When it comes to healthy eating, having a stocked pantry is essential to keeping you on track. It will keep you motivated to eat healthily, save you many last-minute grocery runs, and will ensure that you always have the staples for a healthy meal readily available.
Here are some of the best healthy items to keep stocked in your pantry at all times.
Diets are usually associated with end goals, such as weight loss or muscle building, but they aren't sustainable in the long run, unfortunately.
There is an alternative to dieting that is much more natural, practical, and doable. This is the practice of intuitive eating. Intuitive eating is a higher quality way to view your relationship with food and doing so in a way that makes you feel good. Intuitive eating allows you to listen to your body and eat whatever makes you feel your absolute best rather than restricting food, counting calories, and following any diet "rules".
If you listen, your body will be able to tell you precisely what you need to thrive -- it just takes some practice learning how to tune in and listen for the cues.
Here are some ways that you can start eating intuitively.
Salads seem to be everyone's go-to meal when they're trying to eat healthier. They're full of crunchy, colorful veggies, low in calories, and loaded with micronutrients. They are also easy to toss together for lunch, whip up for a simple and quick dinner, and there are so many different variations that it's hard to get bored of salads. This makes salads a perfect go-to meal -- they're excellent for filling up your body with a load of nutrients and not having that heavy, full feeling afterward.
