Survey: Americans Believe They Eat Healthy, But Most Don't...
Dear Reader,
Would you believe it... 90% of Americans claim they eat a healthy diet, but our well-known love of sugary drinks and calorie-laden foods suggests otherwise.
So while many people are trying to eat right... lots of us are making big time mistakes according to a November 2010 Consumer Reports Health telephone poll of 1,234 adults, few of whom kept track of their health - 52.6% of these said their diet was "somewhat" healthy, 31.5% reported their diets to be "very" healthy, and 5.6% claimed to be "extremely" healthy eaters.
The thing is, 43% of the respondents said they drank at least one sweetened soda or sugar sweetened coffee (or tea) drink a day. Only around 25% said they limited the amount of sweets and fat they took in each day. Four in ten admitted to taking in less than five servings of fruits and veggies each day. The same number also told the consumer group that they usually chose refined carbs over healthy whole grains.
Hard to find the healthy eating here, isn't it?
According to Nancy Metcalf, the senior program editor for Consumer Reports Health, eating in this way sabotages a healthy eating plan and adds to your waistline.
Certainly drinking added calories is a bad idea - a much better choice is a diet soda (or water) and a piece of fruit. This satisfies the craving for something sweet, without adding the calories.
Another no-no the survey found, Americans rarely, if ever, count calories. Just 13% weigh themselves every day. According to the CDC, keeping an eye on your calories is a must if you're trying to watch your weight. It's no surprise than that 33% were startled to learn that their self reported healthy weight was actually in the overweight (25.0-29.9) or obese (over 30.0) BMI range.
It's clear there's a disconnect between what people perceive as a healthy diet and what they do in real life. Metcalf's advice... write down everything you eat for a week - then look at the list and ask yourself, "Is this a healthy diet?" Chances are, when you see precisely what you are eating, as opposed to what you think you've been eating, you'll see there's room for improvement.

Survey: Americans Believe They Eat Healthy, But Most Don't... Continued...
And that's the good news out of the survey; Americans did exhibit some healthy
eating habits. A full 78% said they ate breakfast every day, which has long been
associated with better weight control. What's more, the breakfast choices are
healthier too, fruit, fruit juice or cold cereal (Cheerios was number one) were
tops among survey respondents. Doing this keeps hunger from getting foothold,
so you have a better chance of staying on track, resisting snacks or the nearly
irresistible urge to binge at that next meal.
When it came to eating fruits and veggies, one third of respondents said they
ate the recommended five (or more) servings a day. The most popular veggies were
lettuce or salad greens, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, corn and peppers.
The least favorite - parsnips, Swiss chard, bok choy, turnips and rutabagas,
artichokes, eggplant and okra.
Experts, including government ones, agree, eating lots of fruits and veggies,
particularly the brightly colored ones that have higher levels of vitamins and
minerals, is essential. As is putting aside the refined carbs and sugar sweetened
drinks. Avoiding all the processed foods and choosing whole grains instead are
also the things you need to be doing, really doing, in order to give your body
the healthy fuel it needs.
To your good health,
