Personal Narrative: Why I Need To Change In My Diet

I've experienced a lot of events which had great impact on me since I was young. Thinking of life changing events, the one I would like to share is when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It was a very devastating day for me. A day that changed my life. I never thought Id get through but today I can say that Diabetes has changed me for the better.

3) Based on my food guide, I would have to make slight adjustments to what I eat in general because currently, I am lacking food from the Milk and alternatives category. Therefore, I believe that I would need to consume more foods like, Yogurt and Cheese, since I don’t like the taste of milk and it also upsets my stomach. Another adjustment that I would need to make to what I eat in general is that, I should create a limit for my consumption of meat and alternatives category since it looks like I am consuming more than the recommended servings per day, which is two. Last but not least, according to my food guide, it is recommended that I have at least seven servings of fruits and vegetables, therefore, I would try to have another serving of

I need to increase my fiber intake and reduce my sugar intake in order to lead a healthier life. I also need to increase my intakes of vitamin and minerals. Also, as I look through the charts I see that I need to keep my carbohydrate intake constant and limit my protein intake.

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.

Week two has been a bit of a rough week for my behavioral change project. I became sick and was stuck at home for three days this week. This caused me to have a bit of a relapse because when I am not feeling well I turn to things that comfort me. A big comfort for me is technology and I hate to admit it but I binge watched a lot of television this week and I used social media quite often. The worst part is that now that the binge has started I am having a difficult time stopping again. I am so stressed now because I missed a great deal of class and as a result I feel extremely far behind and anxious about if I can make it up successfully. Yet, all I want to do is watch Netflix and in all honesty that is all I have been doing this week. After the first week, I felt so strong (naively so) but now I only feel defeated by my own mind. That is a hard concept for me to grasp because how is it that something that feels so good, relaxing, and happy is so detrimental to my life in the areas of education, work, and relationships? I suppose though that part of the reason we do this project is to see what will make us relapse. For me and

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.

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.

I am a loyal customer of your store at 9 mile rd and Van Dyke in Warren, MI for many years now. Buying my household needs as well as my pharmaceuticals at your store. I am a diabetic without insurance and never had a problem buying my needs at your locations before. Last week that changed.

College is a time of new beginnings in an unfamiliar environment. It allows you to explore your interests and meet new friends that will be with you for a lifetime. College is also a time where you are experiencing life on your own being away from family. That means you have to manage your time efficiently, cook and clean for yourself, and perform daily tasks alone. Deciding what and where to eat are the age-old questions college students asks themselves every day. Do I make a nice meal for once or do I order Domino’s for the 3rd time this week? Should I have a Pop-Tart for dinner or risk it at the dining hall? There’s a reason it’s called the “Freshman 15”, an all you can eat buffet every day isn’t the best for your diet. Add that with a few drinks from week to week and you’re on your way to the college diet. This diet is nothing to be ashamed of, you just need to embrace it. There have been plenty of times where I have asked myself if popcorn and beer is

Make sure you are avoiding simple carbohydrates and taking in healthy ones, such as healthy grains. Now is not the time to be snacking on your favorie salty food.

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.

Instead of dealing with the problems life has thrown my way by drinking or smoking I had controlled my eating. To me my weight was the only thing in my life I could control.

Overall, from doing this project I found that I consume way too much sodium (181% of my daily recommendation) and way too much sugar (328.7% of my daily recommendation). Also I have realized how much I eat out each week, which isn’t the best for my overall health. Eating out multiple times a week greatly affects my sugar and sodium intake because typically fast food or restaurant food contains more salt, sugar, and fat compared to if someone were to cook at home. I have also found that I eat a lot of protein for my body weight, which I was not aware of (278.3% of my daily recommended intake based on my body weight).
