If you’re like most people in the western world you probably need to start eating a lot more fruit and veg every day. There are some people who will find this easy to accomplish, but the majority of people are still finding it really difficult to do. Just remember to take this lifestyle change one small bite at a time, you can find hundreds of small changes to make every day, and these small changes add up over time. A good place to start is replacing your high carb foods like potato’s, rice and pastas with healthy servings of fruits and veg. I haven’t noticed many places which don’t provide servings of fruit or veg so it doesn’t have to be hard even if you’re eating out.

You can even make changes to your diet at your local deli, you can turn that big unhealthy sandwich into a snack your whole body will enjoy by trying this… Order extra veg and meat and replace it for the mayo and cheese. You can ask for extra vinegar and olice oil if you find it too dry without the mayo. Replace the junk food snacks with a serving of fruit too.

If you want six pack abs it’s important to eat as much fruit and veg as you can as it helps keep your body fat percentage low, the perfect abs work out at home can be found here.

The easiest way to get more veg into your daily diet is to replace one big meal per day with a nice fresh salad. Just think how many different salads you could make with all the different vegetables there are in the supermarket, get creative! Since salads are uncooked foods they have ten fold the amount of useful nutrients for your body than cooked food has. Just one salad a day can give you more goodness than four cooked meals!

You’ll find it even faster and easier if you prepare the whole thing the night before and store it in the fridge in a air tight container. This will save you a lot of time and money, if you find yourself in a rush you won’t have to run into the closest fast food place to grab a bite to eat, instead just visit your fridge. I also always make sure I have a selection of fresh fruits available so I can grab a healthy snack if I’m peckish throughout the day.

Last but not least – if you’re honestly that pressed for time that you can manage to make your own salads try grabbing one from the store, although they aren’t my first option I sometimes have to settle for this if I’m in a mad rush.
