Zen Habits for Eating Healthier

Over the past week and a half Zen Habits has crept onto my list of favorite sites - and for good reason. The site is chock-full of great tips and ideas on everything from health to finances.

In a recent post about eating healthier Zen Habits offered up four tips for developing a healthy lifestyle. One of the posts major points is to try making a lifestyle change rather than "going on a diet."

Winter always has affects my eating habits in a bad way - when lent roles around I find the drive I need to get myself eating better again. Of the four tips offered up by Zen Habits I'm happy to say I've already adopted three (for lent I gave up meat altogether so I guess I one-upped one of them.)

One tip I'd like to include goes along with Zen Habit's forth one. If you choose to cut back on sweets immediately swap in fruits to get your sugar fix. After a couple days you can swap in sugar free treats and you'll be able to satiate your sweet tooth. Keep the fruit for your snack and the sugar free stuff for desert.
