    • ANSWER:
      It is all out there to be had. 5 portions of fruit and veg, 2l of water, keep refined sugars and salts to minimum and basically a little of what you fancy does you good. All things in moderation and nothing to excess is a good wee adage.

  2. QUESTION:
    Healthy Diet?
    I am a twenty year old college student who is not very active physically. I have lost any motivation to lose weight, I have horrible health conditions on besides of my family and I want to go on a healthy diet. If not a diet, then anything I can do to lose weight that is healthy and will help me out will be great. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    • ANSWER:
      Here’s a few diet habits that you could do.
      I am inspired by the Japanese low rate of obesity and life longetivity.

      Walk more often! Many Japanese don’t rely on their car or public cars to do their activities. They do a lot of walking and climbing stairs on their daily activities. Japanese also ride bicycle often, those are good ways to increase the calories output.

      Don’t eat like a giant! You can start reducing your consumption, it may take sometime before your stomach is used to it.

      Don’t eat until you are full! Eat until you are 80% full.

      Consume more fish based foods rather than meat based products.

      Eat slowly! Compare the eating speed of a person that uses chopstick versus a person that uses spoon and fork. The chopstick is carefully designed so that you will eat slowly to let your digestion process works effectively. So eat at slower pace no matter how hungry you are.

      Make that a habit and combine your habits with healthy foods

  3. QUESTION:
    Healthy diet?
    About how many calories should a person eat everyday.
    Can u list the foods that a person should eat for a healthy diet.

    • ANSWER:
      2000 calories is too much or too little depending on the person.
      A rough estimate is your current weight times 10 first
      .I am 132# 1320 calories to maintain my weight for lying in bed all day. Add 10% (132) for digesting and eating food
      S0 1452, next times your activity level
      0.2 for sedentary
      0.3 for moderately active (1452 x 0.3=435.6+1452=1887.6 calories per day to maintain my weight)
      So 2000 would be too much.
      You need to plug the numbers to find your needs. To lose weight remove no more than 500 calories per day (unless your caloric needs exceed 3000 calories per day) from what is needed to MAINTAIN your weight. With that you should lose roughly 1 lb per week (3500 calories = 1 # of fat)
      0.5 for highly active.
      Your intake should not be any lower than 1200 calories per day of highly varied foods, that contains
      fruit, rainbow of fruits
      veggies brighter=more vitamins
      lean meats (or meat alternatives) skinless chicken pork loin, round ste, tofu, soybeans, legumes
      a healthy balance of fats, canola oil, flaxseed oil, non-hydrogenated margarine or a small amount of butter,
      whole grains
      lowfat dairy lowfat yogurt and cottage cheese (also a meat alternative) lowfat cheese
      and low in sugar. limit sodas, ban the sugar bowl.There is no dietary recommendation for sugar-
      whole grains-wheat bread (3 grams of fiber per svg) brown rice, whole wheat tortillas

      There is actually a more complex formula that uses your height, gender and age. But this formula is adequate enough

  5. QUESTION:
    What are some healthy diet suppliments to boost my weight loss?
    Do you know any healthy diet suppliments that are also cheap? I’m an overweight teen and I’m 5’9, big boned and about 50 lbs overweight. I exercise and eat very healthy but I haven’t lost as much as I believe I can. Plus my family is short on money.

    • ANSWER:
      The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, “starving” your self etc.

      first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..

      eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be “lean meat” such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID “JUNK FOOD” and “Fast Food” as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is not good .

      if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.

      go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.

      if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.

      10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…

      btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a “food steamer” at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a “rice cooker” which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs “healthy carbs” to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good “jasmine rice”.. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like “cumin” or “Curry powders”, etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.

      drink “Green Tea” as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well
