What to Diet For Your Health
Eating Healthy Should be Automatic!
The Problem about Diet and Nutrition
Diet is the daily foods you eat. Nutrition is the nutritional content of what you eat.
You may eat a diet full of junk; it is still called a diet. Not a good one, but a diet nonetheless. Your diet is a general term you use that may be filled with anything and can do good things to you or bad things. It is a category, a term used to define a group of food that you enjoy. Diet does not mean weight loss necessarily. A diet is anything you eat. We call it your "diet" referring to the food you eat.
Food is the only thing that can provide nutrition to your body. Nutrition varies in quality. You can have a nutritionally challenged diet or a highly nutritious diet.
There is a lot of information about diets -- some good, some okay, and some not even worth spending a moment on. What is anyone supposed to do?
While you could spend a lifetime on the subject, and maybe you should, there are only a few points you really need to know. Uninformed people try to make the rules of diet fit their style of life and that becomes a problem.
What About Diet Food
If you think you can buy some kind of diet food and make it work to loose weight for the long-term: it isn’t going to happen! It is not possible. Sure, you can loose weight without thinking. You know what you need to do.
Your challenge is to live a healthy lifestyle while eating packaged diet food. This isn't going to happen unless you make your own diet food.
Commercial diet food does not have vitamins and nutrients and is sold at exuberant prices for your convenience because you work too hard. But if you don’t buy packaged food when you come home you work even harder trying to find something to put together for dinner while trying to satisfy finicky eaters who live in your house.
I have great news for you! You can prepare your own diet food! This is true and there are several good reasons to do this. Preparing your own diet food:
Costs less than what you can buy in a pretty package Is more satisfying than reading the ingredient in packaged food Will give you satisfaction in your cooking talents
It takes planning and attention but isn’t it worth the effort? The food you eat goes into your body and makes you healthy or unhealthy.
Weight Loss for the Weak of Mind
Weight loss motivation is one of the most important parts to diet and weight loss.
Here are just a few motivation tips to keep you motivated.
Keep a picture of the heavier version of yourself in plain sight. This imageIt will remind you why you need to loose weight and will keep you from sliding back into old habits. It will also remind you of how far you have come and how much better you will look.
Concept your new self everyday. Visualize about how you want yourself to look. If you have achieved your new goals then just imagine yourself doing some new things, in your new body.
Make new goals farther and higher. When you reach your ideal weight, then you should set some new goals that will push you further into health. If you don't, you will likely fall back into old habits. It is easy to slip back into old habits so work to achieve something new. For instance if you have reached your ideal weight, then set a goal to increase your workout. Think about yourself in perfect shape, like you never imagined yourself. Look high and far, make your goal and then achieve it. Nothing will keep you more motivated then making and achieving your new goals.
