Just say it is New Year's Eve and you are making a New Year's Resolution to eat more healthily.
What would that mean to you?

I’d drop the “Five Second Rule” to two and a half seconds.

...fresh fruits and veggies, nothing fried, pizza only on special occasions and then only one slice, plenty of home made soup, red meat only occasionally, zero processed foods...and I only drink water with my meals...

I don't think that it's wholly a matter of intake and/or exclusion, as much as it is a matter of balance.
We all know what the good things are. Eat them.
We all know what the bad things are. Eat them, too, in moderation. The psyche, also, needs to be healthy.
Food sustains us, and provides energy. Use the energy!
Don't overdo ... or deny. (I have, yet, to define "overdo," when it comes to wine. Some things can be a challenge.)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i have to put a stop to that. it's not about do's and don't's but about GO'S and WHOA'S.
what good is it to live solely on celery? what are you anorexic? not one of those people who are unfortunate to suffer from an eating disorder is truly happy so you might as well have a scoop of fudge ripple.
it's all about portion control.
way back when, when there was no such thing as lite mayonnaise, no one was really obese as they are today. we had some people but it was just body type and large bones/wideness i call it. then we supersized everything and everybody got their own 'adult happy meals' i have never understood that. mc Donald French fries make my throat feel like i have cotton balls in it.
still about portion control and about even then, lighten up on the bread/'grain'.

I have to disagree with both of those approaches to healthy eating and proposes a sensible third option. Instead of classifying foods as to their ingredients and whether they are fats proteins carbs good/bad processed etc, it is to have food that you can eat 1. Always...fruit, veges cooked and raw as salads and wholegrain cereals beans and pulses rice water tea 2. Often...nuts bread dairy fish white meat eggs 3. Sometimes...red meat, fried foods, fruit juice, non fruit dessert (cakes pies biscuits)coffee 4. Rarely...processed meats, take away food (that is not healthy sandwich type or sushi or salad) burgers, hotdogs, ready made meals, huge restaurant meals full courses. Alcohol and soft drinks. Of course portion control still comes into it butt the smaller portions should be in the latter categories. |

Drink 8 glasses of water a day to go with my 8 hours of sleep a day. As it is, getting 8 of either is a rare occurrence.

Pulses are things like Beans, Lentils, Chickpeas, Dry Peas, Quinoa and Buckwheat. I agree on the quality of the bread, butt I think that bread gets a bad rap, and is mostly a wholesome food and I don't agree with this gluten free nonsense unless you are a diagnosed celiac. I also feel that butter and cheese gets an overly bad rap, though portion control is key I guess. |

so, njtotx, what do you have to contribute? Wrote this 5 years ago. Need to go back to what I was doing then. Even though I do many of the same things, much of the weight returned. |

What others have said lots of vegies, little less fruit(has too much sugar), watch the red meat. I also think being conscience of family medical history plays a part. If you have a history of diebetes, blood pressure, etc makes a bit of a difference in sugar/salt intake-more so than usual. However, never deprive yourself, because that can lead to bingeing.
