How can I turn my diet habits into every day habits?

Question

Rosanne Rust,MS,RDN · Answer

How can I turn my diet habits into everyday habits? So I'm not crystal clear here on what you're asking. If you're talking about your diet habits in terms of restrictive diet, or if you're talking about dietary habits, meaning healthy eating, how do you turn that into everyday habits? So that's what I'm gonna answer. The best way is to have a plan. Standard, standby, balanced meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, and then planning those grocery shopping trips or maybe some meal prepping to make sure that those happen. The success of that has to include some flexibility because you might just get bored or something might interfere with your schedule. Making a stable grocery list so that you always have foods in the home that are your go-tos for each meal and for snacks. It's also important to take the time to sit and enjoy each meal. You might also consider writing down your meal plan for the week. Even if it's a rough sketch of just dinner. If you've got breakfast and lunch covered, what are you going to have? Writing it down helps you stay accountable, but it also takes the stress away from having to think about what you're going to have for dinner. Not sure if that's what you were looking for as an answer to this question, but feel free to reach out with another one or message me if this wasn't what you were looking for.
