It’s known as diet and exercise; you hear it all the time when talking about weight loss. It is really simple to blame the food industry on why so many more people are obese today, but what you eat is your decision and healthy food is available to everyone who is interested in eating healthy. Sometimes people have a hard time fitting a workout into their busy schedule. You can procrastinate a simple workout all you want, but it doesn’t take a lot to take the stairs instead of the elevator, take a fifteen minute walk every night, or to play an active game with your family. Instead of video games, encourage your children to play outside when it is warm and get them to have an active lifestyle.
3-Day Diet Analysis SCI241 1/20/2012 3-Day Diet Analysis When I first read the assignment for today I knew I was in nutritional trouble. First of all I do not eat 3 full meals throughout the day for my schedule is very hectic. On a good day, I may eat one meal a day and it’s normally a salad or fast food. With my schedule it’s hard to really calculate anything because some days I forget to eat. On those days, I sometimes drink Ensure to and take vitamins to make up for the nutrients I did not intake throughout the day.
I actually hit the mark at 100% putting my intake at 72, and carbohydrates were nowhere near my needed intake, I was in the red below at 49%. My DRI for protein is 65-227g, which I met with 101g, but for those based on my body weight I was 101g, which put me over at 157%. Yes, my diet provided an adequate variety of foods. I do not think my choice is monotonous as I ate different types of food for my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the food pyramid, it is recommended to eat from all five groups and I even tried eating from all the groups but my numbers of servings were lower than expected.
They state that if people eat more, they just need to work out more to burn their extra calories. They seem to focus on self-control to keep their life healthy. In her article, “eat more, weight less”, Sarah represents her way to loss pounds by eating more than usual. Her nutritionist suggests her to eat more but she has many small meals through a day. She also has a strict plan for yoga, workout and weight training.
The amount of servings from each food group and vitamins are about right. I could work on lowering the amount of Sugars I consume though. The Mac Diet says that I eat more than
Although, I have been eating healthier, they are still far from perfect. The other difference is that I do exercise daily. I do try to eat healthy everyday, and let me tell you it’s very easy to go the McDonalds route. I tried to starve myself for long periods without any food consumption. That was not a good thing to do because it affected my metabolism and energy.
Of course, if you ate five to six thousand calories a day you would gain a substantial amount of weight very quickly. To get the proper amount of nutrients and minerals without eating that much food you need to have the proper supplementation. I take a multivitamin daily to get the essential nutrients and minerals I am missing out on. I also take a joint support pill to combat all of the stress I put on my joints from the distance running I do. I also take an antioxidant pill to offset the lack of vegetables in my diet.
In Persia most people follow the traditional eating habit. This means eating a big breakfast, big lunch, and a small dinner. We follow this schedule because humans are much more active from morning to evening, so you can burn the calories that you consume during that time, but there is no time to burn off a big dinner because you want to sleep. When I came to America I changed my eating habit to the American way of eating dinner and I gained a lot of weight. I changed back to the Persian eating schedule and now I am healthy and happy.
Three Day Food Intake SCI220 November, 1 2011 Three Day Food Intake My personal three day food intake average was a little over 2200 calories per day. Completing meals healthier and with lower calories will help me stay healthy and lose weight. The average calorie intake for a person my age and weight is over 3600 calories (iProfile 2.0, 2011). Eating foods low in fat and sugars will not only help me lose weight, but also make my body feel better. Compared to my previous one day food intake of 5600 calories this three day diet is noticeably better.
Stevens Villalon 10/22/2013 EN 101 - Composition 1 Prof. Della Fera “Defense of food” Eating processing food is killing us slowly without our permission. Everyone needs to eat something every day.
