So...I've decided to go on a healthy streak in my life. Too much partying, drugs, etc lately out here in Tahoe haha. I'm gonna keep the drinking to a minimum, maybe once a week if at all, and eat super healthy. Anyone have any tips in terms of easy, healthy snacks to eat and ways to supress temptations to eat really bomb/unhealthy stuff? I was thinking stuff along the lines of baby carrots and ranch and shit like that. Gonna try to keep this going for a month, so if anyone has done the same, please share some advice or motivation.

Drink fuck loads of water and herbal teas.
And when you want to eat a biscuit or something think like "I could eat that and be hungry in 20 minutes or I can eat fuck loads of vegetables for the same calorie content and be full for a lot longer"

Just suck it up and don't eat shit.
Go for a run instead of eating junk.

Running may be out of the question, but taking my dog on more hikes is more likely. Fruit salads, tea, and more water are all good. Thanks! keep em coming.

Dont bother with ranch. If you want to go on a healthy streak to also look better, stick to a > 2000 calorie/day diet, make sure you exercise atleast once a day, even if you just go for a half hour bike ride or something. What Ive been doing is the hunter/gatherer diet, aka meats, veggies, fruit, berries etc. If you have to open a wrapper to eat it, dont. (not saying that all foods in wrappers are bad, but if you want to eat healthier). Drink TONS of water, and if you feel like your starting to get hungry, drink more, because thirst is easier to quench than hunger.

I started my "health streak" about 2-3 months ago, I try to go to the gym whenever possible but that sometimes turns out to be once a week and Ive noticed a huge difference in my body. Just be determined, focused, and disciplined and without a doubt you got this homie.

Good luck!

I've decided that I'm gonna do this too. I havent really done anything for exercise since lax ended, and I haven't been eating healthy too lately. Bad combo.

Also, drink tons of water (I keep a case in the back of my car so I always have some. Plus it saves money). Sounds odd but chewing gum helps too. Most pieces are like 5 calories. It will keep your mouth busy so you don't feel the urge to eat just because you're bored

1. eat a big breakfast, but not full of processed crap like poptarts and pastries, etc. Eat eggs, whole grains, and fruits/veggies. if you do this every morning your metabolism will be kickstarted and you will burn more calories throughout the day. this also helps to keep you feeling full until lunch. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

2. snack lightly between meals, this keeps your metabolism going. Eat stuff like fruit, i prefer apples, and almonds are also a great choice for a healthy snack. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

3. for lunch make sure to eat some good proteins like chicken or turkey, get your whole grains in and eat fruits and veggies. i usually make a pesto, turkey, lettuce, onion, tomato sandwich on whole grain bread with an apple on the side. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

4. You can probably guess what you need to eat for dinner from what i've written above. Make sure to eat good proteins such as chicken, eggs, whole grains, and milk. Don't load up on the carbs unless you know you are going to burn them quickly, because if you don't they'll just turn into fat. Make sure to load up on fruits and veggies. Also, eat a fuckin cookie if you want to eat a fuckin cookie, don't obsess about this too much just make sure to keep your diet consistent with good, healthy foods. It's gonna be hard at first but you will soon start to feel really good and eating well will become second nature to you. Good luck brother. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

Sorry or the dub post but one more thing:

Eating well really isn't as hard as you think. I think of it this way, make eating well a first priority, but make eating a second priority. Don't always shove food down your mouth, but when you do make sure its healthy.

eat fruit, its healthy and delicious. Also, celery is negative calories because its 0 calories and your body burns cals breaking it down. Salads good too, and multigrain cheerios are healthy and delicious
