healthy eating plan to lose weight

What are some good web sites or magazine references for healthy living/healthy eating habits?

I am doing a report for my class, and I have no idea of any major sources. Does anyone know of any companies or various groups that promote healthy living/eating?

Self Magazine and Chatelaine Magazine are 2 of my favorites I buy every single month. They both focus on important issues rather than who's dating who. Self deals mostly with work out ideas, and healthy eating, and anything that'll bring you closer to being your very best in every aspect of life. Chatelaine has all that plus how to's such as making the perfect thanksgiving dinner and many many other recipes for those who are fresh out of the nest. Hope this helps. Enjoy! :)

Men's Health is great. My husband gets it, but I read it cover to cover every month. It is about all aspects of healthy living, including eating right, exercising and having healthy relationships. Great mag with practical advise.

I'm a big fan of LIME - healthy living with a twist

How does healthy eating affect physical fitness?

How does it?

Does healthy eating help in anyway?

Speaking for myself:

If you eat small portions of HEALTHY food, you can increase your metabolic rate, which is crucial for burning fat w/ minimal exercise.

If you gorge on food, it tricks your body into storing energy for fat reserves--like when bears hibernate.

Eating a high caloric diet that doesn't match your physical lifestyle will cause you to get fatter.

when you eat healthy your body will be energized and fuelled with the nutrition that it need to be fit and that will make your whole body toned and firmed without that extra fats and for your information please visit this site to know more about the nutrition and vitamin in the food and how it really effect your body best luck and enjoy your life and have fun .http://www.healthalternatives2000.com/fruit-nutrition-chart.html

um...4 u 2 even ask dat question...well dats pretty stupid, cuz its kinda obvious

if u havent realized the adverse affects of unhealthy eating yet, then ur metabolism must b superrr fast

but seriously, c'mon

do reallllly have 2 ask???????

such a blonde -sigh-

not dat i have anything against blondes, but since i've been one my whole life (well, till 16 where i went brunette)

It gives you more energy... with less "fake" sugar, meaning you won't crash.

And healthy foods generally have less fat and extra calories, meaning you can work out more and have it "count" a lot more. I've eaten healthier for a year now with exercise and feel great! =D

This may help a little:

the amount of energy intake should be a bit more than energy used or output

Is healthy eating possible for fussy eaters?

I'm soooo fussy when it comes to food - I'm not too keen on fruit - I'll eat the odd apple from time to time but that's about it. I don't like nuts or seeds to some extent & every healthy eating article says about snacking on nuts, seeds & fruit. Can anyone recommend anything else which helps you to loose weight but isn't fruits/nuts or suchlike?

Fruits, nuts and seeds belong in the carbohydrates section. Fruits also gives you fiber. Nuts and seeds give you protein too. You'll need replacements.

You need the basic three nutrients in food: carbohydrates (a type of sugar), fats and proteins.

You can replace the fiber you get from fruit by eating more vegetables or whole-grain products. You should eat about 25 grams of fiber a day for healthy eating.

Fruit, nuts and seeds can be replaced as carbohydrates by potatoes, cassava, yams, taro, dried peas, dried beans, grains, rice, sugar, milk, candy. I recommend milk. It gives you fat (giving you more energy) and it contains calcium and protein too! That could be your protein replacement.

I hope I helped. If you need some recipes to find out what you can eat as a fussy eater try these sites. All the recipes are healthy and contain information about the nutritional value. That way you can see how much of each nutriet you're eating everyday.

How about more veggies? Snacking on carrot sticks or something? Im even worse I dont eat fruit or veg - healthy snackng is impossible then!

force it down ya xxx

Healthy eating is definitely possible, I'm incredibly fussy... though I -love- salted/mixed nuts [I eat looooots of them] and I'm ok with most fruit so... but I do eat healthily.

Have you tried alot of fruit? Lots of them taste different... Also some of them are crunchier (more apple-like) if you eat them in an almost-ripe state.

and, do you eat vegetables? raw vegetables make good healthy snacks too.

also try eating wholemeal stuff, like bread/cereal... cos it's got more fibre it fills you up more so you're not as hungry.

you get very good meal replacements, that give u all the required nutrients.

What is the secret to healthy eating?

I want to start eating healthy- but I want the food to be yummy too. What are some basics for healthy eating? What are some healthy food staples to keep in the house? Any advice on healthy food eating would be great. Thanks!

eat yummy food but make sure it's not too much. eat protein in the morning because it'll tone down your hunger later. lunch should be your biggest meal and dinner should be your smallest. just control the amount you eat and don't eat when you know you're full because it's going to waste or you just still want to eat it.

never leave the produce section LOLz. except for doing to the dairy aisle to get orange juice and soy milk.

When I go to the grocery store I ALWAYS go towards the produce aisle first. pick of a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. go to the grain section and pick up brown rice and a couple cans of organic black beans. get rid of all the junk in your house. that includes junk food,candies,non organic dairy, and non organic meats so you aren't tempted.

