Helpful hints with your diet

Just some quick, easy helpful ideas for cutting out the unhealthy in your day to day diet.

Try to work on reducing the amount of trans fats you eat (transfats are found in baked goods, snacks, and other processed foods that contain hydrogenated oils).  Avoid saturated fats found in meats, chicken with skins left on, process meats and foods and WHOLE-FAT dairy products.  Also reduce eating highly refined carbs like sugar, white flour, white rice, white bread, cookies, candies etc.

What you should be including into your diet are more of monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, canola and peanut oil, nuts and avocados.  Also healthy fats such as polyunsaturated fat from seeds, nuts and whole grains and fish.  Choose to eat whole-grains, like whole wheat bread and other whole grain products such as oats, brown rice, barley etc.

A healthy diet does not exclude fats, carbs or any other specific foods.  You need to find the plan that works for you and the right amoun to food to keep you satisfied and healthy.

Don't forget to move everyday...walk, run, jog, dance, take the stairs, ride a bike, jump some rope...keep active, keep healthy, keep alive.
