Healthy Meals, Healthy Eating


What are the most important benefits of eating healthy meals?


Diet and food nutrition health is the foundation upon which a healthy body weight is maintained and the basis for adequate diet weight control.

Not only will a healthy eating diet help you to lose weight, eating the right foods will help you maintain a healthy weight body mass index (BMI).

It never fails to amaze me, the number of women who will say they are trying to lose weight by starving themselves throughout the day. Yet when hunger really bites they reach for the nearest unhealthy foods to snack on.

This is of course far more damaging to thier diet loss weight goals than if they sat down to regular healthy meals or healthy snacks. You should be aiming to consume three healthy meals each day. That is breakfast, lunch and an evening meal.

You can of course snack in between meals. Health-ful Snacking is a healthy habit that will stave off hunger and stop you from picking on unhealthy nibbles.

Healthy meals that will ensure both food nutrition health, at the same time you're losing excess body weight, will consist of a wide range of health-ful foods, as part of your overall healthy eating plan.

In a nutshell, a healthy balanced diet - such as the Mediterranean Diet will consist of health-ful foods including fibre-rich whole grain food products, lean meats, low fat dairy products and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables - remember 5-a-day.


Fibre-rich foods such as brown rice, brown bread, whole grains etc., will not only keep you feeling full, you will also eat far less. You want to avoid refined food products such as white bread, cakes, pastries that will not satisfy you but leave you craving for more.

The way in which you prepare healthy meals is also an important feature of your overall diet weight control or or healthy weight plan. Try grilling or roasting lean meats as opposed to frying. Drain any excess fat from roasting pans etc.,

Fats are an important part of your healthy eating diet and need to feature in your healthy meals.

You will however need to ensure that the fats you consume are not of the saturated type but comes from healthy sources such as fish, avocado, nuts and the likes of - olive oil.


While all fats are fattening, if you minimise your intake of harmful saturated fats in favour of those outlined above, you will make a significant contribution to both your dietary needs, as well as helping your overall health fitness and weight loss diet goals.
