Healthy Eating

[Ant]

I'm interested in eating more healthy food than I currently do. I understand the obvious stuff like chips etc are bad - but what stuff is actually ok? What stuff should I be looking for in the ingredients to stuff - obviously less fat, but what about carbohydrates etc?? :confused:

I'm not a huge meat or fruit lover, but will eat any veg and most other things like rice and pasta.

What you're after is a healthy, balanced, diet. (http://www.homehealth-uk.com/medical/healthybalanceddiet.htm)

Hope this helps.

easier to read than it is to do ;)

I've been trying to "go on a diet" for a while now, and keep thinking "must get round to it":rolleyes: Problem is, when you start to realise whats actually good for you and how much of the stuff you eat already is bad - it makes you a touch dispondent :( drives you to alcohol and then you have another problem in its entirety ;) :D

hehe. I wouldn't have said I'm vastly unhealthly - my fav food is rice and pasta - are these good for you? (Having just eaten a hooge pasta bake for my tea :D)

Pasta can make you fat if you don't expend the energy.
At the end of the day, if you get some exercise, you can balance almost anything out - I know I did when I trained down the gym.

Generally, fresh is good. Proteins are under-rated. Alcohol is bad - that's why its so good ;)

I don't feel like exercise now - I'm quite comfy where I am. :(
