There are plenty of ways to tell if you have an unhealthy diet. But how do you ultimately discern if yours is healthy or not? According to Everyday Health, here are the seven signs you have a healthy diet:
  • You don't skip meals. This is a big no-no -- especially if it's breakfast!
  • You eat lots of fibre, found in beans, fruits, veggies and whole grains
  • You choose meats that are leaner -- like chicken, fish and turkey -- and you don't eat the skin.
  • You get your RDI of calcium and vitamin D every single day, either by eating low-fat dairy or taking supplements
  • You eat foods that are fortified with vitamin B12
  • You choose healthy snacks like nuts, dried fruit and low-fat cheese over chips, cookies and other junk foods.
  • You drink lots of water -- 64oz a day to be exact.
So, is your diet a healthy one? Why or why not?
