What are reactions to eating healthy & unhealthy?
830254
Eating healthy reflects on complexion, hair , nails etc. You stay in good health and are bubbling with energy.\n\nEating unhealthy causes a lot of problems. You may become obese eating junk, unhealthy foods. This in turn will lead to other problems like blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, joint problems, breathing difficulty all due to the extra weight.\n\nOn the other hand if one eats less one can become anaemic and have weak bones if they eat a diet lacking the required nutrients.\n\nBoth kind of unhealthy diets will make one's skin look dull. It may also start breaking out, become too oily or dry. The hair becomes dry and starts to fall whereas nails get brittle and break easily.

I think being concerned about health is good, but we seem to be obsessed with our weight.  Skinny does not always equal healthy.  This is the lesson we should learn.  It's possible to be a little on the overweight side, but also be healthy.  As long as we have a healthy diet and are exercising regularly, we shouldn't worry about anything else.

im in exactly the same position, 12 weeks pregnant, and snacking on crap. I spend ages trying to think of something a fancy for dinner and end up having a sandwich, because everything makes me feel ill. I hate fruit and veg but i try get my 5 portions a day by drinking 100% fruit juice (pineapple) and forcing an apple or 2 down. Ive asked my friends who have had babys and asked whether they ate healthy during pregnancy and they didn't either, and their babies are fine, so try not to worry to much! (although i know its hard)

It's psychological, sensory or learned.\n\nI am very bad for that.  I do not eat left overs because my psyche can't handle what spoilt food looks like and any notion that the food is old turn sme off even though it looks fine.\n\nOn the other hand any odd thing about food turns me off and I cannot continue to eat it.  If the meat should be pink and its a faded pink, I cannot eat it.  If it looks, smells or feels bad or odd I cannot eat it.\n\nMy husband will eat food 5 days later and that thought makes me sick.  I cannot eat rich food - creamy, expensive dark cholcolate - it i stoo rich for my senses.\n\nI do not eat pork because the woman I grew up with as a child, taught me that pork and shellfish is evil. I haven't lived with her in over 20 years and I still cannot bring myself to eat bacon or any pork or shellfish.\n\nMy son has autism and he has major sensory issues to food.  He lives on hotdog and macdonald's french fries and chocolate milk.

As a former health educator, I have the privilege of letting you know that the two questions you tied together are separately the two most misunderstood aspects of health facing the general public.  But relax, the answers are fairly simple.\n\n  Question #2:  in general the more you live like a healthy young animal, the longer and more exhuberantly you will live like a healthy young animal.  Let me explain!\n\n  The University of California at Berkeley did a study in 1976 that has often been imitated but never bested.  They found, I think, a thousand old people that they considered to be healthy, energetic and mentally sharp.  Then they extracted seven behaviors that they discovered these people tended to share.  Not a surprise in the bunch . . .  When I worked at Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Kansas I created a little pamphlet about the "Seven Golden Rules of Health" and added "the eighth golden rule is to always buckle up when you drive or ride in an automobile,"  the special seven were:\n\n1. 7-8 hours sleep nightly\n2. eat a good breakfast every day\n3. maintain a normal weight\n4. eat 3-4 meals daily\n5. no tobacco or drugs\n6. light or no use use of alcohol\n7. regular vigorous exercise\n\n  This is only mildly interesting, but then UC Berkeley did a marvelous thing.  They took their seven golden rules and extrapolated them into the younger public over a very long study.  The result was powerful stuff!  A man of 55 who practiced 6-7 of the golden rules had the same actuarial age as a man of 20 who practiced only 0-1 of the rules.  In other words the two men might be expected to die on the same day!!!  From several separate studies, I can also respond to your "question #3" and say that unequivocably those oldsters who enjoy frequent sex always test out as more happy and healthy than those who get less or none.  OK, let's look at question #1, losing weight.\n\n  The main things you need to know are:  A.  Diets and diet foods don't work, and dieters tend to gain weight over time  B.  Eating healthy food and getting sufficient exercise is the key  C. Losing weight quickly tricks many people into making themselves very unhealthy (high protein- low carb diets in particular) by dehydration and loss of muscle mass). It is more important to get fit slowly and build muscle mass since each pound of muscle metabolizes six pounds of fat every year.  Lose weight by getting fit, looking better and building more muscles.\n\nA very recent study of successful weight losers came up with five main differences between those who lost a lot of weight and kept it off for over seven years; and those who failed to lose weight; and those lost but then regained it all back or more.  The successful weight losers did the following:   1.  Ate healthy:  more fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains/fewer heavily-processed foods; fewer calories; less fat  2.  Monitored their weight and waist at least once weekly  3.  Very physically active  and 4.  Ate a healthy breakfast every day  (typically whole grain cereals and a couple fruits like bananas and apples) 5.  The successful weight losers did NOT lose weight as fast as those who eventually failed to lose or as those who lost weight and then gained it back!!  Good luck, may you live ultra-long and prosper, you slender young animal, you!

