Getting outdoors makes me feel good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1669672 Fri, 30 May 2014 17:25:38 +0000 ILoveLettie 1669672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: This! </p> <p>I believe that food should make me feel good and should make me happy, not be something to stress over. I eat healthily because I know it will make me happier in the long run and that I feel bloated and yucky if I eat too much that's processed and too much junk, but I'm also very anti beat-myself-up-over-anything. I try to eat lots of fruit and vegetables but mostly because they make me feel best and happiest! I won't eat anything I don't like just because it's healthy. </p> <p>I also believe that all bets are off when I go out. When I grocery shop I tend to buy healthier things and lots of vegetables, etc., but if we're eating out I'll get a cocktail, the baby back ribs, and dessert. So I guess my philosophy would be "Treat myself when out, healthy at home." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1669664 Fri, 30 May 2014 17:19:44 +0000 Running Elley 1669664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat clean with treats in moderation!</p> <p>And I truly love exercising/the way I feel when I exercise.

I also believe in enjoying sweets.</p> <p>I don't believe in obsessing or counting- for me that is unhealthy (mentally). I believe in the goal of health, not being thin. I was at my least healthy when I was my thinnest. </p> <p>I believe in doing exercise that is a part of enjoying my life: walking with lo in the stroller, swimming and hiking and climbing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1669065 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:05:01 +0000 Arden 1669065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: Yup, that. &lt;3 Pollan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1668994 Fri, 30 May 2014 12:37:05 +0000 fairy 1668994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything in moderation - I won't restrict anything and I won't beat myself up for eating junk. I do want to get back into exercise but not more than I want to not exercise. It's something that is hard for me to start but that I enjoy once I get going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1666341 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:42:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1666341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat real whole foods. A mostly veggie &amp; fruit based diet. &amp; I exercise 4 to 5 times a week because I enjoy it &amp; I believe that I should use my body to the best of its abilities while I still have them. I usually do about 30 minutes a day...so don't let my ideals make you think I'm some athlete lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1666299 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:26:51 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1666299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less chemicals, more vegetables. :) for exercise its do whatever you will do. For me that means hig intensity interval videos (i like jillian michaels) with cardio classes or running as i feel like it, plus lots of walking. The more i move the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1666293 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:24:57 +0000 MrsKRB 1666293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get on exercise 'kicks' I will be on a spinning kick, or body pump, or insanity or running, I can never stay with one thing for a long time.<br /> As far as diet goes, I have always been an 'eat what you crave, stop when it doesn't take good anymore' kind of girl. I feel like I don't eat a lot. However, I am starting to get more into a plant based diet after watching Forks over Knives and Food Inc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1666052 Thu, 29 May 2014 15:01:24 +0000 lawbee11 1666052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Everything in moderation" </p> <p>I also think exercise is important, even if it's just going on nightly walks around the neighborhood with your family. </p> <p>Oh, and life's too short to not eat carbs :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1666035 Thu, 29 May 2014 14:58:24 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1666035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: this question is so embarrassing!</p> <p>My food philosophy? I basically don't have one, unless: "eat til you pop" is a food philosophy?</p> <p>My excessive philosophy is totally different though. I like to keep it tough, regular and consistent. I def push my limits.<br /> It's probably because I know I have to to help with all that I eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1666024 Thu, 29 May 2014 14:54:45 +0000 illumina 1666024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat like a king at breakfast, a queen at lunch and a pauper at dinner.

I'm not a fan of eliminating certain things from my diet (carbs, sugar, dairy, etc). It's only going to make me angry &amp; crave it more. If I want the cake, I'll eat a piece &amp; move on. It's worked well for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1665831 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:47:23 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1665831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: this!! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1665830 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:47:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1665830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: :bfp: 1 I love this!</p> <p>Eat clean but no guilt. Live a little - and enjoy, but don't overindulge. Make healthy food deposits so I can enjoy a little every now and then</p> <p>I do believe that for optimal health I should exercise at least 3x a week, at least 30 min at a time, but I don't. I will for a few weeks, then take a few weeks off, then start up again and the cycle continues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1665807 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:40:22 +0000 Boheme 1665807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat clean.

I don;t adhere to any special type of diet or way of eating (like only clean, whole, reduced carbs, high protein, etc). I am sure there are great benefits, I just know I would never be able to stick to it nor is there any foods i want to limit or give up! I just strive for eating balanced meals and everything in moderation - and even that is often easier said than done!</p> <p>For exercise, i like to walk a lot and incorporate little things as much as i can. But if i had more time, i would spend more time doing intensive cardio and weight training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1665795 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:37:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1665795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dessert for breakfast is okay.<br /> Exercise til you sweat because when you sweat something happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1665791 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:35:26 +0000 edelweiss 1665791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i believe i should be exercising at least 3 times a week, and that even 20 minutes each time would be good. i also believe that i am a lazy ass and have refused to make good on such belief despite having the time, energy and opportunity. sigh.</p> <p>for food, a few years ago i started cooking mostly vegetarian because one of our close friends who came to dinner all the time was vegetarian for a year, and we have tried to continue that. when we eat meat, we try to buy "happy" meat from the farmers market, and the higher price is another reason to try and eat lots of veggies. not that we are vegetarian or eat only happy meat. just saying we try, and sometimes we say f* it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-foodexercise-philosophy-and-beliefs#post-1665787 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:34:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1665787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat mostly real food and not too many carbs, but feel no guilt over indulging.</p> <p>I truly like to excercise and believe it's necessary for a healthy life.
