Losing weight is a popular new year’s resolution and one of the easiest ways to achieve this goal is with simple tweaks to your favorite meals. To help banish that bulge in 2014, below are a few smart (yet simple) meal choices to make in the new year.
- Eat More Fish: Filled with omega-3s and high in protein, fish such as salmon make for a healthy meal choice, especially when compared to other proteins such as beef or pork. Numerous new products on the market feature salmon as the star of the show as well with everything from burgers to bacon available as a salmon alternative.
- When in Doubt Choose Whole Grains: You don’t have to cut carbs entirely. Opting for whole grains instead of products made from white flour will save calories where it counts. Plus, whole grains have more fiber and vitamins to jump-start your metabolism.
- Skip the Soda: Even diet soda can cause drinkers to pack on the pounds so avoid all types of soda pop! To cure a carbonation craving, flavored mineral waters can offer a tasty fix.
- An Apple a Day… Literally: Fruits are your friend! Not only are they are loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients, fruit also makes an easy and healthy snack. Whether you prefer apples or oranges (or another piece of produce), adding more fruit to your diet has multiple health benefits.
- Cut Out Trans Fat: Drop trans fats from your diet completely! A leading contributor to heart disease, trans fats are typically traced to processed and pre-packaged snacks. Be sure to carefully read labels to ensure your items are trans fat free.
