Healthy Eating Mistakes You Could Be Making
Even if you know what you should be eating, putting that knowledge into action can feel like an Olympic sport. Many “mistakes” aren’t deal-breakers…Here are some common pitfalls that might be tripping you up.
- Skipping those important nutrients: Protein and fiber are MVPs when it comes to staying energized and satisfied—think beans, eggs, whole grains, or veggies.
- You’re stuck in restriction mode: Instead of obsessing over what you can’t eat, focus on creative swaps and additions that feel exciting.
- You’re planning for the short-term, not long-term.
- You’re all-or-nothing about food: Labeling foods as “good” or “bad” can backfire and leave you feeling guilty instead of motivated.
You’re ignoring frozen veggies. - You’re eating like your younger self.
