Expert Q&A for How to Plan a Healthy Diet

So, first of all, don't skip breakfast. Eat at least 3 meals. It's also okay to eat smaller meals more frequently if you prefer. Get plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and some lean proteins. Stay away from unhealthy fats (a little healthy fat is okay). It isn't rocket science!

You can take a supplement if you really want to make sure you get enough of it. It's found naturally in fish, walnuts, and seeds. There's a small bit of it found in grass-fed beef as well.

The paleo diet is good because it focuses on quality and emphasizes vegetables. In that sense, I'd say it's safe and healthy. I don't think cutting out certain foods, like beans, lentils, dairy, and grains, is necessarily something you really need to do. But in general, it's not a bad place to be diet-wise.

There are a lot of paleo swaps you can try, like baking brownies and cookies with almond flour, eating avocado fries instead of french fries, and processing cauliflower into rice and using it instead of white or brown rice. You can also spiralize vegetables into noodles and use those instead of processed pasta.
