Diet, Eating Habits or Menu Plan;Whatever you want to call how you eat, it is vitally important for health that most of the time, we are eating right, or well.

But what does that mean? What is the best way to eat, really, for health?

First, I would refer you to the fat loss page, or the mass page, depending on if you'd like to lose or gain weight. If your bodyweight is good where it is, great! Go on to read the fat; the truth page on this site, for a good start. Fats are immensely important to good health. Be smart about the fats you eat- your body will thank you!

In terms of general (for everyone) guidelines, there are a few good ones;

1    Eat your greens.

Consume lots of vegetables and fruits, either raw, or lightly cooked. Conserve cooking water; drink it up as a soup- keep all the nutrients.

2    Protein power. Every meal.

Be sure to get a good protein, every meal, and most snacks. Breakfast being the most important protein. See veg recipes and nuts and seeds page links for lots of tasty, healthy protein sources. If you eat dead animals (as I do), do be sure they are organically raised! (see organic page)

 

What is protein? Protein is essential for health, energy, and recovery. Get it from eggs, cheese, beans, lentils, chick peas, peas, nuts and seeds, all meats, poultry, and all seafood.

Protein helps keep you satisfied, more than carbs or fats, though you will want to have carbs and fats, too.

Protein is what your muscles, skin, and organs are mostly made of, after water.

3   Drink water.

Enough water boosts fat burning (fat loss page), and circulation, as well as digeston and heart health. So drink up! 2 -4 litres per day.

4  Prepare your own foods, and/ or eat foods that are easy and healthy- eg.;

Raw nuts or seeds, with fruit or dried fruit. Or yogourt (cow or soy), with raw hemp seeds thrown in.

LEARN TO COOK.

Really. Packaged foods are killing us (to put it harshly), or are not very good (to put it mildly). Processing and packaging a food really degrades the quality of it, in numerous ways. Even if the label looks good. It is beyond dead, devitalised, and contaminated. Keep it to a minimum, as far as you can. This point is immensely important, and applies to fast food and packaged/ pre-prepared food. You would realise it fully if you saw the evidence! The film "Supersize Me" is only a start! A good start, but just a start, nonetheless.

5.  See a Nutritionist (ME!)

Get optimum individualised advice, so you can get an individualised, complete plan.

Other steps . . . .

Even if you want to gain weight, there is a lot of good information on the fat loss page- especially about protein, that applies to everyone.

DETOX

The detoxification page is a wonderful step to take- be one of the 2% of the population (I hope I am wrong, and it is higher than that), that reaps the mega-benefits of cleansing, and familiarise your self with the most powerful tool for health; cleansing!
