How to organise a healthy diet

Planning a healthy diet is very important if your goal is to lose weight or even just to keep healthy. The diet provides you with all the nutrients and energy you require on a daily basis. In the beginning you might find planning a healthy meal a real difficult job, but it is worth it in the long run. You can save yourself a lot of energy by planning in advance what you are going to cook the next day. Also this makes it easier to shop ahead and save you time.

Here are some great healthy meal plan tips to help you succeed in your mission and get organized:

1. Build up your store cupboard. 
   
   You need to stock your cupboard and refrigerator with items you can use in several weeks time. Try to keep canned goods, pasta, olives, dried herbes, frozen vegetables, spices, tuna and other fish. All these items are healthy ingredients and allow you to make a quick simple meal that fits easily in your weekly meal plan.
   
2. Collect recipes
   
   Try to collect recipes. There are lots to be found online or in books. Try to find easy recipes that you can make in a short time. This will allow you to enjoy a variety of dishes on a daily basis.
   
3. Packed lunches
   
   Include packed lunches in your plans. Add a list of different sandwich fillings to your menus. Try to vary the lunch and evening meals.
   
4. Vegetables and fruits
   
   Add vegetables in every meal. They are healthy and easy to prepare. Also include fruits in your meal plan. They are important for getting a good amount of fibre, vitamins and minerals that your body requires on a daily basis.
   
   
5. Limit sugar intake
   
   Try to replace sugar with honey. Or just take less sugar in your tea or coffee.
   
6. Skim milk
   
   Skimmed milk is low in fat and provides the same amount of nutrients and calcium as full cream milk does.
   
7. Whole grains
   
   Eating whole grains is important for a healthy diet. Include whole wheat, brown wheat, brown rice, oatmeal, whole grain barley and millet. Avoid food with refined grains such as breads, pastas and breakfast cereals.
   
   
8. Oils
   
   Olive oil is a great alternative as it low in fat and cholesterol.
   
9. Protein
   
   Make sure that your healthy diet plan includes a good amount of protein. Include a variety of poultry, beans, nuts, eggs, fish, peas and seeds.
