13Eat for health, not weight loss

In case you didn't figure out by now, these eating habits should be something that you should stick to, in other words, they are not, by any means, meant for just a short period. They do not promise quick results. Instead, it's about changing the way you perceive food, meaning that health should be your number one priority, not weight loss, a goal that certainly takes time to achieve.

14Prepare your snacks

When hunger strikes, you don't really have a choice but to eat whatever is just in front of you. So to make sure you stay true to your decision to live a healthy lifestyle, prepare some healthy snacks in advance. Bananas, almonds, walnuts, or even an apple are just some of the foods you should consider while preparing yourself a healthy snack for later in the day.

Last but not least, you should seriously consider including avocados in your diet. Because they are full of good, monosaturated fat, which helps you to lower your cholesterol levels and also decreases the risk of a stroke or heart disease.
