(opinion)What things do you people out there eat that you consider healthy? and how to you make/where do you buy it?

(nutrition) what is filling and healthy?


i know there almost the same thing but please i need help with new foods that are healthy because i have been just chomping on egg whites!

the less processed, the better.
so, meat, dairy, eggs, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, rice, potatoes.

basically shop the perimeter of the grocery store (produce, meats, dairy) and just hit the isle with rice, oatmeal, and frozen veggies.

rely on spices to give you variety.

Variety is very important in a healthful diet. Here's a good plan:

Write a list of everything you want to exclude from your diet completely, and write the reasons why. This list would typically include things like hydrogenated oils, unhealthy desserts, high-calorie drinks from Starbucks, etc.

Then write a list of things of which you wish to limit your intake. Things like sugar, caffeine, saturated fat, etc. that are not entirely avoidable but that should be limited.

I think the key is too keep as much variety as you can while limiting the not-so-good stuff.

hey malkore, i heard from a lot of asian people that when they stop eating rice regularly they drop in fat and weight dramatically because its carb.. are u sure i should be eating rice often?

Rice shouldn't be the main staple of your diet. It is a good, healthy food, but as with everything else, should only be consumed in moderation. If you're looking to focus on weight loss, protein is your friend.

My favorites are tuna, chicken, and small portions of lean sirloin. Eggs are very high in protein and make a very good breakfast. You don't have to take out the yolk, unless you're concerned about cholesterol. I like yogurt for snacks.

The more food you can prepare yourself, the better. Things like prepackaged dinners (TV dinners, Hamburger Helper, etc) all contain processed food that does more harm to your body than good. By preparing your own food, not only do you become handy in the kitchen but you also control exactly what goes into your body.

If you have a local co-op near where you live, shop there for your food. Most local growers or ranchers won't put preservatives into their product. If you have to buy your food from large retail stores (Safeway, Walmart, Kroger, etc.) try to buy organic foods, especially when it comes to meat. Some disturbing reports have come out in the last couple of years concerning the effects of growth hormones on our bodies (I'll let you research that yourself).
