Since I have studied Nutrition, I became more interested in what I was eating and therefore started experimenting with different foods and flavours.
Working in hospitality has also helped me discover new flavours and try out cooking using different items and increasing my palate.
To start working towards a balanced diet, you need to increase your taste buds, so that you can eat and enjoy eating a variety of foods.
I started by introducing different vegetables and swapping different proteins and carbohydrates, to ensure you have constant change in your diet. The more variety you have in your diet, the more you will like different flavours and are willing to experiment more.
It does take discipline and hard work to progress into regularly eating a variety of nutritious foods, without reverting back to old habits.
Once you have started doing that, you will find it a lot easier to cook, avoiding or minimising intolerances.
