Healthy Habit #1: Food Planning
Food planning should be foremost among all other eating habits for it reduces the urge to eat unhealthy foods. The fridge should always be stocked with healthy foods in order to avoid the temptation to eat unhealthy. So have a regular shopping schedule that is well planned.

Healthy Habit #2: Preparation and Storage
As you plan to have a variety of healthy foods at your disposal, planning for meal preparation should also come in handy. Develop a routine meal preparation plan that is in line with the stock in your fridge. Storage of both uncooked and cooked food is also essential. Food that is well stored always maintains its nutritional value.

Healthy Habit #3: Mind on Calories
This is a habit that is developed by consistence in knowing the food that you eat. Learn about the nutritional benefits, and the amount of calories the food contains. This will help in making the right choices of foods that are low in calories to avoid excess fat in the body that leads to obesity.

Healthy Habit #4: Don’t Keep Unhealthy Food in Home
You will probably not consume what is not at your disposal. You will also not have a craving for the foods that you do not eat. By having only the healthy foods that you need, you quickly kick off the appetite for junk foods and develop a healthy eating habit both at home and away.

Healthy Habit #5: Only Eat Healthy Portions
Wondering how much is really ‘the healthy portion’? Well, the choice begins by getting the awareness that frequent small meals are the real deal. Research has shown that taking small meals frequently helps in reducing cortisol levels in the body. Besides the cortisol regulation, small meals are good for energy regulation. A 5–6 times consumption of small meals is a good healthy eating habit.
