Sari answered Thursday January 31 2008, 1:36 am: I'll play the con to the others pro on the chicken and say that it's really not that good for you. ALL animal products have extra fat. Yes the protein is good but you can also get that by putting chickpeas on your salad or some grilled tofu (which is actually quite tasty, don't knock it until you smother a slice in sauce and slap it on the bbq, babe).
Another note on chicken: when tested nearly all of packaged chicken has been found to contain feces. Chickens are terrorized before being killed, they know they're going to die and their bodies are full of terror and fear when they die and you're eating that. You are what you eat, right? Not to mention pesticides, hormones, and the various other things food companies inject into chicken to make it taste better.

Also, yes, grilled chicken is very healthy.
Start drinking more water, and more of your daily servings, like fruits, vegetables, and less junk food. (It's hard, i know.)
ALSO, start working out. Not full blast, but maybe like every other day, at least 4 times a week, 30-60 minutes a day. Just walking on the treadmill, or going for a jog helps a lot. And when you start, (unless you're used to the amount of energy it takes) work yourself up, and it'll become easier.
Guidance_Girl555 answered Tuesday January 1 2008, 9:19 pm: Well for breakfast, you can always make yourself a slice of toast with jam or peanut butter, healthy cereal in my opinion is Special K, they have different kinds and they actually taste pretty good. Also if your not a morning person it has been proven that just eating an apple is better at waking you up than caffeine. Also, I used to hate salad but now, it's one of my favorite things to eat. I love making myself a ceaser salad with a bit of shredded cheese and pieces of chicken in it(even low fat dressing, surprisingly doesn't taste too bad) And yes I think grilled chicken is good for you, as long as it's not covered in grease and butter, any meats are very good for you. It's all about balance, too much of anything isn't good for you, but if you balance it out, then you're on your way to a healthy lifestyle:)Hope my tips will help you!
Have a great New Year!
