Health Tip: Kick Unhealthy Eating Habits

(HealthDay News) — Healthy habits are key to a healthier lifestyle and weight loss, but it’s not always easy.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these suggestions:

Eat breakfast every morning, and make it a healthy one. Opt for lean proteins, whole grains, and fruit and vegetables.
Limit coffee intake to no more than three cups per day, and avoid adding fattening creamers and sugar.
Bring your lunch to work every day. Stock up on healthier essentials, such as baked chicken, steamed rice, fruit and veggies and whole-grain bread.
Buy and eat more fruit and vegetables.
Avoid takeout, and cook dinner at home. Preparing meals during weekends can be a big time-saver during the week.
