Don't give up on your #NEWYEARSRESOLUTIONS

​This is the time of the year most New Years Resolutions go out the window, but remember, you made the change for a reason, maybe you’re just making it harder than it needs to be.
 
If your diet was the resolution you made here are 10 tips to help you simplify your life so you can keep the change going
 

1. What you buy is what you eat!  Buy mainly wholefoods, foods that do not have a ingredients label.  I love shops like The Habit Store here in Castlebar for my Grains, nuts and spices
2. Batch cook – if cooking and preparing food every evening is feeling like too much, then batch cook your favourites and freeze portions to reheat in the oven when you need a night off
3. Make the old favourites – I am always adding recipes to my Pinterest page,  healthy fakeaways, adapting recipes to be more healthy.  You can make a shepherd’s pie more healthy by adding more vegetables, lentils, topping with sweet potato and it still feels like your comfort food
4. Educate yourself –your diet is not just about how you look or loosing weight, but it plays an integral role in your health, energy, sleep, brain function.  Make it important.
5. Get inspired – try out some recipes, I love Darina Allen for no nonsense cooking that works (maybe reduce the butter and cream though).

Websites like BBC good food, Taste, Pinterest.  
Social media – Instagram, tiktok, facebook 
Recipe swap with friends and family.

1. Plan – Failing to plan is planning to fail, just saying!
2. Drink your H2O – Don’t confuse thirst with hunger
3. Experiment – keep things interesting, knowing you are not going to love everything
4. Fill the fridge – pack your fridge with healthy and tasty options.  Don’t fill it with foods you won’t eat. 
5. Have fun – if you make it too strict, you’ll set yourself up to fail.  Remember its’ what you do on a regular basis that will have any effect (good or bad).
