does anyone really eat healthy

I try to eat healthy sometimes and try to find healthier alternatives! I watch Dr. Oz sometimes and get some pointers about healthy recipes and foods that are low in calories and fat!

I can't afford to eat healthy but if someone has a way a poor student can eat healthy I'm all ears

I try to eat healthy by eating foods with fiber and at least one vegetable a day.Also drink 6 to 8 oz of water.Koolaid always throws me off no matter how I diet it has more calories than I realized.

Eating healthy is really about being simple and eating more veggies, fruits and whole grains. Avoiding processed food is one way to start eating healthy. Just simple changes  like drinking more water, cutting out soda and switching to whole grains can help.

We eat very healthy at our house.  We cook a lot of fresh vegetables and very little red meat.  We eat bison when we are red meat hungry! It's great!  Lots of fish, turkey and chicken.  It's actually hard to find a healthy meal in a restaurant.  For those who are trying to lose weight, count your calories.  Keep a calorie log and you won't believe how the calories in each bite add up by the end of the day!  Eating healthy won't drop the pounds alone.  You have to exercise to burn off the stored fat!  It's not an easy task, but so worth it to have a healthy body.

I agree with counting calories. I use an iphone ap where I have a set daily goal for calorie intake and I can just enter everything I eat and it adds it all up for me. I like it because it allows me to splurge once and a while and eat things that aren't necessarily healthy, but seeing how much of my daily calories those things absorb helps me to avoid eating them too often.

If you eat out at all, something I always do is look up the menu ahead of time and check out the calorie information before I go. That way I can pick out exactly what's the best option without trying to guess what seems healthy while at the restaurant.

I have a hard time sticking to diets and eating healthy. Most of the things I like are fattening or bad for you. I've been eating less lately but not really healthier.

It's getting almost too expensive to eat healthy!  Fresh fruits and vegetables are outrageous at our local markets.

Absolutely, nutrition and health go hand in hand.  Just read a book called The China Study that was very eye opening to the foods that we eat and how they effect disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.  What I took from it is that animal based foods are killing us.

Not really to much, I don't know I just cook, I think I am a good cook, but I don't know with butter and stuff I put into stuff, at one time I didn't eat meat. I am sitting here eating organic crackers with flax seed, sea salt,  sunflower oil, wheatflakes, only cuz it was 25 cents for the whole box. Used to buy alfalfa sprouts and multigrain bread, and lots of vegetables, but now there is so much food scare that alfalfa sprouts and such, you don't know what is or what is not healthy.
