Healthy Eating – The Other Option For Weight Loss
Incorporating a healthy eating strategy is necessary when wanting to lose weight, Curvy Girl. You can work out all you like. And exercise is the perfect way to reshape the body and increase the metabolism while building a strong, firm curvy body but it does not give you an all-access pass to eating whatever you want. That’s not what healthy eating is all about.
What is healthy eating? Healthy eating is not about calorie counting. Healthy eating is a non-dieting method to creating firm curves and a way to lose loads of fat the healthy way.
Healthy eating may take a little longer, but then again how long has it taken you to lose the rest of the weight dieting?
Were you suffering?
Did you feel hungry all the time when you were dieting?
My personal training clients who have succeeded in losing the weight did it the natural way without any gimmicks. They trained with me 2-3 times a week and did some more movement on their own.
They also chose the healthy eating path. The transition is smoother when they completed their weight loss journey and needed to maintain. They just continued with their healthy eating plans and worked out still because finally it was a way of life.
It was part of what they wanted to do to maintain health and a part of their happiness plan.
So what were my personal training clients’ healthy eating plans? Well there seemed to be some differences but I also saw some very similar healthy eating habits from them.
So here are some healthy eating tips for you to follow and finally get that weight off and start being a healthy and firm Curvy Girl!
Healthy Eating Tips From My Successful Curvy Goddesses:
Skip the regular soda and artificial sweetened soda and limit your alcohol consumption. – I’m sure we can all agree that artificial sweeteners are not good for you. Studies have shown that brain tumors have grown in monkeys and mice. There have been strange diseases popping up from drinking soda.
Drink water instead and if you don’t like straight water then you can spike the water with lemon, lime, orange, or cucumber slices. Refreshing!
If you want to lose the weight you’re going to have to limit the alcohol consumption to a glass or two of dry wine per day. The sugary mixed drinks are out of the question but can be left for special occasions.
Eat only when you’re hungry. – My clients who succeeded didn’t starve themselves. They were never on any crazy diets. They just cut back on their portions and started making healthier choices. Just eating only when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re satisfied is simple and hard at the same time but in the long run will become a habit.
Consume healthy carbs. – Just because you’re working out doesn’t mean that it’s okay to go for that pizza or french fries. Go for a baked potato instead or yams. Eat a real meal having whole foods rather than the pizza.
Stop relying on sports bars. – There is some powerful marketing going on out there. And most of us have bought into the idea that sports bars are part of healthy eating plans. Not really. Look at the ingredients on the package.
Again you choose the healthy eating to lose weight rather than the dieting plan because you want to not only make a smoother transition over to a healthy lifestyle after you’ve reached your goal but you want to enjoy the weight loss and healthy process.
What is healthy eating? (when socializing with friends) – YES there is such a thing.
Here Are Some Healthy Eating Out Tips:
- Choose grilled and broiled rather than fried.
- When drinking alcohol choose dry wine over sweet dessert wine and beer.
- Skip the dessert but if you can’t pass it up then share it with a friend.
- Stick to a baked potato with salsa rather than french fries.
- Choose two appetizers rather than the entrée
- Still be conscious of your hunger gauge.
Healthy eating to lose weight is always hard Curvy Girl. I completely understand. The struggle is real. But it is always a choice Curvy Girl and you can do it wherever you are and whatever situation you’re in.
I have been there where you are. But understand that the shortcuts from dieting are not really shortcuts.
Dieting truly is a long road to heartache and more suffering with a disconnected relationship with your body.
Go for the lifestyle change. Go for the healthy eating plans, Curvy Girl. In the long run your relationship with yourself and with food will be a happier, healthy one.

Hi Maria,
That is so wonderful to know. Congratulations for making the decision to be healthy! YAY!!

Hi Maria! Thanks for thisi article. Especially the list of tips for eating out. It’s so helpful to have these things in mind when going out to eat. It’s so hard to say no to fries!! haha. But thank you so much. It’s great to have these as a resource.
I agree with Nate the tips for eating out are great. It is always hardest sticking to a healthy eating plan when you are out. There is always seems to be more temptation when you are out and about.

Eating healthy food is a good practice to stay healthy and more over including herbal products in your diet is a good approach. As it doesn’t have any side-effects.
An excellent post on weight loss on a topic that tends to take second place to exercise. But in my opinion healthy eating and exercising are equal. Some people think that by exercising they burn more calories so the effects of the high carb food they eat are lessened. But if we exercise, it is more important to give our bodies the nutrients it need to operate well!
Mary Cosedine recently posted..Green Coffee 1000 – What’s The Story?
I totally agree. A friend used to say it’s okay to eat unhealthy food because she is currently hitting the gym. This might be because it is really hard to control eating habits. I myself is guilty with the soda. I’m somehow addicted to it but I shifted to diet soda though I know regular and diet soda have not much difference, they are both unhealthy. I know, cutting back from these bad eating habits will all be worth it in the end.

