1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman sorts through the conflicting research on food to give us the skinny on what to eat.Did you know that oatmeal actually isn't a healthy way to start the day? That milk doesn't build bones, and eggs aren't the devil? In Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?, Dr. Hyman looks at every food group and explains what we've gotten wrong, revealing which foods nurture our health and which pose a threat. He also explains food's crucial role in functional medicine and how food systems and policies affect our environmental and personal health.
Stick to whole foods as much as possible! That means largely eating veggies and staying away from packaged food. Obviously avoid sugars, in particular that means alcohol (I accidentally lost 15 lbs when I quit drinking, and I wasn't overweight to begin with.)
Overall I wouldn't focus so much on how much you're eating, as the types of food are more important. I'd suggest reading "The Disease Delusion" by Dr. Jeff Bland to learn how diet impacts your health -- for me, learning about how my genes express based on my environment, diet, and lifestyle caused a shift in my food choices.
If that book doesn't appeal to you, I'd still look for one that does! Dr. Mark Hyman is also fantastic (follow him on IG!) and while I haven't read his book (What The Heck Do I Eat) I bet it's a great one.
And my best tip for staying on track with healthy eating? MEAL PREP (as much as you can)!
I keep these Blueberry Vegan Protein Pancakes in the fridge so it's easy to put peanut butter on one for breakfast and head out the door. Another great option is organic rolled oats with some nuts and fruit!
For lunches and dinners I'm always making the same thing... It's a mixed bowl of ground turkey, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, quinoa, onion, garlic, kale, pumpkin and sesame seeds. All you need to do is steam the veggies, cook the ground turkey, and mix it all together. You can switch up the flavour between your favourite seasonings. Right now I'm into the interesting combo of dill and nutritional yeast, but I sometimes use organic taco seasoning on the turkey or organic tomato sauce (be careful to get one with few ingredients and no sugar.)
Finding a way to sustainably eat well for you is what matters most. Try out different methods and keep what feels right, leave what doesn't. There is no one size fits all diet and trust that you know what's best for your body.
Good luck!! I hope this helps! Remember to just do your best, and it's not the end of the world if you have treats every now and then. ๐
