I live a busy lifestyle. I am a full-time Real Estate Broker, Husband, Father, Chauffeur & Chef for my family. Having to quit eating cow's milk dairy due to an allergy I developed as an adult, I began to investigate the affect of food and drink on your health. I discovered that what you eat is the most important factor in good health. Here is a summary of how I changed my lifestyle. I was slow to adjust and it took a year for me to make all of the changes listed below. My best, recent success has been in the last seven weeks with the new lifestyle fully in place. Steve Jolly's Five New Rules For Healthy Eating
1. Eat approximately the same amount of food in 3 - 5 meals a day. Portion size should be moderate.
2. Your meals should mostly consist of equal portions of lean meat, fruits/vegetables and healthy fats. No cow's milk dairy. No wheat. I know...It sounds harder than it really is.
3. Drink mostly filtered water or something like vitamin water zero (water sweetened with stevia).
4. Exercise 45 minutes per day, 5X per week. A mix of interval training, weight bearing exercises and stretching. Meet me at the Green Hills Y or Get a trainer if you need help.
5. Cheat a little one day a week. It's not gonna kill you and just may keep you sane!
I will spend some time addressing the details of Rule #1 in my next post. Hope you Enjoy!
Good for you! I think rule number 2 should include part healthy carbs though (beans, brown rice, etc)
ReplyDeleteI do eat some healthy carbs like you suggested, but I include them in the veggie category. I mostly eat black beans, pintos and brown rice. I will add in more when I get closer to my meeting my goals.
