Chapter One - Healthy eating for the
family
Introduction to healthy food
We all know that we need to eat healthily. And although our modern society has put a great emphasis
on convenience and junk foods, there has never been so much pressure on all of us to look good, and
to appear fit and healthy.
The importance of healthy eating for young people
Pick up any magazine, or watch any TV show, and you will be faced with a slew of identical "beautiful
people" who have more than a little in common when it comes to appearance. So much so that they
can only be likened to modern day Stepford Wives! All perfect hair, teeth, and tans with their tiny little
size zero figures. It is no wonder that so many young people are becoming insecure about
themselves. These physical ideals are completely unattainable, and as responsible and loving parents,
each and every one of us needs to consistently instill the importance of positive self image and
healthy eating within our children. What kids learn when they are young, they will take on
throughout the rest of their lives.

Chapter Two - Saving time cooking
Plan, plan, plan ahead!
"A man who dares to waste one hour of life has not discovered the value of life." - Charles Darwin.
Ok, so we have already figured out that there are not enough hours in the day to get everything we
need to get done, done. However, planning ahead will make mealtimes so much easier!
Take Cindy, a mother of four from Alabama, she was at her wits end before she discovered how to
food plan. "My days just weren't my own and I had no time to myself at all until I discovered these
helpful tips and tricks!“
Planning ahead will allow your family to eat healthily, as well as saving you time and money. It takes a
great deal of initial organization to get yourself into the correct mindset to plan a week’s worth of
meals, but it’s definitely worth it. Through the creation of an organized system, you will manage your
time effectively, thus creating more free time to devote to relaxation, fun family days, and everything
else that a busy mom needs to get done!

Chapter Three - Saving money
shopping
Healthy food Shopping List
When you go out to do your food shopping, take any coupons you may have with you and take into
account any special offers on healthy foods which you enjoy or have yet to taste. Keeping your weekly
or monthly meal plan in mind, or better still, bringing it with you, is the way to avoid overbuying. So
what are the steps to ensuring that your shopping list is healthy?
• Step one - That weekly or monthly meal plan we mentioned, bring it with you. Ensure that each
and every ingredient you will need is written down on it. Follow standard US dietary guidelines or
the ones which are supplied later in the book.
• Purchase a full variety of fresh vegetables and fruit for your family. Bear in mind that it is necessary
to eat at least five portions per day. Green leafy vegetables are an excellent source of nutrients
and do remember to eat plenty of orange colored vegetables too. Food prices often fluctuate
depending on what is in season. Plan your meals accordingly.

Chapter Four - Meal planning
Making a Meal Plan
There are many Americans who know that they need to get on a diet. They can see all of the
supermodels on the television and wish that they looked just like them. They look around at all of
their friends and family and know that they should lose the weight in order to be around for those
that they love. Most Americans know that they should lose weight for a variety of different health
reasons including diabetes, heart problems, and even stroke, but it is hard sometimes to turn down
that extra piece of cake, deep fried chicken or other any of the many other delicious morsels of food
that are so readily available. Getting up and getting the exercise that is needed to keep off the weight
is even more difficult.
Undermines your point about healthy eating and self/body image in the first part of the article.
