What Less-Healthy Food Items Do You Want to Reduce Eating?

November 21st, 2017

Establishing a balanced eating plan, including a variety of healthy foods, is important. It is also a good option to include "treat" items on an occasional basis, as part of a balanced eating plan.

There are some of us, however, that perhaps eat an excessive amount of a less-healthy food item, regularly. For example, some people may want to reduce their sugar intake/intake of desserts, some others may want to decrease their fat intake (fried foods, etc.). Other people may want to reduce their caffeine intake.

What "less-healthy" food item(s) do you want to decrease your intake of, in your eating plan?

I think I do a good job at keeping things balanced when it comes to my meals...... Not sure there is anyone thing I'd eliminate. I try to get in all the good stuff, and when I do have anything else I consider it a "Treat Day".... Everything in "moderation".

But I guess if there was one thing that I can't seem to get enough of during my meals its "Cheese"... I love cheese, and do my best to proportion it throughout the day, only using it once in the morning at Breaksfast and again at Lunch on my Wrap...

Avoiding excessively salted foods. Sometimes the salted foods look healthy on the surface - virtually the only unhealthy ingredient being salt.

I want to reduce the amount of processed & refined foods and eat more and more fresh, whole foods.
Definitely a work in progress. wink

Reducing the amount of processed foods which you eat, and incorporating more fresh, whole foods into your diet sounds like a very healthful modification to make! Good luck with this

@StrengthFromWithin, thanks so much. I began back at the end of August and still consider myself as transitioning since I'm certainly not perfect. I still have some work to do, but I've been making progress. And I'm feeling so much better already. I had my blood tested (a regular thing for my diabetes, thyroid, etc) just before I started (didn't even know when I had my blood drawn that I was going to start...that's how sudden the decision was...LOL), and I just had it drawn again on Thursday. So I'll get those results soon and see if there's been any improvement.
