So many phrases become BUZZ PHRASES, and no one actually knows what they mean. Today I want to clear things up about "healthy eating" because frankly it has been a bit misconstrued. I read this awesome article about nutrition and I want to share the basics with you so we can all stop making this "healthy eating" thing so incredibly complicated and burdensome.
The article, by Ryan Andrews, is entitled "Healthy eating: Just what were you expecting?" and it goes into great detail about what "healthy eating" is NOT in order to convey what "healthy eating" is. I summarize the key points of the article below; if you would like to browse the full article, please let me know and I would be more than happy to forward it. :)
1. Healthy eating is NOT perfection; it’s doing your best with what you have.
2. Healthy eating is NOT calorie expertise; it’s paying attention to natural hunger and fullness cues.
3. Healthy eating is NOT science overload; It’s keeping things simple, following basic guidelines, and using common sense.
4. Healthy eating is NOT an escape; it’s fuel — no more and no less.
5. Healthy eating isn’t always delicious; it tastes good, sometimes.
6. Healthy eating is NOT a new identity; it is a authentic, gradual lifestyle change.
7. Healthy eating is NOT easy; it does get easier though.
8. Healthy eating is NOT endless food preparation; it is an efficient, investment in yourself. See my recent Facebook post about this.
9. Healthy eating is NOT restriction; it is integration and moderation with no feeling of deprivation.
So, do you feel a little better about "healthy eating" now?
