Choosing To Eat Healthy Food

Greetings!

Everyday, you, I, and everyone else make some sort or choices about what we eat. But these choices are, to some extent, determined by our own circumstances.

Some choose to eat fast food, for instance, for many reasons including convenience, lack of time, work, addiction to certain types of food, budget constraints (fast food can be very cheap compared to healthy food), or just pure personal preference.

Some others choose to eat dietary types of food (low fat, or low carb, or high protein, and the like) for different reasons including health, recovery from ailment, wanting to lose weight (self image improvement), and that type of thing.

But our choices are not necessarely fixed by our personal circumstances. Sure, we may have little time during meal breaks, or we may have a very limited budget. However, you can overcome these factors if you really want to.

If you are determined to live a better, happier, and healthier life, you ought to choose well what you eat. But to know how to choose well, you have to educate yourself.

I was recently reading an article that advocates healthy eating. Everyone and her dog seems to be doing that. And it is easy to say "well, just have food that's low in fat, watch your sugar, get more proteins, less carbs, and you'll be fine". But reality is, even if you go out of your way to consume healthy food, you have to know what you're doing. You have to have a system to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve.

Is it weight loss what you want? Or is it more energy? Or perhaps you want to "detox" your body (although some experts reckonw that "detoxing" is as effective as washing your dog with a toothbrush!)? Whatever your goal is, you have to find out the best way to achieve it.

I mean... if it was just a case of buying low fat food, or eating whatever healthy stuff they sell out there, and eating it indiscriminately, we would not have the "Globesity" problem (I just love that new term!) in our afluent Western Societies. Everyone would be slim by now!

No. It takes education (first and foremost), planning and ongoing commitment to achieve what you want.

In some cases, you may also need personal coaching... but that's another topic I'll discuss later on.




Yours in Health,


Skinny Jeff
