Some people are already at their proper weight and have an exercise program in place and just want to eat healthier. But every time I see a question about healthy eating folks automatically send in diet and exercise tips or website instead of the answer.
To those of you who actually READ the question Thank you so much.
Because some people don’t read the question, and some people want to show off there big brain. It Bugs me too.
WOW! I Think they are spammers too. That is bogus. I did’nt know that until just now. Christine is on it.
I’m 6’0", weighing in at around 190 lbs. I’d like to shed off a couple of more pounds to look thinner, and I’m concerned that if I don’t, then my health will be affected. I’m not fat, but I’m just a little chubby and I’d like to lose that weight. I’ve decided to go on a healthy diet (I’ve stopped drinking sodas), but I don’t know any good healthy foods or eating habits. What are some good healthy snacks that I could munch on that wouldn’t affect my weight, and what are some good ways that I could shed off these extra pounds?
The best thing you could do is not eat as many calories, as you do on a normal day, but dont starve yourself. Be sure to eat protiens to. Also a proven fact is that diet pops make you gain weight instead of loose weight.
GLAD I COULD HELP =)
I have 2 toddlers and a husband and we started eating organic and whole foods about a year ago. This year we still seemed to get the stomach virus, but no one has thrown up at all. It just seems the stomach virus has been much much milder. Has anyone else experienced this? Could our healthy eating really be holding back the stomach virus?
I think you are lucky.
Eating a good mixed diet, good Hygiene and not getting stressed are two things that contribute to good health and resistance to disease.
Preparing your own meals with good ingredients certainly helps but good food doesn’t have to be organic. The jury is still out on that one.
I hope you continue to resist all viruses that lurk around.
im 15 weeks pregnant, i was doing so good on making sure i was eating healthy but as soon as i hit week14 i started eating like an out of control 1000 pound women. grilled chicken and veggies no longer sound good. i have been eating corn dogs and cup cakes. how do i get back to my healthy eating when it doesnt sound good at all? i still crave fruit but thats the only healthy thing i’ve been eating. its really important to me to eat healthy and i was a little overweight before getting pregnant so i want to keep my weight gain under control.
How about yogurt? Fruit was my major craving (they said that was a sign it would be a girl but they were WRONG!), so I found ways to work fruit into every meal. Yogurt and fruit, cereal and fruit, chicken with fresh pineapple, salads with fruit, fruit salads…it must have worked, because I only gained 25 lbs total, and I was a bit overweight to begin with, so I lost it all and then some when I gave birth. Another thing you might try is eat your fruit first, and wait a bit. If you’re still hungry, THEN have that corn dog.
Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy.
Fast food restaurants are everywhere. If you’re low on money and hungry, you have plenty of unhealthy options and you don’t even have to get out of your car. But if you want to eat healthy, it takes much more effort. Does anyone have a good tip about how to make a healthy eating routine easier to accomplish?
The problem with fast food restaurants for the most part is even the "healthier" choices aren’t that good. McDonalds uses Iceberg lettuce, the cheapest and lest beneficial kind.
On the road, try to find a Subway or Mr. Sub. A more economical choice (an healthier) is to keep a stock of healthy foods in your car or purse. Try keeping ready-to-eat cans of tuna, granola bars or even a box of cereal in your car.
For at home, it’s more than just what you eat, it’s how you prepare what you eat. Don’t fry your chicken, grill it. Buy lean cuts of meat, and eat less pork. Avoid bacon, but subsitute for chicken or turkey bacon. A great thing is grapeseed oil. It’s cheaper, healthier and better tasting than your regular olive oil.
The most important thing is to be motivated. Set a goal, write it down, put it on a post-it note on your fridge, and stick to it. Find your incentive and think about it before you eat. Lastly, always eat breakfast even if it’s a small one. It will boost your metabolism, as skipping breakfast for a year can result in more than 10 pounds of weight gain.
But i need some advice. I am not starting until the summer holidays as i have a lot of revision ahead of me. I am 16, so exams this year. So in summer i want to start healthy eating and an exercise regime, how can i do so. What exercises can i do to add variety and what are so healthy food swaps?
Got a link here for ya that is absolutely free. Has a ton of different types of workouts to choose from and advice on eating. Whether your goal is building muscle, losing flab or just getting generally fit the answers are here. Easier to send you here and let ya look around than to try and explain it all for you. Because while you have gotten a couple decent answers here so far, you WILL have more questions. Fitness can get really involved and the more you educate yourself the better it will be.

I’m going on a trip this summer for 3 weeks out east (I’m from BC) and I’ve recently started doing an hour of cardio everyday, as well it eating healthy. But I’m afraid this trip will mess everything up. Unfortunately, there won’t be much cardio machines, we will be eating out a lot. Can you please give me any suggestions on how to keep my exercise and healthy eating going throughout this trip?
Drink a lot of water. Order relatively healthy foods, like salads. Walk around, visit places to keep yourself busy/active, get involved in activities and the likes of. If you are determined and it is important to you set aside some time to run or do other exercises which do not require machines.
Okay so for my sociology class our task is to be an advocate for change in a social behavior or attitude.
I noticed that children have bad diets because they are always eating junk food and the parents bring home fast food often and/or go out to eat.
The thing i am trying to prove is that we can change these habits by promoting healthy eating at a younger age. HOWWWW???????
PLEASE BE SPECIFIC.
Explain the importance of healthy eating. Gradually make changes. Allow them to have noodles and other such stuff but change the way.
One thing has to be noted. If you want your children to stay healthy, you must only cook food that nourishes your child completely.
Maggie/ noodles are the skipper of all foods when it comes to some of the children. Do not worry. Serve them with hot piping noodles but don’t forget to add finely chopped/grated vegetables that you can think of.
As an alternative, add all fruits finely chopped and sliced that one can think of or as per your child’s liking. These additions not only make the noodles tasty and healthy but more presentable.

As of tomorow i want to start eating really healthily and avoid snacking on bad things like crisps and chocolate. Id also like to loose a few pounds.Do you have any tips on eating healthy?
Try calorie shifting, the idea behind the diet is to instead of avoiding food, embrace it and use it to your benefit to improve your metabolism. This way you’ll actually continue to burn fat even once you stop the diet.
The major problem with all diets that limit your calorie intake is that they as a result weaken and lower the effect of your metabolism on the foods you eat and actually make your body much more prone to storing calories as a result. Much like when an animal goes into hibernation, your body will go into scarcity mode and begin holding onto anything it can.
That’s the main reason that people experience rebound effects from diets. Calorie shifting actually does it right because it changes the way your body utilizes food and as a result you lose weight and keep it off when you stop.
I’ll throw in a link to a popular calorie shifting diet program in my source box for you to learn more about it.
