Overwhelmed by everything you need to do to start to eat healthier?
10 years ago, I wanted to be the happiest and healthiest version of me. What I wish I knew — because I struggled so much in the beginning — is this:
You don’t have to do EVERYTHING at once.
You can eat healthier and feel good about yourself immediately with ONE change. Yes, really.
It surprises every woman I coach.
This is the secret people don’t share — it doesn’t have to be so hard and such a challenge. You don’t need to overhaul everything you eat, drink and do, to look and feel better.
With everything you could do though, how exactly do you start to eat healthier?

3 Healthy Eating Tips to Look and Feel Your Best
For best results, try ONE of these for 2 weeks. Then decide if it’s right for you.
If it is, keep doing it, and choose a second habit.
If it isn’t, drop it without guilt, then try another until you find what works for you.
You think it won’t make a difference (especially because you’ve tried so many things in the past that haven’t worked) — but I promise, consistency with one habit, will positively impact multiple areas of your life.
When I stopped trying to change everything — which stressed me out — and started being consistent with one thing I was much more successful with eating better. Most importantly, I was happier and healthier.
My self-confidence grew too — because I stuck to my goals. I felt in control again — lighter — like I could actually do what I said I would.
You’ll feel the same if you follow these healthy eating tips too.
#1 — Eat Breakfast
Have a quick and easy breakfast each morning.
Don’t focus on making it healthy — do that later — what’s important initially is creating a habit.
Why? Skipping breakfast forces your body into starvation mode, slowing your metabolism as it tries to save energy. Making you sluggish, tired and unmotivated.
You also risk craving junk food for lunch and supper — and the guilt and frustration that follows.
#2 — Add Fruit & Vegetables
Add fruit or veg to every meal (without changing anything else).
Berries with breakfast, a banana with your morning or afternoon snack, cherry tomatoes with lunch, and a side of broccoli with supper.
Studies show the more fruit and veg you eat, the happier, calmer and more energetic you are. Full of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and water — which most of us are deficient in — you’ll feel the benefits instantly.
They lift your mood, reduce signs of ageing, improve how your brain and body function, and boost your immune system.
They’re also scientifically proven to prevent and in some cases reverse heart and lung disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s, and depression.
#3 — Sneak in Superfoods
Add a superfood to one meal a day.
Thanks to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, superfoods are a quick and effective way to boost your mental and physical health.
They give you what you need to be your best — boosting your overall performance, mood and energy.
I’ve listed my favourites below. Add a teaspoon of one to overnight oats, yoghurt, salads, soup, curries and stews, to feel the benefits.
- Flaxseeds — proven to lower blood pressure (better than medication) and help control blood sugar — they also reduce inflammation (a normal healing response, but harmful if there’s not actually an injury or foreign body to protect against), menstrual breast pain and even the risk of breast and prostate cancer.
- Chia Seeds — these reduce anxiety and depression, and your risk of osteoporosis, chronic disease and high cholesterol — plus support digestion, gut health and weight management, and reduce inflammation.
- Amla Powder — proven to prevent and even treat cancer — it’s the most antioxidant-rich food on Earth removing free radicals that damage our cells and can lead to illness and disease.
- Maca Powder — boosts your energy levels, mood and cognitive function — in turn, it may reduce anxiety levels and depression.
- Cinnamon — half a teaspoon increases your antioxidant intake by 600% — helping you look, feel and function better by slowing the effects of ageing.
- Turmeric — helps prevent and even treat lung disease, brain disease and a variety of cancers — can also speed up recovery after surgery and treat rheumatoid arthritis better than medication (I was once concerned with arthritis in my hands so I now always add Turmeric to rice, grains and curries).
Most of these are available in supermarkets like Aldi. Or, at Buy Wholefoods Online and Amazon.
Also, while superfood supplements are fine — and better than nothing — aim first to eat the real thing to get the maximum benefits.
