I have a dog. I can have 20 or more geese in my yard at a time. I pick up a lot of poop. Not only do I recycle my own bags, but I take bags of my neighbors and friends hands just to keep up.

Now, I agree for the most part – most people could use the ‘green’ bags. And I think we are headed to where the plastic bags will not be available.

I don’t know what I’ll do then!

I see people using plastic bags in the grocery store every weekend. It makes me angry sometimes. When will our local government ban these ugly plastic bags? Sometimes, I wanted to tell the people in line to just bring their own plastic bags or get a few of durable green supply bags. These bags last me a long time. I even don’t remember the last time I paid for the bags. Do yourself a favor, buy a few of these reusable bags and put them in your car. Even better, give it to the nice person in front of the line when you see he/she is asking for plastic bags.

Ohhhh, a lot of exercise haters!

Exercise can be taking a walk, playing frisbee, golfing, bowling, vacuuming or dancing. Just get up off the couch and move. It’s OK to have some fun doing it.

When I was starting out, I found it was easier to focus on a healthy dinner. I started with a big salad, a vegetable, three-to-six ounces of some sort of protein and sometimes some fruit too. That was an easier way to knock out five servings of fruits and vegetables and cut out all of the chemicals.

A good, quick breakfast would be yogurt, fruit, an English muffin with peanut butter or wheat toast with honey, a glass of juice and a cup of coffee or green tea.

Hope this helps!

Calisthenics is much cheaper and much easier to slowly work yourself into training your body habitually for a terrifically toned and fit body with loads of stamina.

Gyms are only good when you have instructions from professional trainers. Sadly for most people fees are far too high and the majority of the time average people attempt new or fresh exercise, they inevitably injure themselves. Usually only minor injuries, often remedied with more water intake, proper dietary requirements and more methodical breathing when training, but nevertheless…

The key is to start slow, then work to intensify. Calisthenics is the perfect form for this, as you adjust your exercises subjectively with complete control and the only downside is having to do your routine every single day (minimum of ten minutes per day). I’m not an expert and every individual’s situation has multiple unforeseen circumstances, but my experience was enough to make me confident in this type of body training practice as an addition to walking the dog, skipping, swimming and yoga.

The truth is exercise is just incredibly boring for the majority of people, considering how easy it is to obtain entertainment in developed and developing countries, luxuries and fun that require very little effort to have, and enjoy. Unfortunately, we must spend time and energy acquiring skills and the financial means to actually partake in such activities, leaving very little motive for much, if any, strenuous, exhaustive muscle ripping and cardio lung-busting, or even general health watching.

Hey there, a quick question for the author. You mention that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what would you recommend eating for breakfast. At the moment I tend to get bored very quickly with having the same thing over and over again, and the only fruit I can stomach is banana on cereal (occasionally). Is there an optimum breakfast that will help me kick start my metabolism?

Interested to hear your thoughts and thanks for the great article.

This is good advive about looking for breakfast cereals with fibre. There is a perception that all cereals are healthy.

I would add these two from my own experience. Firstly, chew slowly and taste every mouthful. Secondly, listen to your body telling you when you are full, then stop eating. After trying many, many ways to lose weight, this combination has proved to be the one that yielded the best results.

Possibly. The purpose of the article is more about taking those first steps to an healthy habit. If you already go to the gym regularly, great, you don’t need this article. However if you’ve never consistently managed to do exercise, just focus on going once a week for a while.
