It truly is lifestyle,not diet that keeps you healthy.
We've changed how we eat,though I do backslide a bit...chocolate...
I rarely drink sodas now.Funny since I quit drinking them,I don't crave them and they taste nasty to me now.
I try not to eat processed foods, I do eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and even some meats too. No frying,I'm not much of a fried foods person though... I don't eat as much breads,do like to snack on Cocoa Pebbles though. I'd rather snack on bananas,cherries or other fruits. I hardly crave pizza since I quit drinking sodas...
Can't remember the last time I ate potato chips.
All I can say is the anti-trans fat was a wonderful revolution,once restaurants and potato chip manufacturers quit using it,the food tasted awful!
The same thing that made me quit eatting candy bars and junk food,they made it taste bad! (No will power).
Crisco,haven't used it in 10 years...to cook with,works great for mold release in concrete casting! Haven't eaten a McDonalds or Wendy's hamburger in 20 years,though I do have a weakness for those Steak and Shake burgers.....
Overall,I eat much better now,in the last couple of years,due to will power. I look at my folks,they have a horrible junk diet and I don't want to end up as unhealthy as they are. Luckily they have my husband and I to take care fo them.
We don't have that luxury,we have to stay healthy for our future and our fluffs' futures...
If you think of it was a diet,you won't stay on it,think of it was a lifestyle, flexible and long term w/ a tiny backslide once in a while...
