TIPS ON EATING OUT

SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD TO EATING HEALTHY

One of the big problems we face when wanting to eat right is going out to a restaurant and eating right. Habits are hard to break, especially when you are used to ones that are tasty.


Here are a few tips to maintaining a healthy diet when eating out:

Think of your evening out as an adventure where you are going to try something new and improved for the new and improved you.

Decide ahead of time that you are not going to eat anything fried or with sugar or additives.

Avoid drinking ice water or other liquids during your meal, which slows digestion, by drinking plenty of water before leaving.

Don't be shy to ask your waitperson about ingredients.

Definitely stay away from MSG (you should support the petition written by John Erb, the author of The Slow Poisoning of America at www.regultaions.gov who wants this stuff out of our foods and rightly so as it is connected with Obesity, ADHD, Autism and many more chronic dis-eases) or Aspartame which was known by the FDA to cause brain cancer in mice, but got passed thanks to promotions and hiring, and a change of political leaders...ahhh the power of money! This is all information you can hear about watching the videos from www.TheHealignPraxis.com

Chew your food slowly. A great secrete to eating less at restaurants, and an important aspect of healthy eating anytime, is chewing every bite slowly. A lot of digestion happens in your mouth first...so chew, chew, chew and chew some more before swallowing. The food should be a paste before it goes down.

Put the fork down on the plate after every bite so we wouldn't shovel the food in our mouths. Next time watch how most people eat...unbelievable!

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE CONTINUES

I went out last night to a Thia restaurant with my daughter, who has a fatty liver at age 23...a fast growing problem in America....and we ordered steam-style dishes instead of friend and did not have the appetizer nor the famous but very sugary Thia ice tea. We also substituted the white rice for brown rice, ate slowly and consciously. I said a little prayer before consuming.

The meal was great and we felt full sharing two dishes between us. We even had left-overs. WOW! I know we are both doing great and will continue to do so.

I did wake up last night with mild asthma, which I was able to control using acupressure points. I and am still balancing water intake as I felt dehydrated this morning. I do notice that my love for coffee is gone. I don't like how it tastes anymore. The pain in my jaw and shoulder is 85% gone, but my lower back hurts which is partially due to 3 hours of uber-cleaning my daughters apartment and slight constipation from radical change of diet.

Things are moving slowly as my body adjusts. My body is telling me that I've been dehydrated for a long time and much of the water I'm consuming needs to be rationed for repair...I guess elimination is somewhere down the list for my body at this time. The WATER CURE claims that most healthy people need 8 to 10 glasses of water daily just to maintain bodily function, certainly more if you are sick.

More later...please add any comments. I want to hear from you!
