Eating healthy is simple and easy if you are ready to follow the few steps below.
The recommended volume of water for an adult is at least 2 litres of water daily. Drinking water doesn’t have to be boring, you can spice it up with lemon and mint leaves if you like.
Drinking water before you eat fills your stomach, helps digestion and prevents you from overeating.
2. Ditch fried foods for baked, grilled, steamed, or fresh. It is advisable to cook with extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil instead of palm oil or vegetable oil.
3. Swap your big plates for smaller ones.
Eating with smaller plates helps you to control the volume of the food you eat per time. Portion control is your friend in this journey.
4. Reduce your carbohydrates and fatty foods , eat more of proteins, vegetables and fruits. There are so many fun ways of cooking vegetables, look up the internet and learn to eat fresh.
5. Consciously avoid artificial sugar.
Sugar is a silent killer and it is hidden in most foods and drinks we have daily.
One good way to do this is to stop taking soft drinks even the zero sugar ones still have sugar.
Also read the labels of food and drinks you want to buy as producers are mandated to disclose the sugar contents of their products.
You can use pure honey in small quantity as a substitute for sugar if you are sure of the source as there are lots of noney out there made from sugar or with high artificial sugar content.
Healthy eating is a journey which demands consistency and dedication in order to get results.

I just want to dedicate today to my gym clothes and a few of the handy equipment i use regularly.
They accepted me and my weight and never for one day said i was too fat to be their friends.
Whatever kilogram of weight i have lost, i owe it to these guys and my diet so i just want to say thank you all.
If only they could hear me, they will know that i am really grateful.
You can start your weight loss journey with just a few things, it doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective and trust me i still don’t have that expensive watch that counts calories.
Weight loss and healthy living is a journey, it starts by the first step and decision to do something about your undesired weight and body shape.
Do something about it today.
I love you all.
Healthy living is a journey and work in progress.
There is a Chinese proverb which says ” The journey of a thousand miles, starts with the first step”. There is also a popular saying by those who play Lotto ” You have got to be in it, to be a winner.”
You can’t live healthy just by wishing it, you have to do something about that your undesired weight , body shape or lifestyle.
Here are the 5 things based on my personal experience which will help you;
I once read this quote somewhere ” You can’t shave a man’s head behind him”. This simply means you need to convince yourself and make up your mind that you need a healthy lifestyle. Without you being convinced, nobody in this world can help you even if you are forced to do a weight loss surgery, you can still eat your way back to obesity.
2. Commitment.
You need to be committed to your healthy living goals and stay true to your self. This starts from your grocery shopping, to your cooking style, to your eating habits and creating time to exercise either at home or at a gymnasium.
3. Consistency.
Practice makes perfect.
For you to see visible results in your body or health, you must be consistent in your healthy eating and exercises.
You can’t go to the gym in one day and expect to lose 10 kg or get a flat tummy in a jiffy.
You must be consistent to achieve your goals.
4. Determination.
You must be determined to surmount all obstacles that come your way in your healthy living journey.
There will be days you will not feel like going to a gym at all but you still have to find a way of doing a few exercises at home.
Don’t expect everyone around you to support you either, remember it is all about you. So when people around you opt for deep-fried and large quantity of food, you have to be determined to go for grilled, baked or steamed and low-calorie which may not be popular or as sweet as what others are having.
5. Information and Accountability
Information is key to being successful in life. There are loads of resources out there on the internet and around you to help you in your healthy living journey. You need to be able to sieve through what works or not.
It is advisable that you consult a doctor and a dietitian before you start your healthy living journey. They will help you determine what you need to do or eat to achieve your goals.
You need to find someone you will be accountable to in journey to achieving your goals. this may be your partner, family member or a gym buddie, this should be someone who shares your vision,not a hater who will end up discouraging you.
For me, my wife fell naturally into this role, she is always encouraging me and always on my neck when i am derailing and i can hear her saying “You can’t lose weight with that biscuit in your hand.”
Above all, remember it is all about you , so stay true to yourself.
Oladapo is currently on a healthy living journey of discoveries and will be sharing his successes and failures with you on this blog as he progresses.
