Diet Tip of the Day | The Daily Diet Tip

"It's not a short-term diet

it's a long-term lifestyle change."

Let’s face it…lifestyle change is messy. It doesn't matter whether you are trying to lose weight, gain muscle, change your level of fitness, or make another health-related change, creating new daily habits is hard.

The key to success is taking small steps each day to continue to move closer to your goal. There's no need to completely overhaul your eating plan to align with the current diet fad or to invest hundreds of dollars in the newest workout trend. Find something that is appealing and interesting to you and give it a try. If it works, great! If it doesn't chalk it up to experience and experiment with something new.

As a health and fitness writer, I spend my days reading exercise and nutrition research, learning about interesting foods, and trying the latest workout classes and equipment. I stay up to date on industry trends and put much of it to the test in my own life. Check out some of my latest articles and see if some of these tips and tricks might be helpful as you develop your healthy lifestyle routines.
