What is your diet like?

I've never heard of that before, is it good?

 

Loads??

lol

 

Is the cuss cuss suppose to say couscous ?

 

I eat a lot of veggies, rice, and beans, a good bit of pasta and bread, a little bit of meat and a little bit of fruit.

I eat a lot of healthy fat but I eat a lot of carbs too so I guess I'm not experiencing the full benefits of a high fat diet

 

Pretty good diet. Generally don't eat junk food of any kind. No pop, candy, fast food, gas station food, cake, ice cream, processed foods, blah, blah....you get the idea.

 

I put a lot of effort into eating properly and cooking from scratch rather than processed foods.

I think that variety of food and food groups at all times is essential and exercise that is moderate as well goes a long way to not only overall health but dictates consumption.

Cooking methods also have an impact on nutrition.

I do not believe in fads or diets, instead a rounded menu and activity will for most people maintain health.

 

it means she eats her words when she gets too vulgar.

 

I try and eat in ways that align with my ethical views. I abstain from all meat and avoid factory-farmed dairy products. I think it's important to eat as many whole foods as possible. I love to imagaine new, interesting, and flavorful ways to maintain a vegetarian diet. I love food and all of the things that go with it.

 

yeah, it's wasteful to just eat part of your food...

Right now I'm almost 7 months pregnant so my diet is healthy and rich in proteins, good fats and nutrients. I have lots of BBQed meats, fish and seafood, various leafy greens, tons of fruits (all kinds, love them!), low fat dairy, nuts, beans, coconut milk and olive oil for cooking. On the downside, I never ate so much ice cream of all my life... which is I try to have frozen yogurt instead whenever I can, so I can indulge without the negative impact on my waistline.

 

I don't see how frozen yogurt would have any less impact on your waistline since it has even more sugar than ice cream. Indulging in frozen yogurt is no better health-wise or from a weight gain perspective than indulging in ice cream. If anything, the ice cream is more satiating because of the higher fat content, so a person might not eat as much of it.

 

Thanks for the info! Next time at the grocery I'll compare the labels between ice cream and frozen yogurt, and also between brands too. Some must be better than others regarding the sugar and fat contents, right? And what about soy based or "light" frozen dairy, such as this Skinny Cow brand?

 

I doubt there is much of a difference between brands since they pretty much all use the same primary ingredients. If there is a difference, it's marginal at best. While frozen yogurt might be lower in fat, it's got a higher sugar content, and sugar plays far more of a role in weight gain than fat does. Plus people tend to eat more when they eat frozen yogurt, partly because they have bought into the myth that you can indulge in it without the consequences, which of course is a fallacy.

Skinny Cow brand products are a joke. Their products are marketed as "low fat," but that's BS since these products are loaded with sugar, and sugar, as I stated before, contributes to obesity more than anything. The name implies that you will get skinny eating their products, when in reality they keep you fat like a cow. So I guess Skinny COW is a fitting name for this junk food.

 

Mine various according to what I'm doing.
Sometimes I'll do a lot of weight training, which means lots of protein supplements.
Other times I might be travelling with work. Others, it'll be office based or lots of eating out.

I don't eat much red meat. Like lots of fish and chicken. Try and eat lots of fresh vegetables and some fruit.
I can avoid snacks and sweet stuff for months no problem. Don't really drink much alcohol these days, altho I can still push it down after a day's reclimatisation.

I like my food like my women. Hot, spicy and different types of foreign. : - /

 

Been eating one big usually unhealthy meal a day lately + no exercise + lotta smoking

 

My diet is slowly getting better. I still need to speed up my metabolism though so I'll be having breakfast in the coming weeks. Missus suggests fruit, yogurt and oats. Sounds bloody delish I reckon.

Anyone have other suggestions? I've read green tea helps but for some reason that always makes me feel deathly ill afterwards for 15 or so minutes.

 

Eliminating sugar and refined carbs is the most effective tool for weight loss. I would not recommend excessive amounts of fruit, yogurt or oats. Low sugar fruits like blackberries and strawberries are fine in moderation. Yogurt is OK as long as it is plain with no added sugar and full fat. I would advise against oats altogether because they cause a blood sugar spike and ensuing insulin response which causes you to store fat.

 

You're not my real dad!

 

I have liked to play around with my diet a lot -vegetarian sprees, gluten free sprees.

I do occasionally have fast food, but for the most part my shopping is at Whole Foods. The rule I use is to put as many colours into your diet as possible. Green vegetables, blue berries, red strawberries, yellow peppers, oranges, bananas, et cetera et cetera.

My hardest habit to kick is my love for soda. I am currently trying to limit myself to two sodas a week, as none just would be too depressing. I struggled with this a lot, but found that by replacing it with seltzer water and some juice and/or a fruit smoothie, I found satisfaction. The sugars from fruit are easier to burn off and easier for your body to process and with the addition of green tea, it can level out the "blood sugar spike". I've really been into the kale and quinoa trend, and trying to eat super foods at least once a week. Most importantly keep a varied diet

Pressed_rat. Are you sure your diet of fasting isn't bad for your metabolism? (Not judging or anything, mostly curious) Nutritionists ideas seem to go all over the place, but I thought eating roughly 5 small meals a day was the most ideal situation for building a fast metabolism. It's really cool to hear that you reached a good state in your 30s that you feel happy about!

R0llin, I too get those "food headaches" fucking shit. Sometimes I don't realize I'm hungry until I'm sick lol the head notices before the stomach
