Question

currently i am doing something for school, in health class. i decided to give up junk food for a whole week. what kind of foods can i eat that are healthy?

Answer 1

GOOD PROJECT. you will improve your health and increase your life span. This is a good healthy diet for maintaining health and good weight.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

Answer 2

You can gain weight by eating too much of even the best food for you. It's all about portion control. But cutting out junk food or at least minimizing it to an occasional treat is a huge help.

Answer 3

Fruits and vegtables! That's as healthy as it gets. Try things like carrots, celery sticks, apples, ect. Or even a simple salad. A chef salad fills me up quickly. You can add something to dip the vegtables in like ranch dressing, but be careful not to go overboard with it. Good luck!

EDIT: As for drinks, water is the best. Maybe a few fruit juices, but, again, water IS the best.
