Think about it. There are so many diets out there based on restriction. People diet to get healthier. It\u2019s no wonder \u201chealthy\u201d has a negative connotation. But dieting and health are not synonymous. Healthy eating is all about taste, pleasure, and satisfaction! If this approach is more your speed, learn how you can nurture yourself and manage your weight at the same time.\u00a0 <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, you need to be ready for change. It\u2019s important to understand that \u201cnothing changes until you do.\u201d If you want something different, you have to actually do something different. Write down some changes you think you need to make to eat healthier. Then think of one easy (and I mean easy) thing you can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example. Many people order take out because it keeps them from having to cook and grocery shop, which saves them time. Suppose you order a pizza and usually eat 3-4 slices. Here are some simple changes that can make a huge difference:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/04\/how-moms-can-make-healthy-choices-in-a-restaurant\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7663\" title=\"family-pizza-night\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/family-pizza-night.gif\" alt=\"family-pizza-night\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start with a salad and light dressing and after you finish it put one to two slices of pizza on your plate \u2013 enjoy every bite!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Order veggies on your pizza instead of high fat meats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Replace the mozzarella on half with feta cheese (if available).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Make your meal last at least 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you think you can achieve one or more of these changes, you\u2019ll cut the calories and fat in half!\u00a0 You\u2019ll also meet your veggie quota for the day.<\/p>\n<p>This is nurturing because you aren\u2019t asking yourself to dramatically change everything at once. Notice, pizza is still on the menu and you\u2019re still saving time. You\u2019re also making a dramatic change with seemingly little effort. Your dinner still tastes good and satisfies you. You simply balanced it out with a salad, healthy substitutions, and <a title=\"serving size\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/01\/know-your-portion-sizes\/\" target=\"_self\">portion control<\/a>. There\u2019s always time to tackle additional changes, which you\u2019ll be more likely to do if you can succeed at easy ones first. Make your list. Choose a change. Do it. It\u2019s that easy \u2013 and it\u2019s nurturing!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><em><strong>Guest Blog Series:<\/strong> Look for the following badge on your favorite health sites to see if they have been a featured guest blogger on <\/em><a title=\"diet reviews\" onclick=\"pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outbound\/article\/');\" href=\"..\/..\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>DietsInReview.com<\/em><\/a><em>.
