As most of us already know, some people have a metabolism that simply cannot get used to cold and flu season. This is often expressed as lethargy and a feeling of not wanting to get out of bed. Now, let’s look at what foods you should be adding to your diet.

The first thing you should do, given your current level of activity, is begin adding the foods you should be eating as part of your diet during the winter season. This includes:

1) Vegetables
2) Dried Fruits
3) Fish
4) Dairy products
5) Healthy proteins (eggs and meat)
6) Healthy oils (avocado and walnuts)
7) Nuts

8) Seeds and nuts

As a good diet should include a mix of the healthy and the unhealthy, you should also include the unhealthy proteins, seeds and nuts, dairy products and the vegetables. Of course, as you get used to taking in more of these foods, you will start to enjoy these foods more. At this point, you will start to notice a difference.

Now, let’s look at some ways you can use to speed up the process of having these foods in your diet. The first is to consume them in the mornings. Cold and flu season is a great time to eat the protein, fish and egg white products as these are quick and easy to prepare. To speed things up even more, try taking the fish and eggs in a bowl with a spoon and add a few berries or a few nuts and you’ve got yourself a very tasty and healthy breakfast. Then, as the days get shorter, make a smoothie with a few frozen berries and some greens and add some protein powder or other protein. Try taking frozen chicken breasts and adding frozen fruit and a little yogurt. This is a great meal. As you are eating a lot of vegetables, your body won’t have as much to break down during the day. As a result, you will feel fuller for longer.

Of course, like everything in life, eating healthy shouldn’t come without its consequences. At this point, the consequences can include things like bloating, a drier complexion, and a higher resting pulse. At first, the side effects will seem worse than the disease. This is a sure sign you’ve gone overboard. The most essential part of this whole thing is to begin slowly. It is also a good idea to take a break from one or two meals and eat one or two big meals, rather than eating too many small ones. Take this time to work on your diet, and you’ll notice a change in your symptoms almost immediately. To make a diet change, just start by eating more fish, chicken, eggs, fish oil, seeds and nuts, and other healthy foods every day. You can find plenty of healthy recipes online or you can do this one of two ways.

One way is to create a diet just for you. You can create a meal plan for the week using one of the many meal-planning software programs available on the web or from your computer. If you want a slightly easier way of doing it, download a meal planner for your computer and choose your meals beforehand and print them out. You can also create your own meals using ingredients you have on hand and the meal planner will guide you through the choices you have to make.

Another way of making a diet change is to make some changes to your eating schedule. Many times, our eating habits are just automatic. For example, many of us think that if we are tired we’ll have a snack. Make some small changes in your schedule. In the morning, rather than choosing a snack, grab some fruit and juice to sip as you walk to the refrigerator. This way, your body won’t have enough of the source you are trying to replace it with. You can also add more fruit in your diet. Many nuts, walnuts, and other nuts are also sources of protein. In the evening, rather than grabbing a snack, grab some popcorn and watch a movie. Many studies show that watching a movie with a snack significantly reduces your calorie intake.

Make the changes in your life needed to start supporting your weight goals. If you have made a commitment to yourself to reduce your weight, you owe it to yourself to keep up the work. Keep in mind that your results may come quickly, but if you stop changing, your weight loss will stop, too. Find new habits that you can stick to and you will eventually reach your goal.
