A Simple Approach to Healthy Eating
What IS Healthy Eating? Remember when making a "healthy" dinner was as simple as broiling a piece of fish? Nowadays, you need to know:
How is it that the seemingly simple question, "What should I have for dinner?" has gotten so complicated? Deciphering the latest science on what comprises healthy eating has come to require a tremendous amount of expert help, but... ...lucky for you... ...I'm an expert! In the healthy eating section of this website... ...I'll share what I've learned in my 17 years of experience as a registered dietitian. Eating healthfully doesn't have to be as complicated as it's made out to be. It's actually very simple, though it may seem overwhelming at times. Have no idea where to start? Freshen up on basic nutrition and the food groups. I'll then help get you moving in the right direction by helping you develop a healthy eating attitude. My successful clients have all adopted it! You'd never get anything else done if you had to figure out how to work in all the dietary recommendations you hear about, right?! Well, I'm here to tell you... Eating healthfully is a process, not a destination. It's okay to adopt small changes incrementally. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare... ...slow and steady wins the race. The best way to establish healthy eating habits really is... ...one habit at a time. I know a 70 year old woman who can do 70 jumping jacks. The reason she can is because she started doing 40 jumping jacks every day at age 40 and vowed to add one more every year.
If you're wondering what the characteristics of a healthy diet are, or simply need an understandable guide to eating healthfully, you'll find it all here. And I have good news for you... ...Eating healthy is possible...no matter what your lifestyle is like and no matter what stage of the life you are in.
