Personal Narrative-Flaky Diet

In life, many people participate in various daily events and activities that help them enjoy being who they are. People may enjoy getting together with friends, going to the mall, going to an amusement park or simply finding relaxation in nature. However, a big part of everyone’s life is of course eating and many people find pleasure in doing so. Eating is a very enjoyable and delectable must for everyone but should be done so, like everything in life, in a smart and intelligent way. Being smart and perceptive when eating is a large part of nutrition.

Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously

Over the past four days, I have examined every aspect of my diet ranging from the amount of calories to the amount of fats I take in. As a type one diabetic, I have always been conscious of the amount of carbs I take in as I have to maintain my blood glucose levels within a certain range. However, after closely monitoring my food consumption for the past four days, I am able to see the strengths and weaknesses of my diet. One disclaimer I would like to point out to the readers of this report in advance are that my diet and exercise regimen have been severely cut back to a lot for the fractured vertebrae.

My daily diet should contain a balance of proteins, carbohydrates (carbs), and lipids (collectively called macronutrients). According to Kirby (2011), micronutrients are substances such as vitamins, and minerals that are essential for healthy growth and developments. The body only requires small quantities of micronutrients and without them serious problems can arise. The role of each micronutrient makes proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids equally important in my diet. Proteins are important for repair and tissue growth, helps the body to make enzymes and hormones, as well as preserve lean muscle mass and is a source of energy. Carbohydrates are the body main source of energy and are easily broken down into glucose

In this report it will be analyzing my personal diet. I analyzed myself over a 3 day period. During this period, I analyzed my eating habits on national holidays versus my day to day life. I am a 20 year old female (not pregnant or lactating) I estimate my weight to be 195 lbs. and my height is 5 foot 6 inches. My daily activity level is sedentary. My job is as a leasing professional and in that profession there is some foot traffic but not much. There is also limited heavy lifting. Out of work I participate in limited physical activity. I rock climb on some occasions and attend the gym occasionally. My personal goals currently is to stay healthy. As I lessen my work load I would like to increase my physical activity with strength training and cardio. Pertaining to my nutrition within the 3 days due to their being a holiday I ate more meat than usual. I try to add more vegetables to my diet. Fruit are not often added to my meals due to how quickly they decompose. I eat mostly organic products and limited dairy. I try to avoid bread and pasta and use vegetables as substitute in recipes that require them.

What happens if you eat too few carbohydrates? What happens if you eat too few lipids?

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.

Well it's time to say goodbye to 2016 and hello to 2017, or in Numerological terms goodbye to the year of "9" and hello to "1". 2016 was a year to deal with any unfinished business; to forgive, rest, and resolve. 2017 brings forward the universal energy of a 1 which is associated with creative possibility, learning, and growth. The intentions you set forth at the beginning of 2017 will be the seeds you plant for the coming 9 year cycle. It may be a good idea to spend some time on New Year's day sitting in meditation for at least 5 minutes visualizing what this seed will grow into over the next 9 years. What branches do you want to grow on your tree?

In order to familiarize myself with my eating habits, I have analyzed my diet for seven days. By listing the ingredients in each food item, I have discovered that most of my meals are not nutritious. To understand my recommended daily nutrient needs, I used Canada’s Food Guide to assess my intake. I also listened to “Stuffed” Part One and Two, to help me identify some common dietary issues for Americans. The podcasts shed light on the causes of obesity. From this assignment, I have learned that it is essential to closely monitor what and in which amounts I eat in order to maintain my health.

The term “diet” has had many different meanings over the years. The more traditional definition, according to Oxford Dictionaries is “the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats” (“Diet.”). This definition denotes that the word “diet” simply means what any person eats on any given day. However, Oxford Dictionaries also gives the term a more colloquial meaning, “a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons” (“Diet.”). This change in definition came with a slew of different diet plans and celebrity endorsements. A day does not go by without a magazine advertising how you can get a body just like Jennifer Lopez’s or a commercial on TV selling the newest diet

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.
