Healthy Eating

I hate diets. I hate the word DIET!! It's like a four letter word for FAILURE!!! Sure some diets work but forever? How often do you put the weight right back on? I will admit I've never actually been on a DIET. And I never will {unless, of course, for some medical reason my Dr. and I decide to do so}.

The key is eating HEALTHY!! Ironically, as I've been working out my eating habits have improved on their own! I crave more water, fruits & veggies {which I love to begin with}. But the great thing is, I HAVEN'T been wanting sweets &/or fatty foods!

I found this cool webpage that has 10 tips to healthy eating. You can find the whole thing HERE. But I'll do a sum-up.

* Eat a variety of NUTRIENT-RICH foods

* Enjoy plenty of WHOLE GRAINS, FRUITS & VEGGIES

* Maintain a HEALTHY weight

* Eat MODERATE portions

* Eat REGULAR meals {including breakfast; it is, after all, the MOST IMPORTANT}

* REDUCE, don't eliminate, certain foods

* BALANCE your food choices over time

* Know your diet PITFALLS

* Make CHANGES GRADUALLY

* Remember: foods are NOT good or bad

Eating healthy is all part of being healthy!!
