Questionthis one might be a little hard, im currently deployed over seas and i put on a bit of weight(alot). im limited to certin foods out here and i want to start eating more healthy. i cant tell our cooks what to cook specially just for me so i have to eat what ever they put in front of me. we do have a salad bar that has salad, fruits, vegetables but the majority of the food is pretty unhealthy. is there a special diet i can have that doesnt require me to starve my self because the food is so bad and eat what available. like i said i dont have a monthly menu to send to you so if this is unanswerable than i understand. thank you.
AnswerDear Zach,
Eating healthy can be more than one way. What isn't advisable to do is mix and match. If you can easily limit your carbohydrate intake (sugar, bread, rise, potatoes, pasta, etc.) then you can indulge in meats, oils, buts, seafood, and poultry.
If you prefer carbohydrate-rich foods, then you should be watching your fatty foods intake.
If you want both, you should count and limit calories and this WILL make you hungry!
If you exercise daily for at least 40 minutes, you can allow yourself more variety of foods, especially if you do weights.
These are very general rules. If you want structured precalculated plan, take a look at our Banta program. Starting this year, it's free, no password required.
