Nova Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I don't follow diet food routine as of now but the pandemic and constant lockdowns kind of make it harder for me to stay on current diets. And I am focusing on the new habit changes and also health changes that I have to do for food. I am looking for advice on what type of food is good during season wise, like what's good in winter and what can be safely consumed during the summer. Do you follow any such healthy routine? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandraJoi Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I just focus on eating Real Food. I don't believe in diets as while they can be good for short-term, one needs to make a lifestyle adjustment in order to maintain the weight loss & health benefits. I eat a lot of organic foods. I feel I am healthier that way without all the additives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be long term plans that are healthy for your body, not just a shock to it that often results in missing nutrients. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A diet can be useful to get a jump on losing weight & especially for health reasons. But people have to think long-term. Cutting out sugar can be a wonderful start. There are sugar substitutes out there. Stevia & MonkFruit are popular. MonkFruit is a 1:1 ratio for sugar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been seeing monkfruit all over the place for a sugar substitute. It is actually a pretty cool fruit with a neat history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyng Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 No, but I'm not exactly in shape, so I feel like I should 😛 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't exactly cheap, but it is slowly showing up. On 8/9/2022 at 2:07 PM, Kyng said: No, but I'm not exactly in shape, so I feel like I should 😛 . I always try to maintain a logic that diets help when you feel they will help. Being the proper weight is great, but feeling healthier from eating better can really change your daily life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
