You want to make a change – but not all at once. What should you do if you are not ready to change your entire diet? This is what one of our licensed dieticians at NordIQ Life thinks.
Are you not quite ready to change your eating habits? Do you want to keep eating the same food?
Start gently by making small smart changes. You continue to eat the same dishes but simply a little smarter, says our dietician.
The dietitian’s list of smart food changes
White pasta – Whole grain pasta but even better bean pasta (also available as lasagna sheets).
White rice – Whole grain rice, brown rice or common wheat, common oats or common grains.
Falukorv – Choose a keyhole marked sausage with a high meat content or try chicken sausage.
Ready-made meatballs – Make your own and avoid additives. It goes faster than you think and gets so much better.
Limb sandwich – Choose coarse Danish rye bread or crisp bread.
Cheese (as a topping) – Turkey or chicken.
Cheese (in food) – Cottage cheese.
Hamburger – Make your own, take half the bread and skip the fries and dressing.
And last but not least: Top with vegetables. If you fill half your plate with vegetables and root vegetables for both lunch and dinner, you are almost there.
Good things to always have at home
Oatmeal (perfect for porridge or in a smoothie)
Eggs (stay fresh long after the best-before date has passed)
Frozen berries
Frozen vegetables
Carrots (can last a long time in the fridge)
Chicken fillet in the freezer
Red lentils (no need to soak)
Crushed tomatoes
Crispbread
Quinoa (quick to cook)
Minced meat (in flat packets in the freezer to thaw quickly)
