One of the biggest challenges many of us face with healthy eating is that we don’t even know where to start.

I remember when I first made the transition to a minimally processed diet (healthy diet) I was overwhelmed by the amount of information out there.

From Whole30 to the Mediterranean it felt like I needed a PhD just to figure out what to put on my plate.

While I certainly don’t feel so overwhelmed today, I’ve come to realize that the challenge many people face is knowing how to properly nourish their bodies.

Due to many of us being overfed and undernourished, all too often we depend on supplements when we should instead focus on meeting our daily nutritional requirements through real, whole minimally processed foods.

But, many of us simply don’t know how.

Healthy eating is hard. At least, that’s what I initially thought when I first started making the transition to a healthy diet.

Between a pretty hectic work schedule to my complete lack of cooking skills, the idea of getting started with a healthy diet felt like I was on an upward battle.

Which means that foods that tend to be bitter or sour generally deter us from eating them based on the potential of accidentally ingesting a toxic substance. Whereas, foods that tend to be sweet and salty encourage us to eat them based on our need for carbohydrates, amino acids, and sodium.

You know, the things we require for survival.

However, when these sweet and salty foods tend to be highly-processed, they don’t maintain their nutritional value. Which means,...

As a recovering disordered eating, I know firsthand that unhealthy fitness habits are hard to break.

From counting every single calorie that I ate to working out two hours a day in the gym, I have made more than a few questionable choices to maintain the ideal body weight.

Even though I packed away the scale long ago and now spend less than 30 minutes a day exercising there are still some habits that remain from my disordered eating days.

That’s why as the new year's kicks off with hundreds of people flooding your inbox and social media with promises of fast weight loss, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to share 6 unhealthy fitness habits that it’s time we ditch in 2019.

6 Unhealthy Fitness Hits It’s Time We Ditch in 2019
