YOUR TUMMY OR YOUR LIFE..... A short guide to making better, smarter, more empowered eating choices.
(for more inforamtion on this article go to lifetimefitness.com)


** RESPECT YOUR BODY. Understand the role your food choices play in your health. Ask yourself: Where are poor food choices showing up in my health, energy and appearance?

** START SEEING FOR FOR WHAT IT IS.Most restaurant and packaged foods are the same six or seven cheap ingredients combined in different ways. Most of the ingredients are not ones you want to be eating in any quantity. Notice how food is marketed and advertised. What are the tactics the company is using to get you to buy it? What emotional/social benefit are they implying.?

** DON'T TRY TO ELIMINATE ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU LOVE.But do reduce the frequency and / or portion size of the ones you know aren't good for you. Also look for healtier options, and try new things now and then!

** LEARN TO COOK FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY, AND DO IT TOGETHER--OFTEN. It is possible to whip together a fine, fresh dinner in under 30 minutes. You can do breakfast or lunch in ifve!

** CHOOSE FOODS LESS FOR THAT THEY DON'T HAVE IN THEM,and more for what they do hae to offer for the body, both in terms of quantity and effectiveness. If the food isn't based on healthy, nutritious ingredients, even if it does'nt have anything really, "bad", you can choose better.

** GO FOR BASIC GOODNESS.The close to the original form of food, the more it has to offer. Taste, satisfaction, nutrients all peak in fresh fruit, for example. Frozen fruit, a bit less so, and canned the least. Choose fresh, locally grown food whenever it is ripe and available.

** RESIST ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT OFFERS. And avoid restaurants that trade
on "botomless breakfast bread baskets". Also be wary of food products menus that use the words like "giant" "collosal" and "extreme" to flaunt their wares. Real quality is likely not a priority here. Keep in mind that most U.S. restaurants are simply not very good at vegetables, fruits or whole grains. They are good at industrially produced proteins and fats and refined grains. Does'nt your body deserve better?

** CUT YOURSELF OFF. If you hae trouble with portion control, don't take an open bag of snacks with you while you do something mindless. If you're served a large palte at a restaurant, immediately ask to have half of the portion put in a doggy bag for another meal.

** PORTION CONTROLis far more easier and healthier! Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables produce greater satisfaction and don't initiate "goot have more" cravings the way many processed, sweetened and artificially falovred products do.

** FEED YOURSELF FOR HEALTH FIRST then indulge your desires. If you eat your entire meal and still want the bread, have a slice. But if you start with teh bread beforehand, you may fill up on it.

** CARRY A STACH OF HEALTHY SNACKS and "convenience foods" with you. Get a good, easy-to-carry cooler and some portable, reusable food storage containers. Know what and where you are goint to eat each day-- before you leave the hosue.

** BE LABEL SMART. ingredients are listed in the order used. Sugar assumes several disguises, such as fructose, sucrose and other "ose" endings. Be specially wary of high fructose corn syrup. Also beware of refined fats. Trans fats are not curently listed as such, but anything that contains hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil will contain trans fats in similar portions.

** BE CAUTIOUS OF FOODS that proudly trumpet that they are "fat free" or "sugar free". If they don't have good stuff in them, it does'nt really matter.Also watch out for "made with whole grain", marketing messages. The product may have just a little whole wheat mixed in with mostly refined.
