How to Embrace Healthy Eating in 2019

I weighed in on this piece about healthy eating in 2019 for GQ!

We all have late-night vices, some of which come in brightly-covered bags and leave a fine, delicious dust. (Here’s lookin’ at you, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos). Before you open another bag, though, read the nutrition label and get a better idea of what’s in those packaged goods. Although these heavily-processed foods can be convenient, they often include large amounts of sugar, fat, and sodium.

Fortunately, the healthy eating fix needn’t be as traumatic as you think. “Rather than changing everything, choose one or two heavily-processed items and swap them out for a more minimally-processed option,” says Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN, a New York-based dietitian. Something as simple as making the switch from conventional nut butter to nut butters that have no added fats or sugars can make a big difference.
