Eating Healthy
Most people don't like to eat healthy because when they think about it, they see images of eating tofu and bland food and they think "oh no not for me". For one think, tofu is not healthy. It is made from soy. And if you know how to prepare food, you can make healthy eating quite delicious. I've had people comment that my chicken, steak, or hamburgers are some of the best they've tasted. What I cook is very healthy. I think people follow these false teachers who think that eating boring foods is equivalent to eating healthy. Nothing come be further from the truth, soy milk is not healthy, tofu is not healthy, moderate servings of rice is not healthy, but that is what these false teachers promote.
I believe in a life of moderation. In fact, I seem to like drinking coffee. People get the idea that coffee is unhealthy. If you take Starbucks cappucino in place of a healthy meal, then that is unhealthy. Coffee is not a substitute for food. However taking coffee as part of your daily routine is fine provided that it is done in moderation. I rarely if ever drink more than one cup of coffee a day.
In fact, most of these "health diets" are actually unhealthy. The secret to knowing what is good for you is to pay attention to how to feel starting at 30 minutes after you each. Sounds simple enough but most people eat a ton of fries and junk food and then complain two hours later they feel bad. When I ask them what they eat, they seem flabbergasted to believe that anything they eat can make them feel bad. It's like a oxymoron but these people seem to exist in high quantities. Stop listening to what gurus tell you is healthy and pay attention to your own body and how it responds to the food. Over time you will know what is good for you. Do people know that french fries, those that aren't made fresh that day, are full of trans fat? Any place that uses frozen fries will have trans fat. Did you know in the 80's, that trans fat was being promoted as being healthy? That why you should never trust those people.
Trust yourself and your own body instincts to the food you eat.
