Healthy Eating: Lifestyle changes needed?

You’ve tried it all, you haven’t found anything that works, and your doctor says it’s time to go on a diet. What are some good reasons to go on a diet? Your lifestyle could be one of the reasons to eat healthy, or at least start trying.

What is “healthy eating”?

Everyone is different so the definition of "healthy eating" can vary from person to person. You might work a desk job and therefore have a bit more of a sedentary lifestyle. That means you might need a bit less calories per day since you are not burning much at work. On the other hand, you might work construction and burn a lot more calories at work than the average person. You'll need to fuel your body with a higher calorie intake. All of these different scenarios (work/lifestyle, body shape, weight goals) can be set in the Asken Diet app so our dietitians can give you the best advice you need regarding your daily intake.

Track your food intake

You see that muffin over there? It’s looking pretty good right now, but it’s not worth it. You know that feeling when you’re full, but you’re about to eat more? That’s how you’ll feel the whole day. You’re going to feel like you’re in a hole. That’s why you learn what kind of food you are eating and how to make positive lifestyle changes.

Don't start your day without having checked the calorie counter app, as this will help you to stay on track with your diet. There are many out there, but the best one (in our eyes) is the Asken Diet app for iOS (and Android). This app has a variety of different food categories to help you track all different kinds of food throughout the day. You can download the free app here: www.askendiet.com/get
