Post some of your tips, tricks, recipes, whatever, that have worked for you to change your eating habitats and encourage a healthier lifestyle.
1. Protein, protein, protein and more LEAN protein
2. Move everyday, even if it is walking around the block
3. Guacamole = good fats and homemade is WAAAAAYYYY better than store bought and SOOOO easy!
4. The more colorful the plate, the healthier it is. White, beige and brown=carbs=starch=sugar=chunky thighs
Also, I got this from a chain e-mail, but it make a lot of sense:
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods. Modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them.
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Oranges,Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Tips:
I generally make a healthy casserole on Sunday, so I don't have to cook on Mon & Tues. And I cook up several turkey burgers on Wed so I don't have to cook on Thurs & Friday. And Saturday is always "dinner with friends" night. That means I only have to cook twice a week.
I have a water bottle that's 24 oz. It's just enough that I only have to drink 3 to have my daily goal, but it's not SUCH a big bottle that it feels overwhelming, lol.
I know that I won't be satisfied with a sandwich for lunch, bc I like crunchy stuff...and a sandwich will just make me want chips afterwards, so I eat turkey and cheese sliced up on top of reduced fat Wheat Thins for lunch. Keeps me happy! Find what works for YOU people, don't listen if other people tell you what you "should" eat. :happy:0 -
One thing that works for me: Out of sight, out of mind.
If I can't see it, then I don't think about it. The opposite also holds true, if I have something on hand, I am more likely to use it.. like my water cup.0 -
Unsalted sunflower seeds (still in the shell) are my saving grace at night. My hubby works overnight so once my little man is in bed, it's just me and the tv. That's a very bad combination. The seeds are a great healthy way for me to keep my mouth occupied so I don't snack!
