Eating green for your body

So when you think of eating healthy, what is the first thing that comes to mind? In most cases it means eating food that is actually good for your body, not necessarily good for the environment. Organic food is very healthy for the environment, but what should people eat to be healthy for their bodies?

Of course eating vegetables and fruits all the time will keep you healthy and thin. But what if you want that beach body but can't stay away from your favorite foods. Well luckily in todays world there are a lot of ways that you can eat some of your favorite, greasy foods and still lose weight and keep your body young and fit.

If you go to any grocery store and really look, you will find most of your favorite fatty foods have all gone fat free and sugar free. "It's really a great thing," said Joe Elyachar. "I get to eat all of my favorite foods, just they won't get me all fat and out of shape.

Cheese is something that people really love to put on almost anything. Cheese though is very high in bad fats and is ultimately very bad for you. There is Fat free cheese by Kraft or they have it in most of the off brands as well that tastes exceptionally good as well as very good for you. 0 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein for a slice of cheese is great and it still goes great on burgers or sandwiches.

That is not the only way to go, there are turkey burgers which are good and good for you, they have fat free vegan hot dogs that dressed up correctly actually taste pretty good. A big one is pizza, and now they have pizza's in all the Freezer dinner lean meals. These pizzas are portioned to a smaller size to make you eat less of it and they use ingredients that make it healthier as well.

Some people have a problem with the aspect of dessert. The sugar or chocolate cravings some time can be considered an addiction. There are ways to take care of these. There is fat free and sugar free chocolate pudding. They also have other flavors to fit all taste buds. Popsicles are a good one too, they have regular, cremsicles and fudgsicles that are all fat and sugar free and are all very tasty as well.

So as i have mentioned here only very slightly you can eat green for your body, but you don't have to deprive yourself of things you love. The idea is that if you just work out a little and eat healthier and smaller portions you can help keep your body clean and healthy.
