Easting a healthy and balanced diet is challenging because it requires a lot of time, patience, and most of all, knowledge. There are many mistakes people make when trying to follow a healthy eating plan, and here are some of the most common to avoid.

Portion control is the most important thing for maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. That means that we should control our portions even when eating foods that are considered very healthy such as veggies and fruits because even those nutritious foods still contain calories and sugar.

People tend to forget that most drinks that we consume on a daily basis also contain a lot of calories, more so than we could imagine. Therefore we shouldn’t overlook all those smoothies, juices, or even sugar that we put in our coffee in case we’re trying to cut down calories and sugar.
