There are a vast amount of new diets out there contending that their “cutting-edge” nutrition plan will help you to lose weight immediately.

Here are 5 simple to follow tips that will lead you to eat healthier and get slimmer and change .
Eat Healthier Tip #1 – Vegetables First
This is a tip that my grandpa used to tell me to do so that I could get the “gross” veggies out of the way and get done with wrap up dinner with a good taste in my mouth. I recommend this today for two reasons. First, a very practical reason. In case you are full before you are done with your meal, better to have already eaten the healthier fruits and veggies than anything else. And second, the sugars that are in fruits and vegetables break down in digestion much quicker than other foods. It is preferable to eat the fruits and veggies first so they quickly and painlessly make it through the digestive process. If you eat the fruits and veggies later in a meal, they can get caught behind slower digesting foods and cause bloating and gas.

Eat Healthier Tip #3 – Does My Brocolli Match These Mashed Potatos?
I can still hear my mom telling me, “Go in and change your clothes – those don’t match” As a youngster I did not care that I looked funny if my clothes looked funny. I picked a sweatshirt I liked, some pants I liked, and flips I liked and I wore them confidently. I learned recently that food can clash too. There are certain foods that “match” better with others. If you are going to eat a food that has sugar, make sure it’s balanced with fiber to help from spiking your blood sugar and to aide in digestion. Your body needs Vitamin D and “good” fats to make sense of, or unlock the true goodness of several types of vegetables. Often, if you’re going to eat carbs, balance them with protein to make feeling full last longer.
