When you're truly tired of the rut you're in, you have to accept the change and live it. To be a healthy eater, you need to give up those fattening, high-calorie foods that taste so good but are really bad for us. Start with sodas... delete it from your vocabulary; instead, drink iced teas with sugar-free sweeteners, and drink water the rest of the time. Instead of candy, chips, and other snack foods, eat fruits and veggies; take a couple of bananas or a cup of grapes with you to work. Cut up some carrot sticks, celery sticks, or any other veggies that you like and snack on them around the house or in your car. Stay away from fried foods and go with baked or broiled foods. Seafood is very healthy, try some steamed shrimp, baked salmon, even sushi (hey, don't knock it until you've tried it!). Not only is it high in protein, but the natural oils in seafood are great for your bones and joints! Give up white bread and go with wheat or natural grain breads (did you know they use bleach to make bread "white"?). Just making these few changes can greatly improve your odds at losing weight. Check out the websites below to help you calculate your proper calorie intake and figure out what food pyramid you should be following. Other than that, just find time through your week to get out and do some cardio exercise; wether it's walking around the neighborhood, riding a bike, swimming, aerobics or cycling class at the gym, jogging on a track, etc. Find something you enjoy and schedule time in your week to do it, 3 times a week minimum. Just eating right and keeping active will melt the pounds away, but you have to live it!!! Good luck!!<br><b>References : </b><br>http://health.discovery.com/tools/calculators/activity/activity.html http://www.mypyramid.gov/ Being a healthy eater isn't just a part-time fad, it's a mind-altering lifestyle that you have to whole-heartedly accept.

It's not something you take for granted. Everytime you look at Jack N the box, Mcdonalds, or a quick fix Starbucks, keep saying in your head "I don't need this- my belly doesn't need this, and my health doesn't need this". Then walk away, and go home and look forward to your own Low fat veggie sandwhich, and low fat fries, or whatever you feel you want to eat at home. It all starts with within. You must clear your insides, and focus on what you really really want to achieve before going on a crash diet. If it's truly a healthy diet, and more energy, then you will feel so enthusiastic about cooking meals for yourself. It just takes time. It won't happen overnight. Just be patient and the rest will follow.<br><b>References : </b><br>experience. Remind yourself that eating healthy is necessary! It's not something you take for granted.

That would be one of the best things you could do for your health. Choose tea, water, or juice over the soda. Diet are even worse so I say cut them all out. Ok now on to the food. Try to eat breakfast before leaving the house. Things like cereal, oatmeal, breakfast bars, fruit, etc. For your lunch have you thought about brown baggin it? The stores even have nutritious already made meals these days. Make better choices when you are out. Try cutting the portions down. Having a hamburger is fine, but try to do without the fries (those are a killer even though they taste yummy). Try a baked potato somewhere. Sandwich shops are usually a good choice, chinese food if you don't put too much soy on it, and salads. There are better choices out there. fast food places also put there menus and calories up on their websites. Check them out. a lot of nicer restauranst alos have food to go and sometimes have healthier choices. I would try to brown bag it part of the time of you can. Get some walking in. Don't go overboard at first. Take it slow. I think by getting more water in your diet is a good start and then move on from there. Removing all the junk food from the house except maybe a few treats is also a good idea. I wish you luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> The first thing you can do is if you are a soda drinker give those up first. That would be one of the best things you could do for your health.
