At age 59, I'm at the weight I was in my 20's before I had children. At one time when I was in my 30's when my kids were little, I weighed 55 lbs more! Eating healthy and exercising is what it takes. Not to say I don't ever indulge in unhealthy foods. I sometimes eat pizza and I've had ice cream a couple of times this summer (I don't keep it in the house so that I have to go out for it). <br /><br />Otherwise, my basic eating habits are lots of vegetables and fruit (all organic), lean meats, limited legumes (I don't digest them well) nut butters (with no added sugar or salt or bad oils), healthy whole grains, nuts, organic eggs, unsweetened almond milk for my smoothies. I avoid hydrogenated oils (especially soybean and vegetable), food colorings, artificial ingredients, excess sodium, pre-packaged foods, MSG, etc. Basically, if you eat food in their whole "real" form, you're good. If it's made in a factory and/or has ingredients you can't pronounce - it's not food! ;-) Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-48956563856200826752021-09-16T12:59:42.040-04:002021-09-16T12:59:42.040-04:00I do everything you mentioned…. some of the time. ...I do everything you mentioned…. some of the time.

It is hard when you are on the go to grab or eat the right foods sometimes. With now developing stones I have to really watch what I eat especially my salt intake. Good tips. Have a great evening. xoxo KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-57935256117605300212021-09-15T12:22:56.654-04:002021-09-15T12:22:56.654-04:00Guilty as charged!

When you're tired or hungry you want to grab something and EAT and it will usually be the wrong foods if they are handy. I keep healthy snacks easy to get to and the potato chips in the lower drawer (one of my weaknesses!) Thanks for the good info. ~Lavender Dreamer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06298191144517740164noreply@blogger.com
