WE’VE BEEN ON a bit of a health buzz lately.
We’ve asked about your eating habits here and the difference between permaculture and organics here.
Now we want to know – how healthy are your eating habits?
Before you get going, we’ve rounded up a few healthy eating tips we’ve picked up in our extensive research.
We all know about getting our five-a-day in, but it can be hard to consume that much fruit and vegetables in one day, so our first tip is all about sneaking additional goodness into your diet so you can get to five-a-day in no time at all.
Another way to get on track with making healthier choices is to prepare your food in advance. We found this video prepping a week’s worth of food for two people in about two hours – which we will definitely try some day…definitely.

All these stories about food, health, drink and losing weight is given me an awful craving for a chipper and a pint…
Monday pints are the best.
So are Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday to be fair..
and with that cracking sun out there hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I am actually wanting one now haha
Everything in moderation ;)
discrimination against Friday, Saturday and Sunday pints must stop
Just polished of,two pop tarts reading this article.
I try to stick to the 4 main food groups, candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup
I heard somewhere that if you want to lose weight take a look at your liquid calories ie soft drinks, coke, alcohol etc.. I think that’s why a lot of us are carrying a few extra kgs..
I eat pretty healthily most of the time. But the food in that video just looks sad and bland. I would die of boredom if I ate that food all day every day. You can eat healthily without relying on bland chicken + steamed veg. Looking at her meals is actually making me depressed right now.
Monday to Friday is the easy bit if you bring food to work. The weekend is when it all falls apart and a takeaway of some sort is needed!
Clark, that’s my modus operandi…..try to be good during the week and bring something halfway decent to work for lunch and not be tempted to buy rubbish….weekends are a free for all, both with the food and the drink! You only live once and there has to be some enjoyment in it, otherwise you’d be better off dead.
If she microwaved that barramundi in my office she would end up in the microwave
There’s a special place in hell for those who microwave fish in an office environment
I think if you didn’t eat nutritional meals as a youngster yourself & I’m not talking tofu & steamed broccoli, but generally some form of meat, veg & potato, you’re less likely to consume those meal types in later life. This is creating the chain of bad eating that we are currently witnessing.
“If Mom & Dad don’t eat veg, why should I?”
Once again a Journal poll is completely unrepresentative of reality
Reality is subjective – the poll represents what people think they do. Most people probably think they “make an effort”….
To some this might mean having a diet coke with their big mac, or reducing their weekly alcohol intake from 20 pints to 15.
Whereas to others it could mean eating salads every day and having the odd bar of chocolate here and there :)
I’m going to get the bike out today.
I am vegan and know my intolerances. I havn’t been sick for years. The doctors say I am too healthy ;)
I don’t think so… You seem to be suffering an awful dose of righteousness.. Bad case of it..
beats being obese
Too healthy ?? Is that a thing ? And a doctor actually said that to you ??
that was a joke. hence the wink.
I’m not vegan….I’m far from obese.
I often wonder what vegans eat, and then I realise they feed off attention.
If there was an option for every now and then i would thick that.
What a terrible video on so many levels, especially dietry! How about recommending a more scientific & factual based documentary like ” Forks over Knives”?
Bullshit documentary badly researched dont bother its very misleading
Slimming world diet all the way.
Ballybrado porridge & blueberry or strawberry, delicious and slow energy release.
The truth is I felt so trapped with all those diets I tried before. Its like every single time I was let down because I just ended up gaining the weight back again.
I was so busy with work as a full-time nutritionist and full time mom to boot; that it seemed there was no plan that fit my busy schedule and needs.
Well, its been over two months and I’m not looking back. I have now lost over 25 pounds and continue to lose. I think I’ll have to slow down or I’ll be too skinny! I’ve found the key to rapid weight loss without the dangers of pills.
