Forget strict diets and confusing labels for a second. The simplest rule for eating well is this: fill most of your plate with food that came from the ground, a tree, or a plant, not a factory.
Think of it as "crowding out" the bad stuff. When you eat more colorful vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins, you naturally have less room and desire for the highly processed junk.
A Simple Swap: Instead of a bag of chips, grab a handful of nuts. Instead of a sugary yogurt, get plain yogurt and add your own berries.
The 80/20 Rule: Aim to make healthy choices 80% of the time. The other 20% is for the pizza, the birthday cake, and the fries. Life is for living, not for perfection. This balance is what makes a diet sustainable forever, not just for a few weeks.
