Diet the meaning of!

Ok so what does that big bad word really mean!
Here is what I found in some dictionaries......

Diet (nutrition), the sum of the food consumed by an organism or group.

Dieting, the deliberate selection of food to control body weight or nutrient intake

Definition of DIET
food and drink regularly provided or consumed, habitual nourishment, the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person or animal for a special reason, a regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one's weight “going on a diet”

diet /di•et/ (di´it) the customary amount and kind of food and drink taken by a person from day to day; more narrowly, a diet planned to meet specific requirements of the individual, including or excluding certain foods.

balanced diet one containing foods which furnish all the nutritive factors in proper proportion for adequate nutrition.

My definition, eating foods that contain the nutrition that I need to function through out the day. I eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. Breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack, dinner, a snack. You dont have to eat icky food, check out my recipe tab for some great, healthy recipes!

I eat healthy, its a choice I have made, do I miss not eating healthy NO, I get my sugar from fruits, (it realy does work), but there are occasions I have a treat. But if you really want to be healthy and stay healthy you have to eat well and exercise, and not be random about it, again it is a lifestlye to live this way one I have choosen to feel my best! So dont think of it as dieting think of is as eating to feel and be your best!

Motivation

I have a question for you, what is motivating you to change your lifestyle?
Is it health reasons, just because, or you want to feel better?
Whatever the reason is you need to make a plan, set goals for yourself.
Long term and short term goals are important for you to make this lifestyle change because it truly is a lifestyle change!

Remember your water!

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Always starving?

When did you eat last and what did you eat?
I find that if I eat breakfast and several more small meals throughout the day I am not as hungry if I skip meals or eat a couple of huge meals.
Make sure you eat nutrient rich foods that don't have a ton of calories.
I like oatmeal and berries for breakfast, then I have a snack of almonds and an apple before lunch.
And of course don't forget your water!
P.S.
my recipe page has lots of good recipes and will have lots more as I keep trying new ones!
