Being a healthy eater requires that you become both educated and smart about what healthy eating actually is.  Being food smart isn't about learning to calculate grams or fat, nor is it about studying labels and counting calories.

Healthy eating is all about balanced and moderate eating. Healthy eaters don't just eat the traditional three meals a day, but rather several meals spread out throughout the day.  Healthy eaters eat many different types of foods, not limiting themselves to one specific food type or food group.

Eating healthy requires quite a bit of flexibility. You might eat too much or not enough, consume foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious. However, you should always fuel your body and your brain regularly with enough food to keep both your mind and body strong and alert.

A healthy eater is a good problem solver.  Healthy eaters have learned to take care of themselves and they are eating with sound judgment and making wise decisions.  Healthy eaters are always aware of what they eat, and know the effect that it will have on their bodies.

If someone is unable to take control of his or her eating, they are frequently out of control with other aspects in their life as well.  They may also be spending too much, talking too much, drinking too much and even going to bed later and later. 

To some extent their lives may be out of control.  Bringing their eating habits into line with healthy foods is one way to begin bringing their lives in line as well.  Establishing a routine of eating healthy foods will help establish other routines to do away with the bad habits which have built up over the years.

You should always remember that restricting food in any way is never a good thing.  Healthy eating is a way of life, something that you can do to enhance your body or your lifestyle.  If you've thought about making your life better, healthy eating is certainly a good place to start.  You'll make life easier for yourself and those around you, particularly your family.
