I Dare You To Have Habits Like Rabbits


The only fat rabbit I have ever seen was one who was cooped up in a cage. Otherwise rabbits seems to always be hopping and running around - except when they take a short break to much on some plants.

Salads with lots of veggies are often called "rabbit food" which is always good for healthy dieting! Can there be a more perfect health snack than those mini carrots?

I don't think rabbits sit down very often for a huge meal at the end of the day and gorge themselves. Instead they nibble and graze eating less - more often. Research has shown that this is much healthier and more beneficial when dieting, because the body doesn't go into starvation mode when meals are skipped.

Hmmmmm .... let's review.

1) Rabbits exercise all through the day - hopping here and there.
2) Rabbits eat lots of veggies with good nutrition and low in calories.
3) Rabbits graze and eat smaller portions more often in the day.

Yes, it sounds like following the health habits of rabbits is no magic trick - just good common sense.

Friends of Amanda and Paul have told them that "they eat like a rabbit." They grew up vegetarian and have continued throughout their marriage. They have a blog website EatLikeARabbit.net. Here is a link from their site which highlights some of their favorite vegetarian cookbooks - you know recipes for rabbits!


I dare you to have healthy habits - just like rabbits!
