You may want to change your diet but aren't quite ready to make a big shift yet? Start by simply adjusting the timing and order of your meals instead!

• Shift Your Meal Times
  Start breakfast 12 hours after dinner. Have lunch between 12:00 and 14:00, and wrap up with dinner between 18:00 and 20:00. Giving your body time to digest between meals can make a difference in energy levels and digestion.

• Order Matters: Eat Smart in Every Meal
  Ease into dietary changes with simple order adjustments:

  1. Fiber First: Begin each meal with fiber-rich veggies.
  2. Add Healthy Fats: Include nourishing fats, like avocado, grass-fed butter, and quality oils.
  3. Then Protein: Follow up with a protein source, whether eggs, meat, or plant-based options.
  4. Keep Sugar Last: If you’re including sugars, save them for the end and keep portions small.

• Ditch the Snacks
  Aim for three balanced meals a day, or even two if you're trying intermittent fasting, instead of snacking. If you must, go for healthy snacks (eg. carrot, cucumber or celery sticks are good options).

• Skip Processed Foods
  Avoid pre-packaged foods whenever possible, or be diligent about reading labels. Especially avoid deep-fried items in restaurants, as they’re often cooked in low-quality oils repeatedly heated to high temperatures.

• Stay Hydrated
  Hydration is essential, though it’s easy to overlook. Try keeping a (glass-not plastic!) water bottle by your side to track your progress towards a daily goal of 2 liters. Though quality over quantity is true for water too, so make sure you are drinking clean water and enough electrolytes.

Starting with these manageable changes can help you build healthier habits without overhauling your diet all at once. Give them a try and see the difference!
