Welcome back to Healthy Habits with Adale—your weekly dose of simple, impactful tips to help you stay on track with your health, weight loss, and accountability goals.
This week’s Healthy Habit is about getting back to the basics:
Choose One-Ingredient Foods Over Processed Ones 🥦🍗 The fewer ingredients, the better!
One of the easiest ways to improve your health and support your weight loss journey is to eat more foods that are as close to their natural state as possible.
Why It Works:
Whole foods are more nutrient-dense, keep you fuller longer, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. In contrast, highly processed foods are often packed with added sugars, unhealthy fats, and excess sodium.
A 2019 study published in Cell Metabolism found that participants who ate ultra-processed foods consumed an average of 500 more calories per day compared to when they ate unprocessed, whole foods—even when both diets were matched for nutrients!
Try it this week:
Start by swapping one processed item with a whole food.
For example, trade granola bars for a boiled egg and fruit, or skip the packaged pasta sauce for crushed tomatoes and herbs. 🍅🌿
Pro Tip:
Stick to foods that don’t need a label—think veggies, fruits, lean meats, eggs, legumes, and whole grains. 🛒🥚
Let me know what swaps you’re making this week! 💡🔥
See you next Friday for more simple, sustainable habits to support your health and weight loss journey.
Let’s keep building those healthy habits together!
Happy Friday, everyone! 🌟
