Statements like, “I’m going to eat better.” do more harm than good. They indicate a desire to improve without any concrete direction. This leads to frustration because the thought isn’t backed by a solid plan. Add clarity to avoid confusion.
Find out what food choices are better through research or sourcing out a reputable and qualified nutrition coach. Ask about credentials and experience because it is not safe to assume that all health professionals (including your doctor) are fit to advise you on nutrition choices.
Implement clear changes like filling half your plate wtih colourful fruits and veggies, one quarter with whole and unrefined grains and one quarter with protein rich sources (as seen in Canada’s food guide). Using this template 80% of the time allows for a meal that doesn’t follow it every other day, when following a three meal per day routine. That’s how you choose clarity over confusion!