Exactly. There’s so much shi… junk in soda. So called “diet” soda is even worth, what with all the additives and artificial sweeteners. Water all the way baby!

Try adding baked foods to your diet in place of fried ones. These come with lower oils and carbs, which can make you feel better during the day. You will find that you are far more energetic when you eat only healthily baked foods.
Excellent point. Just needs a bit of seasoning. Don’t be afraid of spices.
I agree wholeheartedly. To me, my diet decision is based on more than weight loss and calories. Those were definitely factors, but I settled on Paleo because it focuses on healthy and natural eating – to me that’s just as important of a consideration as anything else.
BTW, great blog Diane! Love what you’re doing.

I really detest the word ‘diet’ and ban it when working with my clients.
It’s all about changing your eating lifestyle, moderation and the 80/20 rule.
Eat heathy foods 80% of the time, and 20% – have what you fancy!

Hi,
Your article is great. I am health/body conscious. I eat lots of fruits, vegetables and do exercise with my exercising machine often but I tend to overeat at times that’s why I’m guilty. “Eat only when hungry and stop whenever we are satisfied” hahaha! I should really keep this in mind. Thank you for the tips.
Agreeable post and tips too.having healthy food is a good for health including herbal products in your diet is good to maintain your health.
Great article!! I’ve always been of the belief that no matter what diet strategy you use, it MUST work for you. What is the point if you can’t stick with it. These tips seem very doable for almost anyone. Healthy eating is not just a fad, it’s a way of life.
I would rather say that healthy eating is one best thing to consider in losing weight. Diet pills and supplements are useless if we don’t eat healthy and good foods or shall we say we don’t have a good eating habit. Losing weight is not that hard, we need to be always motivated and strong enough to fight against any temptations.
When a person adopts healthy eating habits then they will be able to have permanent weight loss. Thanks for sharing this helpful article!
The sports bar diet was truly not working for me and my husband. We started grilling at home and inviting friends over. We can still watch the with people, and I don’t feel obligated to get a coke or fries. Small portions also helps. 🙂
apple cider vinegar weight loss tips
Apple cider vinegar is a substance that has been used for many years as a home remedy for many different problems such as stomach flu, high cholesterol, sore throats, joint pain and sinus infections. But one of the most touted benefits that apple cider vinegar brings to the table is weight loss. One of the ways it helps out in this department is with control of hunger cravings. As recommended by Dr. D.C Jarvis, 1 to 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar should be taken with water right before a meal. This helps to reduce appetite because of a fiber compound found in the vinegar called pectin. This substance mixes with the water and expands in the stomach, which causes appetite to be decreased.
apple cider vinegar weight loss tips
I am really into my health after having some health scares a few years ago. Although I am extremely busy in my professional career and don’t have the time to excercise, I have manged to change my eating habits for the better. Just by changing my diet to healthier foods I have seen tremendous results. Couldn’t agree with this post more!
Thanks for the tips on how to take the dieting without actually doing what others have done to their diet. I love it! Thanks for the thoughts and tips… I am glad I found this helpful blog.
Great advice, only eat when hungry is the key although the best thing I did was cut out the amount of sugar intake!
The best way to lose weight is through exercise and good lifestyle. Alcohol, smoking and fat foods should be avoided.
If we all change our bad eating habits, we’d be more healthy. Thanks for writing this article.
Sensible tips! I have seen girls going crazy when it comes to losing weight. I also want to lose weight, but not with dieting. I just want to be disciplined with my eating habits. My only problem is my paunch.
One can simply weight loss by taking healthy meals and avoid so much spicy food and alcohols.
Interesting tips about healthy eating. I want to say that dry wine is best solution if you want to drink some alcohol. Also, discipline may help to get the desired weight.

I just wanted you to know how true the health bar point is. I picked up a energy bar on the way home from work the other day and the bar contained about as much calories as my breakfast. Great if you eat is before or after a hard workout, but as hunger control before dinner, not good at all.

Eat healthy and I think the most important point is eat only when you are hungary. I guess this is the most common mistake often done by everyone. As a result they intake more calories and which results in overweight.
Thanks For providing such an awesome article..

