Let’s face it, eat­ing healthy can be con­fus­ing with all the con­flict­ing advice out there. Here are the 7 keys to eat­ing healthy 100% per­cent of the time.

• Read the ingre­di­ent list.
• Know what a serv­ing size is and stick to it. Por­tions are the num­ber one cause of weight gain. With huge por­tions becom­ing the norm, no won­der we are hav­ing dif­fi­culty stick­ing to a sin­gle serving.
• Lis­ten to your body. What does your body truly want/crave?  A sweet crav­ing that you think is for candy or cook­ies could actu­ally be a crav­ing for a sweet veg­etable. Try to stop, breathe, and ana­lyze to deter­mine if you might be just as sat­is­fied eat­ing a piece of fruit.
• Equip your fridge with healthy options. Pick up these 20 ingre­di­ents the next time you go to the super­mar­ket. They could be the key to keep­ing you from eat­ing unsat­is­fy­ing empty calories.
• Bal­ance your meal. Include a car­bo­hy­drate, pro­tein, and fat in every meal you make.
• Be flex­i­ble. Try to eat health­fully 90% of the time and what­ever you feel like eat­ing 10% of the time. We are all human and leav­ing a lit­tle room for flex­i­bil­ity is what will help you main­tain a healthy diet.
• Drink H2O along with any meal and you’ll real­ize you feel fuller faster. Many times when you feel hun­gry after you’ve eaten, it’s because you are actu­ally thirsty.

There you have it, short and sweet!
