Studies have shown that even though the French are known for eating rich foods, they remain healthy. How? They know to put the fork and knife down when they are full. Yes, no one wants to waste food, but the Clean Plate Club concept is one of the reasons why Americans are among the most overweight people in the world.

My tip about this is to take how ever much you want to take but be very careful about how much because you will want to eat all of it but if you take a little and you are still hungry then take a little more till you are FULL not STUFFED!!!!!!!

I would say I am part of the Clean Plate Club! Guess I gotta fix that! LOL.

My mom also taught me this rule of thumb, if you are served a ginormous serving, or the food is really high in calories, make an invisible line down the center. Eat that half of it, and put the rest in the garbage, or back in the refridgerator! Hope it helps.

when you eat just get anough to not make you full

MOD!! i feel so lame because i still haven't had a boyfriend. how can i gett one? i guess that's what i am asking. also when did you have your first boyfriend. Please help it will make me feel better.

naughtynautica on 10/5/2008 6:18:24 PM

My tip is to eat slowly. If you eat too fast, your body won't have enough time to have digested the food when you finish eating, so you won't know that you are full/

Hey girlz! I just wanted to share my tips on Healthy eating. DONT EAT AFTER 6:30! Ur body settles down and it sits there. not good. eat a good dinner before then. plus, eat a serving. on the box or can, whatevr it comes in, it has a nutrition label. it has serving sizes. just stick with that. Also, look at the palm of your hand. that is what is said is the size of your stomach. try not to make that little thing stretch too much! And last, u dont always have to have a dessert. save those for special dinners or rarely. this all helps me alot!

singerluv4me on 10/9/2008 10:33:24 PM

The French also don't get served as much food.
They always have smaller portions.

Swimmin' Somewhere on 10/16/2008 8:55:25 PM

Mod!
I'm pretty sure there used to be a website made by girls life that only focused on health. Do you know if it still exists?

 

 

 

 

Hey chica, hmm.... sorry, this isn't my area of expertise so I'm not sure. But, you can find plenty of health-friendly articles at this page http://www.girlslife.com/landing/g-life.aspx

so does that mean if i start the healthy you program right now i have to skip 41 weeks????PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE answer me!!!thanx!

 

 

 

Hey girl, you can start from Week 41 and just continue the program from there. If you really wanna see the last weeks, though. You can always search for them with key words like "Week 37" and so on, in the search field at the top of the page! Good luck! xo Annemarie
