Many people get disappointed over doing diets and not obtaining results. It is way easier to see things in a different way. You are going to be eating healthier and not making a diet. Restricting yourself from eating different foods is not the answer to lose weight since you can be eating large portions of light products and still be gaining the extra weight you definitely do not want. The portion’s quantity of every meal is what counts but still there are some recommendations for different type of foods you might want to swap into healthier ones.
1- Try searching for natural food. The more natural it is the healthiest as well. Vegetables and fruits are definitely an important part of a healthy diet.
2- Avoid carbohydrates such as pasta, rice and white bread but if necessary make sure they are whole grain products since they will help you a lot.
3- Buy lean meat. Seafood is good for your health (unless you are allergic to it). It gives you the omega-3 you need for your diet. White meat is also very healthy as long as you do not fry it or cook it in a very unhealthy and oily way.
4- Drink water, low fat milk and drinks that are natural, that way you will avoid the unnecessary sugar ingestion.
5- Try to swap sugar for its corresponding supplement. It definitely tastes the same so there is no excuse not to try to be a little bit more careful with what you ingest.
Re: Do not have a diet, eat healthier
hey 'price' u have posted a very realistic n nice post...ppl r getting frustrated to think abut their weight wen they dont lose it while making wron efforts n the true thing they actually dont know how to take diet...they will take a complete heavy meals either or skip every thing n starve themseves n they cannt catch the simple fact as above u r trying to say:)
Great thread.
Diets are no good, I think. You can't deprive yourself all the time and I feel that's what diets ask you to do. No fun!
You can truly eat anything you want. Just do everything in moderation, and like price said, try to limit carbs and sugars. You can have your sweet treats and pasta...just not every day for every meal.
And don't forget exercise. You don't have to join a gym or buy hundreds of workout tapes and a bunch of equipment. Just move! Take a brisk walk, go up and down the stairs in your home a bunch of times, jump rope, chase after the kids in a rousing game of tag...whatever. You'll be surprised at what even 15 minutes a day of accelerating your heart rate will do for you.
