THE ARTICLE REVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This article is entitled Healthy Eating: The Beginner Guide On How to Eat Healthy
Lifestyle and Stick to It. Where would we be without it? The author of this article is James
Clear. The article appeared in the 18th February 2013 issue of the James Clear website. The
writer, James Clear who is a regular writer for his website article and he also already wrote
almost 100 article through his carrier. Basically this article is more about the best or actual
way to guide people about how to eat a healthy food and maintain the way of eating. This
article also mentions about junk food and what makes the junk food so addictive and why
people always choose to eat junk food. However, the writer wants the reader to study
about the bad sides of junk food and want to people avoid it and the writer also wants
people practice to eat a healthy food.
SUMMARY
The environment of also affect the way of healthy eating. There a research made by
Anne Thorndike and her team utilized a concept known as “choice architecture.” Choice
architecture is just a fancy word for changing the way the food and drinks are displayed,
but, as it turns out, it makes a big difference.
This study secretly took place in the hospital cafeteria and helped thousands of people
develop healthy eating habits without changing their willpower or motivation in the
slightest way.
That means that if you take just a little bit of time today to organize your room, your office,
your kitchen, and other areas, then that adjustment in choice architecture can guide you
toward better choices even when your willpower is fading.
There are also some of best practical strategies for using choice of architecture to
make healthy eating easier. “ A smaller plates”, if you made a simple change and served
your dinner on 10-inch plates instead of a 12-inch plate, you would eat 22% less food over
the course of the next year. The usage of the high contrast colour plates with your food

must matches the colour of your food, you naturally serve yourself more because your brain
has trouble distinguishing the portion size from the plate.
THE CRITIQUE
The tittle Healthy Easting: The Beginner Guide On How to Eat Healthy is very pack of
information to the reader ponder about the intention and purpose of the writer. Generally,
when someone starts eating they doesn’t think about the effect and impact to the body.
Their main only focused on the delicious and tasty food like junk food and soda.
However, the reality is that may harm the consumer because its lots of non-nutrition
things in the junk food. Therefore, the author persuaded the reader to eat a healthy food
and maintain the healthy lifestyle. More than that, the writer wants the reader to consider
about the healthy lifestyle eating ways and how to maintain the healthy eating style to the
reader daily life.
The writer main objective is to gain attention to the reader and educate them about
the healthy eating lifestyle. If we cared to take a serious look and analyse about how food
give a big impact to our health, I can guarantee that every people will take care seriously
and maintain their daily healthy eating lifestyle.
I believe the author aim here is to motivate and educate people on how to eat
healthy lifestyle and stick to it. All of the method that have been suggested by the author to
the reader will give them a brainwash about the way to stick to the healthy eating style. This
will inspire the reader to change their eating style and move to the healthy style. In that
sense, this article has succeeded in its objective.
The article is written for the general reader as it uses very simple language and
narrative genre used by the writer makes it very interesting to read. The writer has the
rather serious massage to convey to the reader but the way he delivers the message using
anecdotes and accounts of expeditions makes the article appealing to most reader. Without
the narrative anecdotes, the article would be too didactic and boring to read. In that sense,
James Clear has succeeded in conveying its message to the reader in a very interesting and
effective manner.

This article could be more up to date if the author had quoted some new recent
ways to maintain the healthy eating style. Most of his example are taken from the early part
of the twentieth century as a result, are somewhat irrelevant to present generation reader.
Young reader would be able to relate better to something that is more contemporary.
However, that is not to take away the author credit who has generally one an excellent job
to convince reader about the important healthy eating style and the way to maintain it.
CONCLUSION
Frankly, I enjoyed reading and reflecting on the ideas expressed by the writer in his
article. It is in essence, a motivational article. The writer has successfully conveyed his
message of motivation to the reader about the eating style. This relevant method of healthy
eating will educate people about it and relevant quotation add spice to the flavour of the
text and make it more interesting and appealing to the reader. The article enough to cover
all the relevant information but short enough to sustain the interest of a casual reader.
