I never know how to explain my way of eating to people because im not really a vegetarian, so it gets confusing and people always ask me.
The foods I eat are extremely simple. I dont eat anything that has been processed, or altered by man in any way. So pretty much raw fruits, raw veggies, and then tuna, shrimp and sometimes grilled chicken. But I never add anything to it, not even salt, and I dont eat cooked food, or food recipes, Its just..plain and simple healthy food, the way God made it. My main concern isnt avoiding animal products, but avoiding the chemicals and oils that are put into processed foods. I get tired of trying to explain it to everyone, and it seems to be similar to the raw food diet, but I hate to call it that because im not on a diet..It would be a lot more simple if I could just say "im a…. whatever-tarian" and leave it at that. So, does anyone know if there is a name for this or not?

thanks :)

I had never really eaten all that well in the past. But about 6 months ago, I changed my eating habits drastically… I live on a Vegan diet, and strictly organic foods. Since the change in my diet, I have noticed that when I started exercising again, it feels GREAT! It’s ecstatic! It feels like I am on drugs haha. Anyways, what I am asking is… Does healthy food really have this affect? Or was I just a lazy bastard who was ignorant to the beauty of exercise?

I am 30 years old and have always been thin, but within the past year have gained more weight than ever before! I am now up to 130, which is the heaviest I have ever been. I used to weigh around 120 or less and had no problem with weight. I do not have the money to buy expensive healthy food because I still live at home with my parents and am currently on unemployment. What are some easy, cheap ways to lose about 10-15 pounds?

you know how some people only eat like three or four different things and claim they will live to be a hundred? what do you think about that, also what is a cheap, awesomely healthy food daily diet.

So he just started playing a few weeks ago and during practice he seems like he does not have the energy to practice. I tried making sure he does not play to crazy on practice days, did not help. I am looking for a healthy food that has lots of natural energy for him to eat before practice.

I am currently finishing up my last semester of school in my hometown and anticipate moving out as early as the beginning of summer to continue somewhere else downstate. My parents can’t afford to support me much beyond some tuition help, but, living here has allowed me the luxury of eating healthier, if more expensive, foods. I run to stay in shape, and living at home saves me some money that I spend on supplements like protein powder – which, at for a ~1-2 month supply, can become a significant cost, besides the healthy food itself.
I worry that I may start to get out of shape, which is something that right now I take a lot of pride in being able to do – what are some good ways for me to be able to stay in shape when I move…provided that I will be on a much smaller budget for food, as well as being able to set time aside to exercise?

I know this question is boring but i really REALLY need some new ideas. What healthy food do you feed your toddler? My son eats the same thing all the time. He likes pasta with tomatoes, chicken (rarely), fish sticks, ravioli, vegetable pizza, and grilled cheese. His two favorite veggies are green beans and carrots, but he eats those every single day. And of course he will eat any fruit you put in front of his face. He also likes cheddar cheese sticks. He has a pretty good variety for breakfast so I’m not really worried about that.

I just feel like i am feeding him the same thing all the time. I just need new healthy ideas that a toddler would like. He doesn’t really like meat, which is fine with me, i just wish i could find something to replace the main part of his meal. Help me ladies!!…or gentlemen if there are any Mr. Moms reading this…

I’m 14, and I’m trying to eat healthier and maybe lose a little bit of weight. I’m not counting calories or obsessing; I just want to focus on being healthy and exercising more. Do you think this sounds like a healthy (general) meal plan?
Breakfast: a bowl of Puffins (it’s this low fat, all natural cereal from Trader Joe’s) with 1% milk and a banana.
Lunch: either a chicken Caesar salad with milk (if I buy from the school cafeteria) or, if I take from home: a chicken/turkey (either one) and veggie (lettuce, shredded carrots, tomatoes, red peppers…whatever) wrap (whole wheat wrap) with milk and an apple.
Snack: (after school) two clementines and a cup of green tea with milk.
Dinner: My mom is a really great cook, and she makes healthy food. We usually have things like whole wheat bread, brown rice, salmon, chicken, veggies, etc.

So, that’s kind of a general meal plan. Do you think it sounds healthy and how can I improve it? All suggestions would be welcome. Thank you =)
Sorry if all the parentheses notes are distracting…

My niece willing to go on diet. She tries every ways which included exercises and eating vegatables and healthy food only for two meals, but it does not do any better. Does anybody know a good diet medivation? Not the diet food or meal typ, but the medicine. Or anyone knows in doctors? We lived in Los Angeles and willing to travel as far as Orange County.

I am 5’8" 135 lbs, and I haven’t been taking care of my body lately. I would really like to clean out my system to help with my skin, digestive tract, and stamina, but I fear losing weight if I cut out such things as carbonated beverages that provide a good portion of my caloric intake. Are there any detox diets that can be followed without weight loss and healthy food substitutes that will sustain weight?
