Here are some effective principles to follow when you’re trying to change your bad eating habits.

Habits can be hard to change because, well, they are habits. Each year, many of us look at changing some of our bad habits, and the best thing I can do to help my clients is to try to help them prioritize—and work on the easiest things first.

Whether you’re looking to change a number of bad habits or only one or two, there are some basic principles to consider when it comes to navigating your way through the behavior change process. So, here are some tips for smoother sailing:

Set your behavior goals and make them reasonable.

Be specific. “I want to get physically fit” or “I will eat better” are too vague. Instead, set a goal of “I will walk 30 minutes a day” or “I will pack my own lunch twice a week.”

Looking for a simple, easy and effective meal plan? The Daily Nutrition Meal Plans , created by Herbalife Nutrition dieticians and physicians, have built-in calorie counts and are designed to provide you with the protein your body needs every day to function at its best. All you need to do is select the plan that fits your needs. Then, create daily menus that include healthy and balanced meals, protein snacks and protein shakes (such as Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1). You can download the whole guide including recipes and meal building guides for free.

Step 1: Meal Plan Selection Tool 

No two people are alike and everyone’s protein and calorie needs vary. So how do you know which meal plan is right for you? Start with the Meal Plan Selection Tool. The charts will help you determine the suggested meal plan for you, and your plan is designed to match your individual needs for protein and calories.

The Meal Plan Selection Tool will guide you to the recommended Meal Plan based on your gender, weight and height. Each Meal Plan has four options (A, B, C and D). Once you know which plan is recommended for you, you’ll go to Step 2 to see your suggested plan.

Step 2: Meal Plans A, B, C and D

Each Daily Nutrition Meal Plan has three options: Weight Maintenance, Weight Loss and Weight Gain. Choose the option within the plan that best suits your personal goals. This Meal Plan chart shows you what a typical day will look like, with recommended meals, snacks and shakes to choose from each day. Meal Plans are created by choosing items from the following categories:

• Balanced Meals (25-40 grams protein, 400-600 calories)
• Protein Snacks (10-30 grams protein, 150-300 calories)
• Shakes (20-30 g protein, 250-300 calories)

Daily Nutrition Meal Plans

Weight Maintenance

When coupled with an appropriate exercise program, this option replaces one meal per day (typically breakfast) with a shake.

Weight Loss

This option promotes weight and fat loss when coupled with an appropriate exercise program and replaces two meals per day (typically lunch and dinner) with a shake.

Weight Gain

Using this option, get more protein and calories by supplementing with up to three additional shakes per day. When coupled with an appropriate exercise program, gain healthy weight (as lean body mass).

Meal Builder Tool

The Meal Builder tool is a simple, step-by-step approach to putting together healthy meals. Meals are made up of foods from five categories: Protein, Vegetables, Beneficial Carbohydrates, Beneficial Fats or Omega 3’s and Seasonings. Depending on your Meal Plan, you will create meals that have either approximately 25 grams of protein and 400 calories, or 40 grams of protein and 600 calories. Using the Meal Builder, you can select the exact foods you need to create your healthy, balanced meals.

First, choose the column that corresponds to the meal you are going to build. Then, select the amounts of food that are listed in each food group and combine items in a variety of ways to create healthy, balanced meals.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Quick Fried Rice with Beef
• Sweet and Sour Lettuce Cradles
• Poached Eggs and Spicy Tomato Sauce

Start Earlier, Age Healthier

Growing old is natural, but ageing in an unhealthy way is not. As we grow older, we may not always pay close attention to take steps towards healthy ageing. Our sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise and unhealthy food choices may affect our health as we age. Over time, we may experience long-term nutrient deficiencies that may affect our:

•    Heart
•    Bones
•    Joints
•    Digestion
•    Vision
•    Immunity

88%* of people surveyed agree to taking healthier steps towards healthy ageing.

82%* of people surveyed agree that 40-50 years old is the right age to start healthy ageing.

84%* of people surveyed feel that making a better nutrition choice is important for healthy ageing.

It is important to adopt a health-enhancing lifestyle earlier that includes a healthy well-balanced diet, regular exercise and ensuring our nutritional gaps are supplemented with the right nutrients. So start earlier and age healthier with Herbalife Nutrition.

Digestive Health
As we grow older, we may become more vulnerable to indigestion and other issues with the digestive system. While having regular exercise and sufficient fluids may help to support our digestive health, it is also of vital importance to have enough fibre and probiotics in our daily diet. Herbalife Nutrition’s digestive health range helps to support healthy digestion.

Heart & Eye Health
Ageing may affect our cardiovascular health. With a lack of regular exercise and a diet of highly processed foods, our heart may not receive the support to stay active and healthy. It is important to keep your cardiovascular system in shape with a healthy diet, active lifestyle and nutritional supplements for your heart.

Healthy Eyesight helps us to appreciate our surroundings but our age may take a toll on our eyesight. Practising good habits and having the right supplement may help support eye health.

Bone health
Our bones naturally lose mineral density as we age – this is especially true for women after menopause. As our bones lose calcium and other minerals, they may become porous and more susceptible to fracture. A daily calcium supplement may help you to maintain healthy bones and teeth.

Joint Health
Age-related factors may contribute to degenerative changes to our joints. It is important to maintain our mobility as part of healthy ageing by taking active steps to support healthy joint function and comfort. Start taking care of your joints with a daily glucosamine supplement.

Immune Support
As we age, our immune response capability becomes reduced, which may contribute to illness and may impede general well-being. Keep your immune system strong and healthy all year round with vitamins that support your body’s natural defences.

Everyday Health
It is important to maintain your everyday health by giving your body the vitamins and minerals it needs. Vitamins are essential for normal growth and development, energy production and protect the body from stress.
