Eating for Balanced Living.

Posted on March 23, 2011 by admin

I have been eating more than usual these past days. It was my son’s birthday yesterday and that would explain why. We have a few pieces of cupcakes left and I have been exercising tremendous self-control to not eat those. Of course, I can always take oxy elite pro or something similar. But as always, I will try to go the healthier way.

Anyway, I came across this healthy eating plan from the internet. Seeing dark chocolate on #3 made me so happy.

The Balanced Life eating plan

There are 3 categories of food you want to focus your diet on-
1. lean protein- lean chicken, pork, beef, low-fat string cheese, low-fat yogurt

2. smart carbohydrates, otherwise known as whole grains- whole grain crackers, brown rice, popcorn, whole grain pasta & breads

3. good fats MUFAS, monounsaturated fatty acids- almonds, avocado, walnuts, olives and olive oil, even dark chocolate!

These should be a foundation for your *balanced* diet.

Then add… several fruits and unlimited vegetables to get the additional minerals and vitamins you need.