Excellent article! So many people fail to realize the importance of healthy eating. They fail to know that you “healthy eating” is the most important aspect of losing weight. Most focus on lifting weights and exercise. Of course, there’s a balance of the two but you have to eat healthy. If you’re not eating healthy, you’re never going to reach the results you could have. There’s a fine line between all these aspects.
Eating healthy is the only option for weight loss for me. There’s no other way to do it. Okay, maybe there is… Eating healthy and exercising. But eating healthy is the first option, really.
Great tips for building the eating healthy habit. I can definitely use them. I eat a lot of junk food, you see, and I’m starting to gain weight so I need to stop…soon.
Great tips for a beginner! I tried to comment on this yesterday but I kept getting errors!
.my personal tip for having a good digestion is very simple i.e. make the habit of drinking water before meals and before taking tea, would definitely have a good effect on your health

Hey Diane, Great Article :-). This is just what I needed to hear. I have personally failed many times at losing weight because I restricted myself from too many calories instead of focusing on eating healthier foods as you’ve said in this Blog post.
I was hungry all the time and I suffered from big mood swings, probably from lack of Carbs. I was also crazy on eating those sports Bars but now I’m going to be staying right away from them.
Very good article. I will mention it on my own blog. Thanks for sharing.

Always eat healthy foods, avoid junked food, drink more water, exercise daily. These are some points by which you can maintain your body after weight loss.
Mike, you’re right. You’d be amazed what can happen when you cut out every liquid except water. And drink LOADS of it. It also makes your skin look amazing! Good bye acne!
Healthy food is necessary for everyone with workout or without body workout! Hygienic food is necessary to maintain the body! It helps in reducing extra fats from your body and provides proper protein and vitamins!
I totally agree with cutting sugary/carb-filled drinks out of your diet. I changed from drinking sodas to only drinking water and changed NOTHING else and I lost 20+ pounds in a single summer.

First, excellent article and information. Many people believe weight loss is all about fitness and exercise. That couldn’t be further then the truth. Healthy eating is crucial. Eating healthy is more important then exercise, although you need both to lose weight effectively. Always watch your portions. Thanks for sharing!

No workout regiment is complete without healthy eating if weight loss is your intended goal! Its about monitoring what you put in.
Always eat healthy foods, drink more water, exercise daily. These are some points by which you can maintain your health.
There’s no substitute for healthy eating and correct portion sizes. Plenty of water and resistance training don’t go astray too 🙂
I am also not a fan of dieting and fasting. A healthy balanced eating will lead you to the victory over your weight. It will be a long struggle, but you will win. Would like to mention that portion also plays a great role. For example if oatmeal is considered to be healthy, it does not mean that you should eat a doubled portion in order to feel that you’ve eaten enough. Take care of your menu and portions!
I also completely agree that losing weight needs to be part of your regular habits and not just a fad or something you do once. I eat as healthy as I can on a regular basis, and hardly ever eat fast foods.
Once it becomes part of your weekly shopping and cooking plan, and you cook great things that you enjoy eating, there is no going back.
And as you mentioned, there are loads of simple ways to avoid the weight gaining foods – dry wines, less sugary foods. Challenge assumptions (this is healthy, this is not) and read the packaging.

The way we eat is directly related to our lifestyle so some of us have to change more than others. It’s your choice to be healthy or not, I know which I prefer. Thanks for a very good blog. I’m also a curvy type and not a stick insect.
Hi,
Healthy eating at proper time intervals along with fitness regime is helpful in reducing weight and keeping the body in shape.Adding salad to everydiet will give you fast results and fulfills the stomach.

Always eat healthy foods, drink more water, exercise daily. These are some points by which you keep in mind for your great health.
Eating healthy foods does not necessarily mean depriving yourself of the foods you love, but rather it’s about making better decisions with what you do eat as well as developing a well-balanced and healthy diet. The food we choose is so important to our health.
Some people confuse eating healthy with dieting. You are able to lose weight by eating just clean foods rather than junk food and fried stuff. People just assume you have to eat like a bird to lose weight. Yes, calorie intake can be lowered, but not so much as to starve yourself. Thanks for the good info!

I agree that healthy food an real food with fiber can cause some weight loss simply by filling you up and therefore being less calories. Proper amount of water can also make a significant difference. making a choice to eat an apple – or even two, instead of a bag of chips retrains your body but also fills you up in the short term.
And I like the picture that shows that avocado. Thanks
Thank you for this post. I like the idea of healthy eating and also try to follow it. Fast weight loss does not mean quality and health and as it is said: Slow and steady wins the race!
This post is very helpful and educational, it’s very important eat the right food for us to keep healthy. “Health is Wealth” thanks for sharing.
The first paragraph says it all. Staying or getting healthy isn’t all about exercising til you drop. It’s about eating healthy along with it. Too many people focus on one aspect they forget about the bigger picture and goal.

Thank you for this post. I like the idea of healthy eating and also try to follow it.
Healthy eating is so important to everyone. Especially when it comes to losing weight. 80 percent (give or take) of your weight loss is going to be dependent on the foods that you consume. Exercise alone is not enough to lose the ideal weight you seek. Sure, you can lose weight exercising but eating is the main issue.
