Starting to make that change - tomorrow!
I am typing this on the final day of the month, September 30th. Tomorrow, on October 1st, I am starting fresh with more healthy eating. To do that, I have bought a few ingredients that - hopefully - is gonna take me down a path of more healthy eating.Change will not happen over night, but over several months. I don't expect to be a changed man tomorrow, just because I have started eating more salad and vegetables. The first thing I have to stop eating is chips. I eat way too many of them, but they're an easy thing to eat, but not very healthy or filling, so they have to go.
The next thing on my list: stop drinking so much soda. Switch it for water or flavored water. This step is undoubtedly going to be the hardest step, because I'm addicted to coke. Not the powder, but coca cola. I have been drinking it for over 35 years, so kicking the habit completely is going to be VERY hard - but very rewarding, in the end. Hopefully that will see an improvement on my overall body, as well as on my wallet. I bought 5 crates today, which sat me back 565 kroner, or about $80.
Every day at work, I drink 4 cans. The plan is to slowly bring that number down to 0. Some people might be thinking "What about diet soda? Isn't that better?".. I have heard somewhere that diet soda is worse than regular soda, but I am not sure if that's true or not. I might have to ask a nutritionist about that.
But - starting tomorrow, I will begin my quest for a healthier lifestyle. It's gonna be hard, but rewarding in the end!

Protein and fats are good. Then veggies.
Carbs and sugars are bad.
BUT if you feel the urge to eat something like a piece of cake do it. Otherwise you will never fill that craving.
Eater is good as long as it is plain. Dairy is a toss up.
If it is weight loss just calculate the calories and burn more than you take in.
You can find those online. Start at a five pound loss setting. If you can hit that then move another five.
Intermittent fasting helps. 16 hour fasts, mostly before bed so sleep takes up about eight of those hours.
Have fun and NEVER be depressed if you gain some back. But never play the ounce a day weigh thing.
Way too easy to get depressed.
Nuts are good, watch the salt and peas and beans.
Seed oils are bad, Canola and Sunflower. Hard to find good Olive oil but good Coconut oil is pretty easy.