When I have a sweet craving, I satisfy it and have a mini So delicous dairy-free ice cream sandwich, and some fruit. when craving meat, I go for beans. I actually no longer crave meat since I hadn't had it in a while. instead i crave beans,

Don't eat highly processed foods, Eat foods high in fiber and low in fat and a glass of red wine daily for the antioxidant properties in RED wine. Simple!

Being vegan is really healthy. There are ton of subsititutions for like ice cream or pizza that is really healthy

I think the best thing you can do is go vegan

www.vnv.org.au

Many people go vegan for health reasons alone

healthy food sucks. taste nasty. but you eventually just get used to it.

What time can i watch or listen to healthy eating programmes on tv and radio?

What channel and what radio station do they come on and what time they come on?

I want to educate myself about healthy eating. Thanks to whoever gives me the best information and i wont forget your 10 points.

If you have cable/sky you can watch the Food Channel (cable 260) there's a show called Healthy Appetite where a dietician called Ellie cooks up some amazing dishes that uses minimal healthy oil (canola) and uses lots of herbs/spices to make things taste really good without it being stodgy, or laden in fats. there's also good chef, bad chef that was shown some time ago, but i'm not sure if it's on sky still but it gives you two cooks cooking similar meals one with healthy ingredients and the other normal.

bbc food website is a great place to start it gives you plenty of advice, ideas for simple great yummy dishes

super size v superskinny is a documentary series in which two extreme eaters - one very overweight and the other severely underweight - swap diets in an attempt to change the way they view food and eating. its on channel 4

What are some healthy eating habits and snacks?

I'm 6'0", weighing in at around 190 lbs. I'd like to shed off a couple of more pounds to look thinner, and I'm concerned that if I don't, then my health will be affected. I'm not fat, but I'm just a little chubby and I'd like to lose that weight. I've decided to go on a healthy diet (I've stopped drinking sodas), but I don't know any good healthy foods or eating habits. What are some good healthy snacks that I could munch on that wouldn't affect my weight, and what are some good ways that I could shed off these extra pounds?

The best thing you could do is not eat as many calories, as you do on a normal day, but dont starve yourself. Be sure to eat protiens to. Also a proven fact is that diet pops make you gain weight instead of loose weight.

GLAD I COULD HELP =)

Try looking at the ingredients on foods less calories and sugar the better. good foods are low fat snacks. Look at the brands of food like weight watchers.

Breakfast is important even if it's just a breakfast drink like "boost". More small meals are better than 1 or 2 huge meals. And walk lots.

How do you keep your child on healthy eating habits?

More importantly, how do you get them to START with the healthy eating habits and quit the bad ones?

How do you tell your child they cannot have that second cookie, or that cone of ice cream and avoid their disappointment?

What were some things you did with your children to get them to PREFER eating healthier?

My daughter loved to eat vegetables and fruit. I didn't have a lot of ice cream and cookies but on a front room table (that she could reach) I had grapes and apples and oranges. She never had to ask if she could eat them. I let her. They were always there and within her reach. BTW we called broccoli - trees and cauliflower - flowers. They were in the fridge already pre cut and cleaned for her.

My kid wants what I'm eating. He's 20 months and loves salad.

If you don't have junk in the house, they won't eat junk.

If you act like you love something, they will keep trying it. My mom LOVES tomatoes and as a child I kept trying them because I saw how much she enjoyed them. Eventually I started to like them too. My son is the same way with broccoli. He knows I love it, so he keeps trying it, even though when he does put it in his mouth he makes yukky faces.

How can i start eating healthy when nothing sounds good?

im 15 weeks pregnant, i was doing so good on making sure i was eating healthy but as soon as i hit week14 i started eating like an out of control 1000 pound women. grilled chicken and veggies no longer sound good. i have been eating corn dogs and cup cakes. how do i get back to my healthy eating when it doesnt sound good at all? i still crave fruit but thats the only healthy thing i've been eating. its really important to me to eat healthy and i was a little overweight before getting pregnant so i want to keep my weight gain under control.

How about yogurt? Fruit was my major craving (they said that was a sign it would be a girl but they were WRONG!), so I found ways to work fruit into every meal. Yogurt and fruit, cereal and fruit, chicken with fresh pineapple, salads with fruit, fruit salads...it must have worked, because I only gained 25 lbs total, and I was a bit overweight to begin with, so I lost it all and then some when I gave birth. Another thing you might try is eat your fruit first, and wait a bit. If you're still hungry, THEN have that corn dog.

Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy.

well a thing i love now and is satisfying as well is i make a shake with frozen cherries ,milk, and you could if you want add some fat free frozen yoghurt.......... blend it up with some honey and put some fat free cool whip on it! its filling and good for ya!.............also lean cuisine makes dessert type things now.....and instead of normal corndogs get the vegetarian ones they are lower in fat! hope it helps a little bit!!

try lean cuisene south beach diet slimfast etc.

