EN: Hello everyone! Today I would like to talk about healthy lifestyle. I recently decided to start living healthy (I kind of "announced" my decision here) and because I'm trying to inform and educate myself on this topic, I thought I could write about it here as well. Sorta share all the "knowledge" I accumulated so far and motivate you guys. But I need to make sure that you guys know I am NOWHERE near being a professional in this area! I'm just interested and curious and so if there is anything totally misleading in this article, I apologize in advance (also please let me know, if I make any mistake, ok?!)

CZ: Moc se omlouvám, ale dnešní článek bude pouze v angličtině! Doufám, že mi to prominete! O:-)

So we will start with food.

Oh yeah food, that is kinda important, right? :D I so wish it wasn't but if you want to stay fit (*ahem* loose weight *ahem*), you gotta bear in mind that it's 80/20 - meaning 80% food/ 20% excercise.

Lot of times I got a little upset over this fact but it's just not worth it anymore haha :D So I just accepted the fact that I cannot eat whatever I want to, whenever I want to. It's kind of a sad way of life but what you are essentially doing is taking care of your body. And we all should take good care of our bodies because you know ... we only get one!

So how do you make sure you are eating smart ? It's funny because as long as I know, I heard people saying no carbs in the afternoon (and I am sure many of you have the same opinion)! But then recently I read an article about this that said it actually doesn't matter that much. There was a study performed and it showed that people who did in fact eat carbs in the afternoon and in the evening weren't gaining weight compared to people who weren't eating carbs later in the day (both groups were eating in moderation and excercising though! (I think)). Sadly I didn't save that article (would've been useful now, ugh :D) but what I am getting to is that it's not so much about WHAT you put in but HOW MUCH of it you put in. Of course you shouldn't eat burgers, fries and cakes 24/7, all I am saying is that you can eat pretty much anything but just don't eat A LOT of it. If you want to eat that pasta for late lunch, do it. Just don't stuff your face!
I decided that I cannot really abandon one food group as my diet (like being vegetarian, vegan or gluten free) because I love food. I love it and there is nothing that can change that fact. But I don't think I am necessarily doomed. If I eat in moderation and only when I'm hungry (oh boy - you have no idea how big of an issue eating cause I am bored is for me!) and also buy good quality ingredients, I think I can still loose weight and be healthy. Yes, it will take much longer and it requires a lot of patience and strong will, but the results are going to be long-lasting. Because if you want to loose weight for good, you need to change your lifestyle.



And because I think I should be more specific, I want to give you tips on good healthy meals and smart healthy websites.
