Healthy Food Plan - For Those Who Do Not Have Enough Time To Prepare A Healthy Meal

What is the optimal healthy eating? Personally, I do not like diets, they are basically limited and they do not bring long lasting satisfaction. Therefore, "Optimum Nutrition" is the best way to a better and healthier posture and it still provides all the elements that are necessary for normal functioning of your body.

Optimal diet is an optimal healthy diet with intake of all the elements the body needs for normal action. Recommendations (menus) will be separated into four groups:

- 1st Food plan: for all those who do not have time.

- 2nd Food plan: for gourmets who give a lot on flavor and preparation of food.

- 3rd Food plan: for lovers of Asian and Indian cuisine.

- 4th Food plan: for those who do not have time, but want to eat healthy and carry their lunch to work, prepared at home.

There is a total of 12 menus in all four food plans, where you can freely to combine them with other meals and there is no need to stick to a specific nutrient each day. You can eat conventional breakfast, quick snacks, the Asian lunch, protein shakes, smoothies, or anything else that you like to combine.

While reading about different diets and different food combinations, raw foods, diets for blood groups, separation diet ... I can not believe what can a man think of anything else. Everybody is talking about "evidence" how can such diets help us. But the problem is that they are complicating and very hard to carry out. People, stop complicating and make yourself an easy food plan that you like. Here I will try to help you with constructing a simple food plan, but your job is to make your own kind. I promise you, that you will be healthy and well educated about nutrient food. You will also start to think ahead what to cook and which ingredients to buy. Unfortunately, the trends dictate that diets are complicated and we are forgetting that diet should be varied and simple to perform.
