I've had 5 children and I'm a happy, healthy, fit 5'7, 110 lbs...and guess what?? Dieting is not in my vocabulary!..I don't believe in it because society has shaped us into believing that if we 'slip up' during these unreasonably drastic diets, then we are 'bad' and we have 'failed.'
We set ourselves up for failure. How do we expect our bodies to work efficiently on just fruits and veggies? Or by cutting out carbs or eating only 1000 calories a day? It's kinda stupid when you think about it. How far is your car gonna go if you fill it up with water? Our bodies need a variety of foods in order to be at their best.
And when our bodies are fueled properly are minds are clearer and thinking straight.
Moderation is the key. Understanding how to make better food choices is most important when looking to better yourself through nutrition. Should you have white or brown bread, pasta or whole grain rice, a glass of apple juice or a pear, a chicken finger or hot dog? This is an important area to learn a strong base so that you can make the right choices for your body. Are you ready to give it a shot?
Moderation is difficult in today's world that emphasizes eating all you want and then just take a pill to make all the fat go away. I see you're a new blogger. Good luck with your postings.
