Have you noticed that you are having a hard time maintaining a healthy weight? Or that you have added some fatty pockets sporadically throughout your body? Or that you just do not have the energy that you once had and often feel tired and worn out?
Many would say that this is all part of the aging process and that you just have to sit back and let it happen. This; however, could not be further from the truth! The way you eat plays a large role in the way you age. It is time to create healthy eating habits now before it is too late.
You have been eating a certain way your entire life, so do not expect to be able to change this over night. This is the exact reason 99% of diets do not work. Most diets expect you to nearly starve yourself leaving you feeling worse than you did before you started. As soon as you cannot take it anymore or the dieting period is over, most of the weight you lost comes right back, and then some.
Dieting, because you are starving your body, actually slows down your metabolism. Once you start eating again, your body cannot process the food as it used to, causing weight gain and lethargic reactions.
Dieting, also, usually fails because you are depriving yourself of the foods you truly love. If you really focus on taking care of yourself and your health via a healthy balance diet, you will allow yourself a treat here and there; something most diets forbid you to do. But seriously, who wants to live their life eating lettuce all day every day, nobody, so don't.
Rule of thumb, when it comes to healthy eating, is to eat an 80/20 diet. What this means is that you eat healthy foods 80% of the time and treat yourself the other 20%. Now, I wouldn't go crazy with this and eat ice cream that entire 20%, but you get the drift.
Changing the way you eat is much easier than it may appear. Forget about all the failed diets you have been on and focus on the energy that you can have back by eating proper foods. The best way to change your eating habits is to take it one step at a time. Start with a healthy breakfast; replace your existing breakfast with some organic yogurt, fruit, and nuts.
Do this for a couple of days and move on to your next meal or snack. Before you know it, you will have replaced all of your meals with healthy, satisfying meals.
It won't take long for you to start feeling better once you are eating more natural, organic foods.
Your body automatically knows what to do with these foods and how to process it for the energy you need. Therefore, your energy level nearly instantly increases and you start to feel like you can conquer the world again. Whatever you do, ignore all those diets out there, and focus on a lifestyle of healthy eating habits. You, and everyone in your life, will thank you for it.
