Healthy Diet Tips

“My diet has always been pretty consistent, I have never deprived myself of foods that I enjoy, rather I eat them in moderation.  My eating habits changed when I reached the age of 35.  I now watch my carbohydrate intake, I have dramatically cut back on eating bread and pasta. Now I eat a lot of protein rich foods.

I typically eat a small breakfast, like a nutrition bar and a cup of tea.For lunch I eat a salad, then around 3 o’clock I have a nutrition bar for a snack.  I consistently eat some type of fish for dinner, my favorites are: salmon, halibut, sea bass, snapper and tuna. The final tip I have is to eat the real thing!

I feel that your body knows how to process real butter, sugar, salt etc…so I think it is perfectly fine to eat those items! I feel that you should be able to eat what you like, the main thing that you should focus on is controlling the amount that you are eating.” – DC

  1. Add more fun to your life - do things you enjoy and enjoy what you do.
  2. Get enough sleep and rest - your body must recharge and discharge tension.
  3. Express your feelings - unexpressed emotions are the seeds of stress, pain and illness.
  4. Laugh often - laughter is a great tension breaker and it enhances the immune system.
  5. Exercise - regular exercise is a great way to relieve tension, increase energy and improve your mood; find an activity you like and do it often.
  6. Love more - learn to use things and to love people, instead of the other way around.
  7. Eliminate self-pity - you may get sympathy for a while, but soon you will get avoided.
  8. Develop meaningful relationships - it is important to have good friends in whom you can confide and find support; it is also important to be a true friend.
