Step 1 to Losing Weight (continued): Eating Healthy

Eating right does not mean you have to go on some radical diet. Eating healthy can be as simple as avoiding junk and making sure you get your fruits and vegetables. They say that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." By no means does that statement sum up the entirety of what there is to know about staying healthy, but there is truth to that statement.

Pay attention to the food pyramid. 

They made it for a reason, and they know their stuff. Using that as a guide for your eating habits is a great tool for staying healthy.

A few tips: Follow these several tips, and you'll already be a long way ahead of a a lot of people in your quest for healthy eating habits.

-Avoid soda: soda has a TON of sugar and junk in it. It's absolutely no good for you. Make avoiding this unhealthy beverage a routine, and you'll be off to a great start.

-Avoid fast food: whenever it is at all possible, avoid fast food. It's fast for a reason, and that's because it's bad for you. A little in rare intervals will not hurt you, but it won't help you either. It's best to just avoid it altogether. 

-Limit the amount of bread, pasta, etc. that you consume: These foods are not inherently unhealthy, but they do pack in a lot of carbohydrates, so go easy with them.

-Avoid butter and buttery foods: again, they have a lot of fat. Use sparingly. 

-Get your fruits and vegetables: fruits and vegetables are extremely healthy for you, so it's essential that you got large quantities of them daily! Also, they have almost no fatty properties, so when it comes to oranges, peaches, bananas, carrots, lettuce, broccoli etc, eat away!

Once again guys I wish you the best of luck, and thanks for reading!