Eating only one kind of thing is a dieting DISASTER. You will get bored and abandon the plan. Moreover, you will probably be deficient in nutrients.\n\nCooking does not make food unhealthy. You can eat cooked vegetables just fine and lose weight. The problem most people have is portion control. Many people also don't get enough exercise.\n\nlearn to balance. get enough exercise. eat sensibly and balance your proteins and carbs (that's right, carbs are GOOD for you). Losing weight and maintaining health are all about moderation, but moderation is something that we as a society have forgotten long ago.

Suggest you look up the DASH diet, for hypertension, or Mediteranian Diet for cholesterol.\n\nAs for unhealthy just look around at most college diets....

There is a saying, and it goes like this: Anything in excess is harmful. \n\nToo much of a good thing becomes bad. Too much food, medicine,  water and even too much oxygen is harmful. My advise is take things in moderation, including workouts. Living healthy and fit is good as long as it is pursued in moderation, not excessively or obsessively.

Lots of foods can do it. Orange and tomatoes are notorious. Also cut out too much sugar. And keep a journal and put in it anyhting out of the normal you eat and see the reaction.\n\nYoOu're pretty safe with something wholesome like oats.

yes, it is unhealthy, because you need to make sure that your food gets fully chewed and take some time to breathe in between bites.

It is hard to say why people do the things they do but I can speak from experience and from my medical & counseling training.  Your family is doing it for the same reasons you do some things.....they dont' think about it from your point of view. \n\n** Parents are from an era when eating hearty meals was our way of life.  Skinny didn't look good and If we had skinny children we as parents failed to adequately feed them.  We wer then thought of as a poor family.  We feel comforted when our children eat.  It makes us feel ike we have done our job.  However, most parents aren't always up on the latest events.  The increasing obesity is killing our children.  They are eating snacks and pop at an alarming rate causing "muffin tops" at an early age which can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle including early diabetes and high blood pressure and other complications. you don't want that fat to hang on your organs as you age.  You seemed to have thinned out a little.\n\n** You sound beautiful*** That is great well within the BMI index and looks healthy as well.  \nYou have to be happy with you,  and it is great you found someone who loves you for your current appearance and one I think you are happy with.  You need to worry more about changing hair styles and piercings than making your family happy about your body.  They should worry about there own health first.\nI would simply tell your mom you will eat when you are hungry and you appreciate her concern but to please not talk about your weight or eating habits anymore.  Trying to understand why people act or say things is truly a maturity issue.  If you can see it as your mom having concern for you, then you are well on your way to growing up nicely.\n\n\nGood Luck!

Keep in mind the following when dieting:\n\nDiets and changing your eating to healthy food choices can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.\n\nYou may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable. \n\nThis all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet. \n\nPlease learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:\n\nYou already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.\n\nP.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

Nothing. If you are happy about the way you are (and you are healthy) then don't listen to them.
