Its time to become a Healthy Eater

By Steve Buchanan


If you've started training, that's GREAT, but you also need to become a healthy eater to really get the results you want. But being a healthy eater means that you need to become both educated and smart about what healthy eating really is. Look being food smart isn't about learning to calculate grams or fat, or studying labels and counting calories.

Healthy eating is all about having a balanced and moderate approach to eating, that means consisting of healthy meals at least four to six times per day. Healthy eaters eat many different types of foods, not limiting themselves to one specific food type or food group. Its a bit like eating the rainbow, try eating all colors of food.

Eating healthy requires quite a bit of leeway you need to be a bit flexible. You might eat too much or not enough, consume foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious. However, you should always be trying to fuel your body and your brain regularly with enough food to keep both your mind and body strong and alert.

A healthy eater has to be a good problem solver. Healthy eaters have learned to take care of themselves and their eating with sound judgement and making wise decisions and a little bit of forward planning. Healthy eaters are always aware of what they eat, and know the effect that it will have on their bodies, the good and the bad.

When someone is unable to take control of their eating, they are also likely to spiral out of control with other aspects of their life as well. They could end up spending too much, talking too much, even going to bed later and later.

You should always remember that restricting food in any way is always a bad thing, and by that I mean not eating lunch or worse not eating breakfast. Being a healthy eater is a way of life, something that you can do to enhance your body or your lifestyle. If you've thought about making your life better, healthy eating is just the place to start. You'll make life easier for yourself, those around you, and even your family.
