There are a few simple basic tips on eating healthier, and sometimes it starts with ignoring bad advice. If someone tries to guilt you into eating healthier, that's usually the best sign you should ignore them.
Too many people look at one part of the label in order to determine whether or not something is healthy. Any particular item needs to be looked at in context of the overall diet; an item that looks unhealthy by itself can actually be healthy when the entire diet is looked at. Eating chips that are high in sodium may look bad, but if the person doesn't gain sodium from any other source they can actually work as the body does need a certain amount of sodium.
Too many people ignore the concept that diet needs to be managed rather than controlled. You may need certain nutrients that a controlled diet doesn't supply; if you worry about ignoring your plan more than getting the right nutrients you're actually going to end up sicker than you want to be.
You need a certain amount of calories in order to function. Keep in mind that he average person needs a lot more calories than most diets allow, making them unhealthy for most people, and leads to feeling tired all of the time as well as apathy. So don't avoid calories unless directed by a doctor.
If you are getting most of your vitamins through pills and supplements, you are likely doing something wrong. Take a hard look at your diet and adjust so as to gain more vitamins through food and not pills.
