new videos everyday life wisdom most of

us would like to have more energy feel

healthier maybe improve the way that we

look but what are the obstacles standing

in the way of us actually being the

person that we want to be and living the

healthy lifestyle that we want to live

in this video I'm gonna count down my

top 10 simple and realistic

recommendations on how you can begin

improving your diet and improving your

lifestyle so that you can reap all the

benefits of being more healthy so this

first tip is super simple and it just

has to do with your mindset so

oftentimes it's really just human nature

for us to fixate on the things that we

don't have or the things that we can't

do or the things that other people have

and so first step is to focus on

switching your thinking onto the things

that you can do and the things that you

do have and then being proud of yourself

for the accomplishments that you do make

so rather than focusing on well if I had

all the time in the world

I could make healthy food all the time

and I could do this and I could afford a

personal trainer take yourself out of

the if this and what this ideal world is

and focus on what the reality is so

what's something really realistic you

could do make one meal for yourself per

week or just add one new fruit or

vegetable to your diet

Komi

or something like that and I'm gonna get

into those tips later on but this one is

just about focusing on the things that

you can do and not giving yourself

unrealistic expectations that are only

gonna end up speaking you feel

discouraged in the long run so let's get

into the good stuff the first step is

going to be significantly limiting your

intake of fast foods junk foods anything

out of a vending machine we could call

these convenience foods right cuz

they're really convenient and often

times they're really cheap so one way

that you can start to transition out of

eating those foods is just to make the

transition to eating restaurant foods

and this is gonna start helping you

break the habit of meeting the super

convenience because now you're either

gonna have to call in your order so

it'll be ready when you get there or

actually wait for your food to be made

at the restaurant while you're waiting

and of course as we go through this

video I'm gonna give you the steps of

how you then move off of the restaurant

food but this is a really good kind of

stepping stone for somebody who is used

to eating fast food going through the

drive-thru everyday just start making

the transition from that convenience

food to restaurant food and it's gonna

start helping you plan a little bit more

for your meals know that hey I need to

call in my meal about thirty minutes or

whatever before you actually want to go

pick it up and this is a really great

little stepping stone to help you get

off of junk foods and convenience foods

that so many of us rely on as the

primary part of our diet

so the third step is that we want to be

limiting our intake of fried foods

so obviously french fries is maybe the

first thing we think of but it's

important to recognize that potato chips

also qualify as a fried food so the

first place to start is by just kind of

taking an inventory on how many fried

foods are you eating for how many times

a week are you actually eating fried

foods and for some people when they kind

of do this inventory they realize that

they're actually eating fried foods

every single day so the step is to take

the inventory figure out how much you're

eating fried foods and then start to

just kind of slowly wean yourself off

and go down slowly so here's an example

of a really unrealistic expectation for

yourself I'm never gonna eat fried foods

again you're just kind of setting

yourself up to fail but if you can give

yourself something realistic like I'm

going to cut out you know I'm gonna

start by just cutting out one of my

fried foods per week or I'm gonna start

by just having one day per week where I

don't eat any fried foods so you're

giving yourself kind of a ridiculously

simple expectation but you want to build

wins for yourself because the more wins

that you have and the more times that

you feel that you've met your

expectation the more it's gonna kind of

build your momentum and help push you

forward so this is a great place to give

yourself a realistic expectation and

start minimizing the number of times per

week that you're eating fried foods so

the ideal scene is for us to replace

processed foods with natural foods

sometimes people refer to them as Whole

Foods and I have several videos that

talk about the difference between whole

and processed foods so I'm not going to

go into that here but this tip is to

rather than focusing on

eating less processed foods to focus on

eating more whole natural foods so a

great place to start is with the ones

that don't require any cooking at all so

nuts avocados the fruits and vegetables

themselves like apples bananas carrots

celery these are all things that don't

require any cooking or any
