Living on a healthy diet is easy being said than done. Many women want to do it, but not all of them will go through it successfully.

Some of the limitations of a healthy diet are too much for some people, who just can't seem to control themselves with the choices of food they eat. It's all about motivation and how bad a woman wants to be better at keeping herself healthy.

It does not have to be the kind of diet celebrities present in their fitness videos. A woman just needs to make sure she does the most basic diet habits to start living a healthy lifestyle.

Stay Away From Soda

According to a study published in the journal Heart, a person who drinks sugary soda regularly will have a 23 percent chance of developing a heart disease, Byrdie reported. It appears as well that sodas with "diet" labels are just as dangerous as the regular sweetened beverages.

Never Skip Breakfast

In a report by the Daily Mail, renowned Dietitian Leah Kaufman said that breakfast is the first meal a person consumes after many hours of not eating. When a body does not eat for such a long time, it slows down the metabolism.

Eat Whole Foods

Organic foods have been known to be very healthy. They don't have additives like the food people eat at fast food chains. According to Nutrition MD, whole foods are full of strong nutrients normally found in plan foods -- they are called phytochemicals. It also has more fiber, vitamins and minerals compared to processed foods that protect people from diseases.

Post Workout Food

The body needs to recover after a sweaty workout session at the gym and finding the right food combination is the key. According to Muscle and Fitness, a great dose of glycogen and amino acids is lost when a person goes through a rough training. The best way to replace that is by eating the right carbohydrates and protein. It is also not a bad idea to eat variety of foods every now and then so your body receives different kinds of nutrients that would be enough to recover the lost energy.

Healthy Fats

There are fats that are needed for your body digestions. People should stay away from the notion that, when someone is on a diet, he or she should stay away from fatty foods. Fats that are coming from avocado, coconut oil and raw nuts are said to be very healthy, according to a report by Byrdie.
