Question by That girl: Is eating Good Health Natural Foods “Veggie Chips” healthy?

Answer by Becki
Um…just read and compare the labels of the veggie chips and a bag of the chips that you would have eaten before.

Compare the salt and calories as well as how much of each you can actually have and even the ingredients. Some so-called healthy foods have more products in them than regular foods and that’s not healthy. And some say to eat so little of them that you won’t be satisfied until you eat double, or even triple, the amount it suggests. You may be better off eating what you’d eaten before. Or the veggie chips may be the best way to go.

It’s likely that the salt used on them is either kosher or sea salt which can cause bloating in some people and is often stronger in its flavor which can result in you craving soda or sweets as they will balance the salt. And that won’t really help you in your healthy eating goals!

You don’t have to buy foods specifically labels as healthy or natural to actually be healthy. You just have to do everything in moderation and get the adequate amount of exercise to burn off those calories to maintain the weight you are at.

Q&A: My girlfriend is a “weight hypocrite”?

Posted on November 4, 2011 by HealthyCook| 1 Comment

Question by Monkey D. Luffy: My girlfriend is a “weight hypocrite”?
Hey, I’m really into my girlfriend, but sometimes she can be such a hypocrite and it pisses me off like crazy.

Recently, I’ve been lazy and I stopped exercising. And as a result of my laziness, I’ve gotten kinda tubby. The weight has mostly gone to my stomach, creating a round, squishy belly that is always getting in the way when I try to zip up my pants.

Anyways, my girlfriend called me out on it saying, “Hey, fatty! When are you gonna start working out again?”
I was really surprised that she said this because she has put on about 45 pounds since we got together, and I have never bothered her about it.

The reason we are both getting fat is because she always insists on being the “main cook” in the house, and she makes the greasiest food on the planet.
I’ve tried telling her that we need to start eating healthier, but she says she doesn’t want to. >:(

What should I do?

Posted on November 3, 2011 by HealthyCook| 7 Comments

Question by Veronica (hunters momma): help my family won’t cook “good”foods?
Do you ever notice the difference in the type of dinners and suppers different families make? like growing up, my mom would always make sure we had a veggie like green beans or carrots to go w/ our meat and potatoes. my gma was into making all in ones such as soup and salads w/ sandwichs. i now live w/ my bf and his family and his mom makes unhealthy food! she made tater tot casserole last nite it was tater tots and hamburger and cream of mushroom soup topped with ketchup. it was good but not healthy you know what i mean? we have dinners like this almost everynite. we have cheese dogs, sloppy joes, pizza, cheeseburgers, nachos, homemade tacos, things like that. never ever ever accompanied by any veggies at all and rarely potatoes either. if we have a side, its usually the ore ida kind of onion rings, fries or tater tots. or chips. it tastes good but i miss having things like fried corn, fried squash, fried potatoes and onions, a side of potatoes, pot roasts and things like that. his mom makes dinner almost everynight and i cant tell her how to do things in her own home so what can i do to be able to integrate more meal-type dinners into my life and my fiance’s life? i’m sick of eating 1 course meals and basically junk.

Q&A: Do you have any food “issues”? Re your body, health, anything!?

Posted on November 1, 2011 by HealthyCook| Leave a comment

Question by norton2628: Do you have any food “issues”? Re your body, health, anything!?
Well I do. I really struggle with trying to figure out what is too much to eat or too little, and my body, etc. I have been bulimic for a very long time and I am trying to stop so hard. It is amazing how something so basic such as food can cause such problems for me. So I guess I am asking to really find out if a other people have their own “issues” with food and to what degree. Anything at all! Tell me.