Your hormone levels are changing pretty frequently during pregnancy, and when it comes to what you like and do not like when you're pregnant, anything goes. One day you might LOVE chocolate chip cookies, the next day, the very thought of someone bringing a cookie into your house may make you homicidal. :)

A dietition's advice would be helpful. He or she can tell you what your nutritional needs are and can suggest ways you never might have considered.

I wish you the best!

try to get the junk foods out of your life. Make sure there are none of those junk foods you desire in the house and only what you used to eat.

you need to just keep on going. i mean, whats the use of doin it for 13 weeks and then just ruining everything?

It is hard when you crave things bad for you when pregnant. don't deprive you self of the junk food but slow it down. Eat it once a week. instead of all the time. Make you self eat the healthy stuff again slowly. Trying getting food that is healthy for you and the baby it doesn't have to be grilled chicken all the time. you can bake you food. or use slower cooker with healthy food recipes.

I know what you mean!! I craved cheese burgers!!! But you all ready know that you need to eat good. You just have to! Good luck!!!

Hi there. You just have to tell yourself "no" and remind yourself why you are doing the things you do. Try looking up new recipes for low-fat food, the odd treat is fine as long as your not pigging out 24/7. The healthier you are, the healthier your baby is. Good luck :)

Well you can start by not buying any junk food. If theres only healthy food in the house, thats all youll be able to eat. Just make fresh salads and a healthy meal and force urself to eat that and hopefully you will start to crave that instead. Its going to be hard when you crave junk, but you can do it! Good luck and enjoy your baby =]

Do it for the baby, baby! Eat a apple a day and sweet fruits (melon, mango, papaya, etc.) YUM!!! you love fruits!!!

I'm 37 weeks pregnant with #4 and all I want to eat is watermelon. Seriously, I can eat a whole one every night! Just because you aren't craving something or it doesn't sound good, doesn't mean you can't eat it anyway. As long as it doesn't make you actually throw up, you should try to eat it and try to be healthy with your choices. I gained 70 pounds with my first one and only 25 with this one. It's hard to lose it, so don't gain more than you have to! Good luck.

Look online at healthy websites. I saw one called "Getcha Grub On" and it has lots of good recipes. Also recipes.com and the Food Network website are full of inspiring recipes.

Don't starve yourself of sweets, if that's what you really want. Just have a little bit, enough to satisfy your craving. Like, sometimes I will go to McDonald's and get a grilled chicken salad and a small fries. That way I can get the salty treat, but the main meal is still healthy. Or compromise your meals and eat foods that aren't very unhealthy, but still could be better for you. There is nothing worse than eating foods you don't want, I am having the same problem!!!

Eating unhealthy is too easy. What's a good tip to make healthy eating easier to do?

Fast food restaurants are everywhere. If you're low on money and hungry, you have plenty of unhealthy options and you don't even have to get out of your car. But if you want to eat healthy, it takes much more effort. Does anyone have a good tip about how to make a healthy eating routine easier to accomplish?

The problem with fast food restaurants for the most part is even the "healthier" choices aren't that good. McDonalds uses Iceberg lettuce, the cheapest and lest beneficial kind.

On the road, try to find a Subway or Mr. Sub. A more economical choice (an healthier) is to keep a stock of healthy foods in your car or purse. Try keeping ready-to-eat cans of tuna, granola bars or even a box of cereal in your car.

For at home, it's more than just what you eat, it's how you prepare what you eat. Don't fry your chicken, grill it. Buy lean cuts of meat, and eat less pork. Avoid bacon, but subsitute for chicken or turkey bacon. A great thing is grapeseed oil. It's cheaper, healthier and better tasting than your regular olive oil.

The most important thing is to be motivated. Set a goal, write it down, put it on a post-it note on your fridge, and stick to it. Find your incentive and think about it before you eat. Lastly, always eat breakfast even if it's a small one. It will boost your metabolism, as skipping breakfast for a year can result in more than 10 pounds of weight gain.

fast food restaurants also offer salads and some healthier choices.

pick a salad with lowfat dressing or no dressing at all. grab a cup of tea with it.

you can always find a substitute.

Start adding healthy things when you are going to eat, like veggies many of them you could eat raw, peanut butter on celery, fruits and drink plenty of water.

cut carrot sticks and leave in fridge so you can snack on them through the day, take a little snack bar out with you so if your in the car and hungry you can munch on that or gum. cook meals with plenty of carbohydrate this will keep you feeling full for longer. always eat breakfast this sets you up for the day. eat fruit and veg each day with main meal i.e chicken and don't cut out sweet/junk food just have it in moderatiomn denying your body treats will make you fall off the wagon but having a bit sometimes lets you have a break - it doesn't have to be diffucult if you don't make it =)
