The Vital Connection Between Healthy Eating and Weight Loss

With all the "bad influences" out there; is it any wonder that weight loss as well as maintaining a healthy diet is so difficult. We see it everywhere from on TV to the Internet to magazines; everywhere we look there are people pushing what "ideal" people look like while at the same time advertising that we must eat at our favorite fast food places. Choosing the "right" diet for YOUR needs is so vitally important for your overall health. With Childhood Obesity in America at all time growth rates and with our lives being so hectic; now more than ever we need to get healthy when it comes to our diets and weight loss.

Here are some suggestions of what YOU can do right now:


1. Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. Period!

Find any and all fruits and vegetables that you enjoy eating and make sure that they become the essential core of your healthy eating habits. look for recipes that give you a variety of ways to cook or prepare your choices as to lower the chance of becoming "bored" with eating them. Prepare your fruits ahead of time so if you need to grab a "quick" snack, you can "grab" some cut up slices of apples or oranges instead of sneaking your hand into the cookie jar for that snack

2. Do Not Skip Meals! Especially Breakfast!

Eating breakfast is so important because it gets your body "going"; fueling your mind and body and making you more alert and active throughout the day.

3. If you have a very busy schedule, prepare lunches and snacks the night before.

That way you have what you need already prepared and ready for you to eat when you need it. This "brown bagging it" of meals and snacks will also keep you from making those "I'm hungry NOW" bad choices for meals and snacks.

4. Exercise!

Even if its only a brisk morning or evening walk. Make sure that you can do some kind of exercise for at least 30-45 minutes a day. Whether its walking or strength training with weights or dumbbells, exercise is a vital part of your weight loss.


5. Get your WHOLE family involved!

Your kids can be a great motivation for you getting healthy and losing weight. Plus, they can also be involved in a healthy lifestyle and you may even see that they enjoy it with you!


Follow these simple tips and you will see how easy it really is to make eating healthy along with regular exercise a daily part of your overall health.
