Eat for HealthTo learn to eat for health, as opposed to eating for weight loss, you should start by keeping a journal. If you have not started a journal, do it now. First thing each morning, get out our journal and make a meal plan for the day. For each item in your plan ask yourself, “Does this promote health for my body?” Balance each of your 3 main meals with low fat protein, whole grains, fruits and/or vegetables, and fat free dairy. Don’t force yourself to eat foods you don’t like. There is enough variety in our food supply to allow you to have healthy foods that you enjoy. At first, count your fat grams, carbohydrate and protein grams. Pay attention to calcium and vitamins. Count calories. You will find much of this information on the food labels in the supermarket Record these values in your journal.
