Health and Fitness Blog

Great healthy eating quote I read this week from Jolie Bookspan on the Healthline fitness blog.

"Just as you can't go through red lights every time you just feel like it, or hit someone any time you just feel like it, you don't just eat anything you feel like it at any time. That is unhealthy. Some people say any denial is unhealthy. That is like saying you can just wet your pants when you feel like it. Self-control is cleaner in body and spirit"

Whenever you get the urge to eat something unhealthy, think about that quote. Are you wetting your pants far too often? You may not suffer public humiliation when you eat too much but the results will (eventually) catch up with you and show in public just as much when you put on more weight than is good for you.

If you eat a healthy diet you may wonder where you're going wrong if you don't lose weight.  After all we're always being told to cut out late-night snacks, cut out fat, cut out carbs (or whatever the latest diet guru advice is) if we want to drop a few pounds.
