No Gimmicks Here

It always baffles me that people eat junk food, remain inactive and expect not to have waning health. It takes the doctor diagnosing diabetes or some other life threatening ailment for most people to make any sort of change in their lives.

One of the funniest things to me is when people say they are going on a diet, I say funny because this "diet" usually is unreasonable and for the most part unsustainable. I don't believe in diets. I believe in lifestyle changes. Whether you are a meat eater or a vegetarian your diet should be healthful and have moderate portions.

One of the worse things people can do is to try gimmicky "diets" to lose weight. These lose weight fast schemes only set people up for failure and alter self esteem. The key to health is simple: eat less, move more, drink water, eat mostly fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes and decrease red meat.

Stop with the gimmicks and start making healthful choices, your life depends on it.

What choices will you make today to sustain your health?
