-pal of the podcast, Pat Greenberg, is with us to decipher the confusing information around healthy eating. She brings it back to the basics for an effortless approach to having a healthy kitchen. This episode is for anyone who wants to lose some weight, get more fit, or just to be healthier and feel better.



Below are suggestions for healthier eating using common food items most of have on hand or can easily get. Making small changes are easier, and they add up to success!


No matter what meal you are eating and what’s on your plate, always start with a big glass of water. 
Start out by only eating treats outside of the house. Celebrations at restaurants, parties and milestone events are fine but keeping your kitchen clean of treats will keep you on track.
Every meal should include a serving of fruits and vegetables. Pizza with veggies is a perfect example.
Any protein will do, beef, chicken, fish, beans, and (my go-to) eggs.
Dairy products are fine, just don’t consume any that are artificially prepared or colored.
Breads should be sourdough or whole grain.
Instead of a candy bar, substitute a bowl of nuts and chocolate chips.
Instead of straight up soda, add seltzer to it.  
Always be mindful of portions sizes.
Stick with foods you enjoy, life should always be happy!
Lastly, if you are having trouble, it’s often emotional so do get yourself some help.
