Eat a Nutritious Meal at These Healthy Chicago Restaurants

It’s National Nutrition Month in the United States and we’re going to take a wild guess that your New Year’s Resolutions to start that keto diet isn’t going super well. Believe me, we know how hard it is to stay motivated. So here’s the perfect refresher to get you back on track.

Thought it may be controversial to admit, health is a relative concept. What’s right for one person may not be in the diet for another, and it’s up to you to define your own health journey and tweak it as you please. Don’t let anyone tell you that your body type isn’t healthy and that you should conform to their food list; instead, focus on the ways you can be happy with what you see in the mirror, whatever that may entail. Make sure to include all of the necessary food groups in your day-to-day and don’t forget to have fun with it. Food is delicious! Why would anyone want to make it a chore?
