potatoes!

All you need to live is potatoes… thats all i know =) Oh and the five fruit and veg thing but whatever.

I drink innocent juice sometimes, thats fulla fruit :). But yeah I think youd have to be pretty anal to keep track of how much fruit and veg you eat every day

all that fruit is just so difficult to find the time to eat it all. i make fruit smoothies, just throw the fruit in and add some type of juice. orange, apple. whatevers in the fridge.

i have porridge for breakfast ! that fills you and is healthy :)
and then a sandwich or salad roll for lunch!! :)
sushi is yummy too.

the best thing to do is to thave 6 small meals a day, its better for your body to digest instead of 3 large meals!

i remember that. at the end of the isle you would have huge gigantic bins full of sweets that were 1 pound for two.

i know. i sit in from of the tele and suck on lemon drops. dont they count as fruit? they should.

i know. the nutrition facts are just there to make you feel even worse about yourself for eating them!

no, if you want a good recipe.

2 bananas
1 plum
2 cups of orange juice
1 cup of strawberries
1 peach

yum! dont forget to save me some.

i love them. my sister hates them sooo much. i like them when they’re JUST soft inside. but not hard… it hate it when they are like that. what i want to try is adding pears. i think that would make it super super good. im gonna go get a fruit smooothie now. Bye!!

it doesnt have to be 6 prepared meals.
but like cereal for breaky

then an apple and banana in there somewhere.

so in stead of a huge hot breakfast
then a bowl of pasta for lunch with a lemonade
and a roast or whatever for dinner

6 smaller servings are much better !
avoid saturated fats ;)
good fats like nuts are great!
good protein too

Well, D and I get microwaved, flash frozen veggies that steam in bags. Fresh veggies (salad) in bags.

Brown rice.

We try not to eat beef. Chicken (skinless boneless chicken breasts) are suppose to be the super protein (according to my brother.) Fish, occasional shrimp…

Dressings made of olive oil and vinegar, fresh herbs…

fried foods bad

veggies good, eat as many raw veggies as you want

Actually, you don’t have to completely give up taste, I found it’s just a matter of portions and keeping things balanced.

Breakfast: One starch or grain, one dairy or high calcium food, one piece of fruit, you can even hae butter, jam and nuts in the smallest quantity like the size of a thumb tip.

Lunch: One starch or grain, one protein, one fruit, unlimited veggies (love those veggies)

Dinner: One starch or grain, one protein, and all the veggies you can eat.

Of course I do set a bad example, I actually forget to eat sometimes, lol

Avoid processed foods.
Avoid foods containing high-fructose corn syrup.
Avoid meat and dairy products containing hormones and antibiotics.

Oh yeah and go light on your avatar, lol

That’s what I TRY to do Ditzy, but with my Hubby all the best layed plans sometimes go haywire, he loves lots of sweets.

What’s really bad is, I have a weakness for hostess cakes, personally I can avoid them at the store, but he tries to be sweet and pick things up that he knows I like. Thanks Honey!

I have a thing for twizzlers to, which is ok unless I end up eating the WHOLE bag.

Doesn’t that require a little will power? To bad for me, lol

tape up the bag and place it in a safe that you can’t remember the combination to, then hide the combination from yourself, lol

lmbo, yup I’m the same way, can’t even take my mind off them, if I know they are anywhere in the house!!

Pig out in moderation, lol

You are bad!

Have you ever had moose tracks? That’s my ice cream weakness.

I guess I shouldn’t direct you to Dairy Queen, lol

D and I can’t eat the moo cows—I think it’s because we haven’t found the right cut, supplier. Makes us feel like UGH. We did recently have pork tenderloins broiled in caramelized onion. Then on the flip side we had stoffers (frozen “fresh”) mac and cheese. LOL.

Try finding a Trader Joes, they’re very affordable.

We actually eat yummy basmatti rice (my brother is the healthnut and does the brown stuff) I own a rice cooker (bought at the asian market $100USD, 45 minutes to perfect rice.)

We fry (1-2 tbs of olive oil) left over rice with chianti sausage (2″ minced up), 1/4 medium onion, 3 tbs garlic, small tomato, and sometimes 1/2 sweet pepper. We eat a lot of strange burittos. Left over rice, marinated fish, shrimp, or chicken thighs.

We buy garlic in the (HUGE) jar already minced up. D and I love Garlic and onions.

Our olive oil is a blended oil, canola 2/3 and extra virgin olive 1/3. It’s cost effective, and from what I understand canola is better than veggie.

Go to trader joes!!! gosh.

remember ur emotional state of mind affects ur health too!
the less stressed you are, the more healthy you are
and vegatables are good for you :D

2 servings of fruit a day, 3 servings of vegetables; of those, 3-5 a week should be leafy green vegetables. lean protein such as legumes and beans, tofu, soy should be added to your diet. try substituting half the meat in a recipe with tofu.

ahh i love tofu! :p :) yum.

I have to go with Ditzy on this

Tofu GAG

Great website: mypyramid.gov

It has a meal planner that shows you what you need to eat each day, and a thingy where you can enter the food you eat and it evaluates EVERYTHING, like whether you are getting enough protein, or too much fat, and it keeps track of all your vitamins. It’s really cool, I use it every once in a while to make sure I’m eating healthy because I’m vegetarian. It gives you little happy or sad faces for each thing, so it’s really easy to use.

We carry cold bags, because sometimes what you want isn’t at the first store.

You can make full, fast, delicious meals on the cheap, as some would say.
Also cut soda pop, heavy sugar beverages out the diet and up your water intake–HUGE difference.

how is your healthy eating going?!
well i hope :)
p.s dont just think about the eating.. think about the exersise too!!

Ditzy, don’t forget the trolls, lol

whip for trolls, oh you said cool whip, either type whip will do, lol

Yeah, I read Pae’s post, I think I’ll have a chicken free week, but I’d starve if all I could eat was veggies.
