subject: Body Building Guide: On Diets [print this page] "Diet" is a word that is only second to that of exercise when it comes to hatred by many people. But, here, we aren't talking about a diet to lose weight. We aren't talking about a diet that you will go on to lose weight and then come off of later.
What you need to accomplish through a diet is to train your body to eat healthily. You need a diet that is actually a way of eating, not a temporary thing but a permanent thing.
Although that sounds even worse, dieting is something that is simple to do healthily even if you can't live without certain foods. You can do it even when you are in too much of a rush and don't have time. And, you can do it with lots of favors that you AND your children will enjoy.
Don't think about a diet that's taxing, troublesome, limiting or boring. Think of your diet as being free, open, full of taste and adventure, with all of the comfort that you want and need, too.
The foods that you need play a significant role on your health. Foods are the fuel that your body requires to do a good job at the tasks that you ask it. In our machine look at the way that food works, the food that you consume is the fuel that your machine needs.
If you don't give it quality food, it won't perform the right way. Have you ever gone to put gas into your car and gotten to a really bad gas station where the fuel wasn't high quality or even up to standard? It slows your car down. You don't get the gas mileage that you are used to and you may even need to perform more maintenance on your car than you usually need to do.
In the way of your body, healthy food is just as important. If you consume the wrong foods all of the time, your body will not be able to perform as well as if you gave it the highest quality foods.
