Healthy Eating

Proper eating habits can change your life. Learn how to eat healthy and enjoy the benefits of an improved lifestyle. If you want to remain healthy and live longer have lovely looking hair, skin and nails you need to eat a healthy diet. A healthy eating regime will project you against health problems and improve the way your body functions. This will help you feel better within yourself.

You really should try to eat some fruits and vegetables. If you can't eat fruits and vegetables maybe you should consider taking some kind of natural supplement to help. Do you take anything now?

I wasn't much of a fruit person myself, but I understood it's importance, and told myself to stop being such a chicken, food is food, and ate it. I pretty much eat anything, Indian curry, Thai food, burgers, nice green veges, fruit, I don't care, food is food. From what I see, you have a particularly high carb diet, some protein, a bit of Vitamin A, C, calcium, iron. Meh, your diet sucks in terms of nutritional variety man =/. Basically, it looks like you eat things that keep your energy level going so you can do your daily activities, add a few layers of fat from lack of exercise and the high carb diet, with poor nutritional value. Be a man about it and increase your diet whether or not you like the taste.

For some odd reason, to me, it seems childish that once reaching an older age, to complain about not eating this or that simply because one doesn't like it. If it's good for you, why not, all the stuff that usually tastes great aren't good for you anyway. It is an accumulated taste anyway, eventually you will get used to it. Guess who goes to subways, and when they ask for what veges you want, says to put everything in =P. I didn't like olives or cucumbers and the like, -shrugs- its all good now. It gets a bit agitating that the sub blows up on me though and breaks in half =/

I agree with Mikolas.

Your diet as you described it is high in simple carbohydrates. It seems to contain very little protein, and no non-processed foods. Some people can get away with eating this way, but it will eventually catch up to you.

You don't have to dive head-first into a clean diet. You can start by making small changes and slowly working your way up. Ditch sodas and juices and replace them with water. Replace white bread with 100% whole wheat. Snack on fruits and veggies instead of crackers.

The adjustment takes time, but your tastes will change. You'll reach a point where you'll enjoy fruits and vegetables over the fast food stuff.

You really need to start experimenting with fruits and veggies and STOP with the refined carbs stripped of their nutrition. There are tons of ways to cook veggies. I'm in college as well, and let me tell you it is no easy task to eat healthy. All I am allowed is a microwave and fridge in my tiny dorm room. I manage to eat loads of veggies everyday, along with lean meats and complex carbs. I'm into bodybuilding, so I stock up my fridge with tons of food and manage to cook great tasting meals only with a microwave. I LOVE food so it's not like I'm eating nasty, flavorless dishes like some resort too when eating healthy. Try to implement more healthy fats like olive oil and fatty fish into your diet too. You're college cafeteria is sure to have a salad bar. Use it. You don't need to go to extremes like me to eat a healthy diet. You are bound to find some healthy options in your college cafeteria. Look for fruit, veggies, protein that is not deep-fried, and good carbs. You will need the energy from good healthy food especially if you are running. Good luck!!

Hi, I'm new here, so I hope that this isn't repetitive, but I wanted to show you this video I found. While it's not a complete discussion on all nutritional needs, and it does emphasize fat loss, it is full of great information.

Hey Miller... I am training for a marathon that I do with my friends too. I don't do a very strict diet, because I find that I can never stick to it. I just try to eat better in general. I work for a marketing company that promotes Snapple's new Antioxidant Water. I started drinking this once in a while after workouts or with meals and really enjoyed it! I was concerned about vitamins and whatnot after I cutout a lot of what I was eating in the past. This water is enhanced with not only antioxidants, but also Vitamin A & E. It is thirst quenching and aides in my vitamin intake. Of course I still eat mangoes and kiwis, which are two of my favorite fruits that provide a ton of those vitamins as well. I usually look forward to my Antioxidant Water though; not only is it really good for me, but also is a delicious treat! Let me know what you think...
