1. Eat Food You Enjoy
The Best Life Diet works because it includes a wide variety of foods. Candy bars and potato chips are not part of the Best Life Diet, but plenty of healthy and delicious alternatives are available. Unlike other diets that restrict certain food groups, like fat or carbs, the Best Life Diet encourages you to eat from every food group, each day. So go ahead and select recipes that contain foods you already like. This will make sticking to the Best Life Diet that much easier.
2. Consider Convenience Foods
Many people (like working parents) simply do not have the time to cook three full meals a day, 7 days a week. Instead they rely on convenience foods, which are, well, convenient. Unfortunately, many prepackaged foods are laden with extra fat, sodium and calories. To help you stay on the Best Life Diet, even when you are short on time, you can still have convenience foods. You just need to make the right choices. Instead of packaged cookies, opt for precut fresh fruit. Instead of a fast-food burger, make yourself a quick turkey and vegetable wrap. Look for recipes that are easy to pull together in the morning, so you can pack a lunch instead of buying take-out.
3. Experience New Foods
Bob Greene, founder of the Best Life Diet, has put together many different recipes. Some of these feature some exotic or unusual ingredients, such as Wasa crackers and bulgur wheat. Be adventurous and try out some new foods. The worse thing that can happen is that you won't like it and won't have to eat it again. Who knows? You may discover a favorite new dish. Oprah includes several of her favorite recipes as well in the Best Life Diet.
4. Choose Recipes Your Whole Family Will Like
One reason so many diet plans are a pain to follow is that they require special meals for the person on the diet. The Best Life Diet benefits the entire family by adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains into every meal. The recipes listed in "The Best Life Diet" can easily be adapted for two, four or six people. Feeding healthy recipes to your kids will help them appreciate those types of food and encourage lifelong healthy eating habits.
