Taking control of your health is one of the most common goals going into the New Year and even more crucial since the COVID-19 pandemic struck. In doing so, it’s important to set realistic milestones to help you stay on track, starting with your diet. Check out our simple tips below to help you stick to your New Year’s Resolutions while eating healthy in North Florida.

Be realistic

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of a fresh start when creating New Year’s Resolutions, but mapping out short-term and long-term goals will ultimately help you achieve the most success. For example, when setting up your dietary goals, start by eliminating one unhealthy habit at a time. If you always order your shrimp fried, try swapping it for grilled instead. Or if candy is your weakness, try eating a piece of fruit to satisfy your sugar cravings. Over time, you can commit to your longer-term goals after accomplishing the small ones.

Outline Your Plan

Planning out your New Year’s Resolution before the clock strikes twelve will give you a leg up in terms of accomplishing your goals, but will also allow you to refine them in advance. For example, if your main objective is to create new, healthy eating habits, decide which days are best for you to do your grocery shopping and meal prep. Setting up an exact plan for how you’re going to accomplish your intentions will help hold you accountable.

Track Your Progress

Speaking of accountability, in order to do so successfully, you need to learn how to track your progress. Tracking your progress is one of the most important factors to self-motivation and changing your habits. A proven method of progress tracking is keeping a journal. Whether that be electronically or in an old-fashioned journal, writing our your meals or whathaveyou will allow you to see at a birds-eye view, where you stand and you can then adjust from there.

Eat Healthy at Timoti’s

Here at Timoti’s, we want to help you reach your New Year’s Resolutions by eating fresh, sustainable foods such as wild-caught seafood. Below are three ways you can improve your diet with healthy options.

Go Meatless

Completely eliminating all meats from your diet may be an extremely hard task to do but starting small can make a big difference. For example, if you and your family eat meat five days a week, try limiting that to two, and opt for other protein-dense options such as wild-caught seafood.

Seafood dishes offered at Timoti’s such as snapper and salmon are packed with beneficial nutrients and great flavor. For a healthy serving of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, try the wild-caught salmon, which also aids in improving heart health and reducing blood pressure. For healthy fats, easy digestion, and cognitive brainpower, try our snapper. Packed with vitamins such as selenium, Omega’s 3,  and potassium.

Try Vegetarian or Vegan-friendly options

Not a fan of seafood? We got you covered. At Timoti’s we have plenty of tasty vegan options for lunch and dinner. Tofu is a popular vegan-friendly menu item with lots of health benefits and can be cooked and served to your liking. Add our tofu with fresh greens and veggies and finish it off as a delicious wrap, taco or box. Our vegan options at T’s can be accessed here.
