Follow a Balanced Diet

We’re not going to vote for keto, intermittent fasting, high-carb, low fat, vegan, paleo, carnivore or any of these other high maintenance diets. If you’ve found one that works just right for you and your lifestyle, that’s great! However, for the average person to manage their health and weight, the equation is pretty simple. Eat a balanced diet that includes various foods: fruits and vegetables, good quality protein sources, high-fibre grains and healthy fats. We even think it’s important to eat a doughnut every once in a while (that’s where the balance comes in). Instead of blindly restricting and cutting out food groups, including and enjoying everything in moderation is the key factor here. Eating in this way will enable you to include all the nutrients your body needs, while also being sustainable because you can still enjoy all your favourite foods, perhaps just not every single day. If weight loss is one of your health goals, control how much you eat overall, rather than removing carbs or fats completely, and you’ll find it far easier to stick to your diet.
