Achieving a sustainable, balanced diet

It’s important to take the time to set meaningful diet goals. What would help you maintain these changes and are there people around to support you in the long run?  Regularly checking in with yourself and your goals helps to stay motivated and on track.

Sticking with it

These 5 tips will help you keep a balanced diet long-term:

Turn changes into habits

Build balanced eating into your everyday life

Do your best to keep as many positive changes from the programme as possible. Put together meals with the principles you ‘ve learned. You ‘ll become more creative with time and the changes that were new at the beginning will gradually become routine.

The goal is to make balanced eating part of your daily life!

Build treats into your life!

Indulge in treats every now and again. Eat them slowly and savour them in a relaxed atmosphere with friends or family.

Keep track of things ‘

Take time for yourself and to check in with your goals. What would help you maintain these changes? Who do you know who can support you in the long run? What progress have you made so far? Record your successes in your journal. Regularly checking in with yourself and your goals can help you keep going.

Listening to yourself is the key to success.

Strength in numbers

Motivation lasts longer in a team!

Ask for support from family, friends or colleagues who have the same goal as you. Shop and cook together, try new recipes or take something delicious to work and enjoy it together.

Choose natural foods

Make food choices that are as natural as possible! Use fresh ingredients where possible, avoid heavily processed foods and cook meals at home.

The fewer ingredients in a product, the better!
