With the new year comes a new start where people can strive to become a better version of themselves. Each year, millions (if not billions) of people make New Year's resolutions--a tradition that roots back to the Ancient Babylonians--and the most popular New Year's resolution is losing weight. Unfortunately, according to Forbes, only 8 percent of people who make a resolution actually see their resolution through. If your resolution this year was for a healthier life, then we're here to help. While we can't force you to keep your resolution, we can provide you with some great recipes that can help facilitate a healthy start.

In addition to preparing better meals, some great tips for eating yourself healthy is to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated, chew slowly so that you can pick up on your body's signal that you're full, and opt for whole foods over processed foods. What's more, the age-old advice to plan out your meals and shop accordingly can do wonders for your health, in addition to making sure that you never shop for groceries while hungry--shopping while famished is the perfect setting for splurge purchases.
