Health knowledge made personal
Eating is not meant to be a difficult experience. On the contrary, it should be enjoyable and satisfying. Part of the problem today is that we have too many experts insisting that we eat only this way or that, that we believe we must be thin to be happy, and that we have become emotionally and physically dependent on foods that in large quantities are not good for us. Three of my books, THE RULES OF "NORMAL" EATING, NICE GIRLS FINISH FAT, and THE FOOD AND FEELINGS WORKBOOK all help people with eating difficulties learn to eat more normally and enjoyably.

A question I have wondered for a while is how difficult is eating healthy for an individual? Exercise is not as difficult, it’s just being motivated enough to do it. In my honest opinion, I think eating healthy is really difficult because a lot of us are busy people, and eating the right foods are not as convenient as eating the foods that are readily available. Also, if there are healthy foods readily available, it’s hard to come by and costs a lot more.
For me, I really try to plan the rest of the week as far as snacking and lunch at work because I spend a lot of time at my desk. Salads with lean protein, sandwiches with wheat bread and thin sliced meats, fruit and sugar free snacks are the foods that I’ve been consuming lately. Recently, I’ve decided to find something new at Whole Foods, since its a mecca of healthy eating, and its fun finding new things.
How difficult is eating healthy for you, and what are your healthy eating habits?
