Question:
Any suggestions on how I can ease into a healthier diet?
I've never had a healthy or balanced diet - not ever...I'm not fat or obese and I would be considered by most to be in good shape but I am slightly overweight and very concerned about my health. I'm planning to sign up for a gym in July and go to classes - that part is easy, it's the diet part I have a hard time with. I'm not so interested in losing weight, because I just want to be healthy - so part of that is eating healthier but it's soo hard. Not only do I have a repulsion for anything healthy - I just don't know how to fit it into my diet w/ the busy schedule I have - I don't particularly enjoy salad and when I do occasionally eat it I have to force myself to eat it - any suggestions or advice?
Answers:
Start with one thing: Like commit to exclude most or all high fructose corn syrup from your diet. It's a bad one because it whacks out blood sugar and can make you more hungry and tired.
Next: Add a good thing. I have always HATED green veggies, still do. I do like salad greens and I now eat a baby spring green salad with organic dressing once or twice a day!
Read a lot and try to add one good, subtract one bad every two weeks or every month.
