Healthy Eating Means Eating Foods You Like in Moderation

If you’re trying to lose weight or just to eat a healthful diet, you realize you cannot eat cookies and cake and potato chips and all that good stuff every day. But here’s some good news for you – you don’t have to give up the things you love forever! You can eat what you like, only in moderation.

Eating treats in moderation helps eliminate those cravings that we otherwise try to ignore but inevitably end of giving in to. And when we give in, we often binge on the “forbidden” item. Instead of telling yourself an item is forbidden, tell yourself that you choose to eat that item, but only in moderation.

Eating something in moderation means eating it in small amounts. It also means not eating it every day. Now, if you have a real sweet tooth or just love potato chips, the idea of eating them in …

The Way to Good Health by Eating the Right Foods

Growing up in a home where a family wants to do the right things is not always easy. There are so many issues and obstacles around waiting to trip you up from your course. There is the matter of price, availability, and accessible location of the foods you need to keep in good health. People also contribute to the dilemma by putting you in situations where you do not want to be rude as if the food isn’t good, and end up letting curiosity take the best of you.

The after effects of such a splurge following so many years of abuse can lead to serious health problems that will require better judgment for the rest of your life. Needless to say, it is no picnic to feel sluggish, constipated, nauseous, and just not up to all the tasks in the day. I will share with you what my family …

Everyone loves to eat out sometimes. There is always those days when you don’t feel like cooking or you’re in a hurry and need a fast meal.

Make subtle dietary changes

Suddenly announcing that there will be no more cupcakes, candy and fried foods will certainly go over like a lead balloon in your home.

Instead of sugary fruit juices and soft drinks, try substituting with flavored water or sugar-free drink mixes. (Think Crystal Light).

Eating Healthy Foods on a Budget

We are now living in a new age, our old habit of eating poor food is dying fast. We need to examine new approaches to become more positive, healthy and if we can have it be more economical so be it.

Consider a Food Co-op for Healthy Eating for Less

The cost of fruits and vegetables seems to increase with each warning that we in America don’t eat enough of them. Going to the grocery store can be a headache when you start adding up the prices and have to pick barely enough to make it through a week – do you choose the healthy fruits and vegetables you know your family should eat more of, or foods that keep you full longer?

One alternative to giving up on the fresh foods is to participate in a co-op; you join together with lots of other people (being poor is not a requirement, no one asks anything about your finances), pool your money, and buy in bulk yourselves. There’s a co-op called Bountiful Baskets that operates in Arizona, Idaho, Utah, and Washington to get really good deals – $15 gets you a laundry basket full of a variety of fruits and …

Tips to Get Your Kids Eating Healthy Foods

You have decided to eat healthy. Your kids, however, are not going along with the program. Here are some tips you can use to get them eating the same healthy food that you eat, and eating it happily.

#1 Tip to get your kids eating healthy foods: Wrap it up.
Kids will eat just about anything in a flour tortilla wrap. To get them to eat you new healthy foods, keep whole-wheat flour tortillas on hand along with low fat sour cream, salsa, and raw spinach. When hiding your child’s healthy food in this tortilla wrap, be sure to press out any excess moisture which will make it fall apart, or they might actually see what you are trying to hide. Some items you can put in your wrap are shredded chicken and onions, egg whites, tofu and vegetables, shredded meats mixed with brown rice, and vegetables, seafood, or anything …
