Healthy Changes for Healthy Weight

By Chris Jensen, January 12, 2010  |  Meet the Blogger  |  More Posts by Chris Jensen
Here's help to start developing healthier habits! Good health-and healthy weight-is about smart decision making. Rather than hearing about what NOT to eat or fad diets, listen to positive successes that are truly changing people's lives. Dr. Joel Fuhrman shares his experiences in helping people create health by aiming for optimal nutrition. He is a board-certified family physician, author and nutritional researcher who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutrition, and co-founder and chief medical officer of Eat Right America.

Setting up good habits is key if you plan to make a big change to your eating habits. Do it, and make it happen, you'll feel great!

Not to be preachy, but simply cutting either down, or out- Meat and animal fats makes a world of difference.

Processed foods are, well, hard to process. Go figure. Eat fresh foods, steamed, grilled, or lightly fried and your 10 steps ahead.

I work in a spot with great, in expensive restaurants all around. I try to take my own lunches but still eat the great turkey and gravy lunch, next store. Alas is there any hope for me?

It is interesting how one can eat food that actually makes you hungry. So many saturated fatty food dehydrate you.

Lots more info for those who want it at drfuhrman.com. I'm a member and the doctor is AMAZING. Those of us who follow his guidance call ourselves nutritarians.

Glad you touched on the fad diet. I know so many friends who have crashed and burned with these diets. It is hard to see them rise and fall emotionally.

It feels good to know other people are struggling with healthy eating.

I appreciate that the Dr. speaks about the importance of being healthy vs watching your weight. All to often people count their calories and set themselves up for failure.

I have the hardest time turning my habit trail around. I think I may have done it this year, however! Gym in the morning before breakfast- I have more energy throughout the day and less hunger for breakfast.

I think a diet which is primarily based on fruits, grains, and veggies is the way to go. It works for me at least!
