Personal Narrative: A High-Fat Meal

or the muscles. After a few hours whether in training or competition, the glycogen stores become low or depleted and exhaustion may quickly occur. The best way to avoid this effect is to eat the right type of carbohydrate, in its complex state. This will allow you to build up your glycogen stores rather than convert to glucose. When you are low on carbohydrates your brain does not function very well and you will not be as alert and may be more prone to injure yourself. Your body will replenish these energy stores more effectively right after your workout and the following hour. To improve your recovery, eat carbohydrates right after and again within 1.5 hours later. This will help you restore your energy (blood glucose and muscle glycogen)

Hey Everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week. Mine went by pretty fast. I have been sick this week, and I am finally almost over it. Yay. So today for my fitness friday I wanted to talk a little bit on my progress. I have not weighed in yet, but I am going to do that soon. I have to say overall my clothes are fitting looser. Which in my book is a plus. I have been eating pretty clean staying away from a lot of breads until today I did have some bread for lunch. I totally failed at taking pictures today! I will insert a picture of a smoothie I had a few days ago because it was the exact same kind, and looked the same. Today I got my butt out there and did some excersise. I am one of those people who find it tough to really workout in the winter, due to me loving to workout outside, but where I live we have been getting rain.

Switching to a low carb diet to lose weight is not easy. Within the first week, you're bound to run into some serious low carb diet cravings.

Our country is notable for countless aspects in its culture, one of the more prominent aspects being the American Diet. Though our diet is primarily a blend of foods from foreign cultures, there are distinct differences: portion sizes, excess empty calories, and overall nutritional value. To us, food outstrips the three main meals of the day – it is used to celebrate holidays, for comfort, and at many social gatherings. This is where the problem lies.

many people are scared of eating fat and carbohydrate because they think that it will increase the fat percentage. Therefore get that carbohydrates and fats are good for providing energy the body. If you eat a banana before your training session, it will help you work out with good energy. You can also consume a tablespoon of honey with water before exercising. Honey will dissolve fast in your body and it will enhance the energy level in your body.

As we eat protein, fat and carbohydrates, as the main energy source, carbohydrates or glucose (simple sugar) break down into complex molecules. We need steady supply of glucose in between meals and at times like doing extensive workouts, there is an elevated demand for

A few weeks ago someone came up to me and told me that they absolutely adored my workbook, Break Up With Your Diet. She said that she was reading it when she went away for the weekend with a group of friends.

For a one hundred and eighty pound guy like myself, there are several paths I could take that would lead me, nutritionally, to a healthy lifestyle. The most appealing to me have been the more meat based diets. These include a good deal of steak, chicken, and other meats that would help give me protein throughout the day.

The scorching hot sun blinded my eyes as looked up. I suddenly started to think about that Glucose ad that was on T.V. The ad was always amusing, the sun sucking out the energy of the little boy with a straw as he played cricket outside with his friends, his mother gives him a Glucose drink then he gets all charged up. I wish mother had made me a Glucose drink too, the sun was tiring. It was sports day today, I had always come and watched my brother on sports day. He always won something, sometimes first, sometimes second, sometimes third. This was my first time competing.

Therefore, nutritional strategies to increase body carbohydrate stores or carbohydrate availability are considered to be potentially beneficial for maintaining or improving performance capabilities”(Nutrition Bytes, (1)). In this way, choosing to follow the standard American diet which is low in carbohydrates and high in protein and fats is contradictory to the blood sugar stability our bodies are designed to function off of. “'Carb loading', short for carbohydrate loading, is a strategy used by athletes to maximize endurance during physical exercise. By consuming large amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods, individuals can increase energy reserves and improve performance (Nutrition Bytes, 3(1))”. In the grandiosity of this example, carb loading reinforces my hypothesis of how carbohydrates based diets is the most efficient source of dietary component to combat fatigue. For this reason, I now plan to continue a life that focuses on an abundance of carbohydrates from sugar, starches, and fibers as I have never felt so awake in my

There once was a time when when I had so much self doubt it could fill an entire ocean, it was the 4th grade, and it all started by a kid named Joe, Joe was the meanest kid in school, Joe wasn’t just a kid he was like some super villain, and I guess in this particular story the superhero doesn’t win. It was the first day of the 4th grade, I walked in as confident as ever, because of my brand new fire truck red cape and a blue rubber mask, as I walked into school Joe lll approached me and said

Throughout the years, fast food is becoming more and more of an outlet for many people that are short on change, in a rush but still need to grab a bite to eat, or even who are just too lazy to cook a meal. Fast food is very cheap, yet when we eat it we don’t necessarily realize the price we pay when we are starting to gain weight. Who is to blame? The person that is addicted to fast food, or the fast food restaurants? I agree fast food is cheap, yet delicious. I understand that it may get addicting, I do not believe that it is the restaurants fault for your lack of self-control. Eating fast food all the time can put you up against some major health risks. As claimed by, “Fast Food and Obesity,” Every 4 out of 10 adults in the USA will

A dietitian needs to be able to talk professionally, medically, and on a level at where a patient can understand. More importantly than that, the dietitian needs to be able to explain to the patient what is going on, but at the same time not worry them. “Interpersonal communication competence is an important skill for dietitians because it is the main method by which they conduct their practice” (Capra). Not only is it important to be a successful dietitian, but it is also important to feel the identity of being a dietitian. In an interview with a registered dietitian, Deborah Dillon, when asked what the most important traits of a dietitian were, she stated, “people skills, communication skills, and organizational skills”.

house where several other families turn up. In total, there were six or seven kids my age. The parents were inside the house talking and eating food, while the kids played outside amongst each other. None of the kids are truly relevant to the story, therefore their personalities don't need much explanation. The layout of the outside was sloped down toward Lake Murray and had grass and rocks all around.

A flaky golden top, firm curvy edges, and a sweet filling that will make you come back for more. I am easily swayed with the seductive scent of cinnamon apple or the summer fresh flavour of strawberry rhubarb pies. The crust is the most important part of that savoury or sweet luscious slice. Without that flaky wall, it would just be pudding, or stew.
