HEALTHY EATING CHALLENGES

Entrants for this contest, which ran from Dec 06 - January 07, were asked to name their greatest healthy eating challenge - and wow, you really let rip! Below are some of the comments you made, on the challenges you face when it comes to eating healthily.

My greatest healthy eating challenge is...

I like healthy food too much. Diana, UK
Providing a variety and creating the right shopping list. Jude, Canada

I'm afraid it won't taste as good as unhealthy food. Rinat, Israel
Being hungry and wanting junk food. Vicki, UK
Finding original and tasty recipes. Massey, France
Time to prepare and cost. Shelly, Canada
I don't do the shopping or cooking. Jacqueline, Canada

I get hungry and want to grab a sweet instead of a carrot! Betty, US
I crave carbs, and when I am depressed or frustrated I eat. Susan, US
Making sure that the kids enjoy the healthy food. Azlan, Australia
Resisting snacks! Especially 100-calorie snack packs which are merely portion control, but not exactly healthy. Natalie, US

Ice cream, cookies, cheese, junk. Basically, being married! Deb, US
