Odd question but I’m trying to get all healthy, maybe even work out and I was wondering if you had any food tips or anything at all

not an odd q at all!! proud of u for trying/starting to get healthy!! in regards to starting to workout i would suggest taking a jog or run every morning for about 30 minutes. i say ‘every’ morning (or at least 2-3 times a week because isn’t nature just wonderful and it sets u up for the day yknow?). like yeah who the hell wants to get up at 6:30 or 7 for a run but it’s a helluva mood booster and does wonders for your health physically and mentally. im not sure if the place u live has a large park or a running pathway but it’s great to utilise spaces like that. imo gyms aren’t That good (maybe it’s just me and my cheap ass) but yeah if you can afford a gym membership go for it!! gyms are also a safer place if you choose to exercise at night rather than a park. if you’re on a budget i suggest either going running around your local area or having a set routine you can do at home (eg sit ups, push ups. u can find plentyyy on youtube). if you have a friend that wants to get more daily exercise too then u both can work out together. i think that’d be a lot of fun, even if you just walk or run with your dog that’s great too!! ooh make sure u have appropriate exercise clothing as well.

as for healthier food tips/options, i suggest opting for healthier snacks. like if youre craving sugar or sweetness like lollies, change it to fruits!! fruits have natural sugar and is much lower than other sweetened foods (eg cherries, mangoes). and when eating bread perhaps instead of white bread maybe go for wholemeal/multigrain. the same can be said for brown rice. the alternatives can make such a difference to your body. oh gosh i know that fruit juice can be seen as healthy but it’s really not  if u rely on it to be your daily fruit intake. when and if u can just eat whole fruits!! they’re so much better for u fam. also substituting chips with peanuts, walnuts or dried banana chips is an option too. im throwing a bunch of info at u sorry but also incorporate dairy, legumes, fish, and poultry in your dishes (if u can)!! they’re just as important as fruits and vegetables. also if u can’t buy these fresh, canned options are available too and more budget friendly.

meal prepping can do wonders as well, especially if you’re a college or school student.  ooof since ive started uni ive relied more on frozen vegetables but tbh i think that’s fine and just as good. there’s so many options of incorporating them into your food!! wraps, sandwiches, rice, salads. i know making your own food can be time consuming but it’s sooo much better than buying takeaway or horribly overpriced college food. cooking for/with ur friends is gr8 too!!!! heres a link ( http://smilesandwich(.)com/2018/12/05/43-healthy-meal-prep-recipes-thatll-make-your-life-easier/ )

like if u want to go all out then u can even download a food diary app to keep track of what you’re putting in your body or calculating the calories (might be overkill cos i just think being healthy is making healthier choices in life and not relying on the numbers TOO much).

treat yourself as you would a best friend when shopping, packing, or cooking your food. like im not saying completely cut out chocolate and carbs but just have more discretion. u deserve the best

ALSO!!! don’t forget your water and stay hydrated. remember youre making healthy choices for u and urself only! keep in mind u do need self efficacy and self determination during this journey but i truly believe in you ❤️❤️❤️ wish u all the best!!
