The most common Q I get: "I wana start eating healthier but I don’t know where to start"

So I'll break down a simple step by step process to clean up your diet.

I ate a typical western diet, lots of unhealthy stuff, for 35y and then transitioned to the healthiest diet science can deliver. Anyone can do the same so I’ll try to describe step by step how you can do it if you choose to

a great 1st step is Fruit

why should this be your 1st step? Why not broccoli or cutting sugar or any of the thousands of healthy things you can do?

1, we all know fruit’s healthy but few understand just HOW healthy it really is

a massive analysis of risk factors found that not eating enough fruit was the #1 dietary risk factor for disease. So if we’re going to fix things, why not start there

2, it’s an easy step to take. Fruit is delicious so its not a big ask

3, momentum

the most important thing with any change in habits is not making the change, it’s sticking with it

no point eating super healthy for a week and then falling off the wagon, its meaningless in the long run

never underestimate the power of small changes, they add up and before you know it you’ve made a 180

starting with the small changes builds your confidence. that kind of psychological tool is crucial when it comes to changing habits

Ok which fruit? Whichever you prefer.

ok how much? I recommend 1 serving/day. added to what you currently eat. So adding 1 more. If it’s a big fruit like apple or orange, 1 piece. If its grapes, a handful or a small bowl

you're shooting for a change you maintain daily, not a huge change you drop after a week

What if you already eat a lot of fruit? Chances are you can add one more and still see some health benefit.

pat yourself on the back for taking this 1st step to eating healthier and I’ll see you on the next one
