Making the change to eat healthier is really challenging and life-changing and it’s even harder when you’re the only one doing it. It’s not for everyone and if your partner isn’t along for the journey, finding ways to keep to a healthy lifestyle can cause issues in your relationship. But it doesn’t have to cause a strain and with these tips, you can please everyone.

Make Smart Swaps

When cooking, substitute ingredients that have empty calories with ones that are loaded with nutrients. This can include using low-fat dairy instead of full-fat or replacing red meat with lean protein.

Add More Produce

Get more fresh produce in your diet by adding more vegetables to dishes or having an extra serving of veggies on the side. Also, have a piece of fruit for dessert.

Choose Lean Protein

You don’t have to completely get rid of burgers and meatballs and spaghetti, from your diet. Just make them healthier by using poultry or plant-based options.

Adjust the Cooking Technique

Frying isn’t the only way to make things crispy. Invest in an air fryer, which doesn’t need oil, for a fried taste without the fat from oil.
