Why does it seem that Junk food/ food that isn't good for you seems to outnumber the healthy food? Its because were lazy people! Most singles out there don't really have the time to cook everyday, or they just don't gave a damn about their health. As you can see from the left picture, in my household we have more junk food as compared to the right picture, of healthy foods. We do eat home cooked meals but thats usually only for dinner, so that leaves most of the morning and afternoon to eat junk food. I prefer home cooked meals over any junk food. According to my friends I eat very unhealthy foods. What can I say, they taste good. You would think that with all the junk food that I eat that I would be fat, but I'm not. I guess that I"m "lucky" to have a fast metabolism. Being skinny doesn't automatically mean that you are healthy. You can still have a lot of problems such as high cholesterol. I'm young and my cholesterol level is just perfect but if I keep on with this diet of junk food I'm going to be a really unhealthy person when I grow up. So what can I do to be on my way towards a healthy diet? Well I have put together a list that I think will help me and others to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

1. Don't let yourself get hungry: when you get hungry you let yourself eat any type of food.
2. Choose water over any other drink
3. slowly try to get rid of, and buy less junk food
4. Look at the nutrition facts: the image below shows the nutritional facts for a toaster strudel. Its not healthy for you!

5. Workout: This is one of the most important factors to live a healthy life. Get off your lazy ass and work out for 30 minutes a day.

If we fallow these five rules, we will live longer than those who don't. That means that we will be able to see more gadgets in our lifetime than them, which is always a good thing.
