Nehemiah's Personal Diet Plan

Creating a healthy diet plan is, with minor qualification, limited only by your own motivation, due to the wide variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains on earth.

Fad diets, at very best only work temporarily. At worst they can be unhealthy. Compare the diet reviews on the popular weight loss programs to give you a better understanding of healthy eating.

Keep in mind, my diet is based upon my personal preference of nutrition and flavor. Juicing allows me to consume food in its most digestible form. You will have to explore your own taste and preferences then decide if juicing is for you. Don't dispair if you discover that it doesn't suit your taste. Just continue to seek out nutritious food in a form you can enjoy. Try something as simple as reducing or eliminating beverages that contain added sugar. Just giving up one 12oz can of soda per day, will eliminate 150 calories and 41 grams of carbohydrates.

In 2004 I decided to take my healthy diet to another level. Every week from Monday to Wednesday , I would only eat fresh fruit and drink vegetable juice. For more information on juicing please read my article Juicing Recipes .

Adapting to my new healthy eating plan was not easy, especially the first week. There where times I felt very weak. To be honest with you I seriously thought about quitting. I felt like I was robbing myself of so many delicious foods. Nevertheless I persevered.

After several of these four-day periods of eating only fruits and drinking freshly made vegetable juice, my diet plan started paying off. It helped me trim down and lose 20 pounds. For more practical weight loss advice visit Slim-Fit-and-Healthy

My healthy diet plan also changed my sleep requirements. I used to need a minimum of six and a half to seven hours of sleep every night to function properly the next day. Now I can get by with five hours and sometimes even four with no problem.

Today, I no longer limit myself to just eating fruit Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I more or less stick to a Mediterranean Diet seven days a week. For more information please visit my Mediterranean Diet page

I have also increased my consumption of fresh juice. I'm up to about two and a half gallons per week.

Here are some foods items I never eat:

1. Sweets; including candy, doughnuts, pies, cake, ice cream.

2. Soda pops.

3. Potato Chips and anything else that falls into its category.

4. Most fried foods.

5. Shrimp, clams, lobsters. These creatures, considered scavenger animals, eat foods that may be harmful for you.

6. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame.

Let me end this segment by expressing that my diet plan is what works for me. You do not have to follow my eating plan to be healthy. Just make sure that as you create your diet plan, you follow the rules of health and nutrition and you will be fine.
