What's your diet like?
I try to keep mine "well-rounded" and balanced where I can ....
Fruits, veggies, un-refined grains. I like to eat Organic Fruits/Veggies when needed, and Whole grains (rather than whole wheat or whites)....But I also believe in moderation and not depriving ourselves. So I do enjoy what I want on "Treat" days which is one day a week.
I also like to make sure to eat Proteins and carbs together (Such as Eggs with Oatmeal & banana for b'fast)....or (Such as Salad with chicken, eggs, or nuts for lunch or dinner) .
Not sure there is anything I would change as far as that is concerned.
I have changed it to vegan for now 3 months. I think what I would change is the fact that I don't have a food processor to create delicious, different foods to make the variety of what I make interesting. Also I need to drink more water :)
I recently got diagnosed with PCOD, which is a lifestyle disease so I had to completely cut out junk food and a lot of sugar. I eat fruits and veggies and seeds and nuts and Greek yogurts and stuff on a regular basis. Its a more high protein low carb diet because I have crazy hair fall owing to PCOD. The only sugar I consume is in my morning tea but that is an essential part of my survival so not giving that up lol. So far, the diets been pretty okay except when I have to go out. Thats difficult since there are a lot of desserts and I can only eat salads and grilled stuff. But, I have the best skin Ive had in the last three ish years so Im happy
This differs on what you're trying to do and your daily lifestyle. For example, in 'bodybuilding' (or really any style of working out where you want to build muscle), there are 3 things you can do:
-Cut (lose fat, lose some strength but muscles show more)
-Bulk (eat lots, gain fat but muscle strength + growth increases massively)
-Maintenance (keep your current body shape and type without losing or gaining fat and muslce)
I look at it this way because it's a good way to see things. If you wanna lose weight, first one, gain some size if you want to start working out, second one, if you want to be heathy, third one. There's this app you guys can use called MyFitnessPal which can track your calories and you can set goals for yourself. You can search online for how much you should be eating everyday with a calorie calculator based on your body fat %, weight and exercise intensity. Although, no matter which one you're doing, it's always best to have a mix of foods. Meats, vegetables, carb and protein sources while keeping the fat low. Not cutting it out, but keeping it low. If anyone needs more info on this I'd be more than happy to help out :) Hope this helped some of you guys out or motivated you to track your diet. It can surprise you!
in fact, I am currently on a liquid diet, so far I like everything - I will share the results later
So I have a 5-meal-a-day diet ( https://betterme.world/articles/5-meals-a-day/ ), also known as a "grazing" or "nibbling" diet, involves eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. This type of diet can help to regulate blood sugar levels, prevent overeating, and boost metabolism. Here's an example of a 5-meal-a-day diet:
Meal 1: Breakfast (7:00 am)
- 1-2 eggs scrambled or boiled
- 1 slice of whole-grain toast
- 1/2 cup of fresh fruit
Meal 2: Mid-morning snack (10:00 am)
- 1 small apple or a handful of berries
- 1 small serving of nuts or seeds
Meal 3: Lunch (12:30 pm)
- 3-4 ounces of grilled chicken or fish
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, etc.)
- 1/2 cup of brown rice or quinoa
Meal 4: Afternoon snack (3:00 pm)
- 1 small serving of Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup of fresh fruit or berries
Meal 5: Dinner (6:00 pm)
- 3-4 ounces of grilled steak or tofu
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, etc.)
- 1/2 cup of sweet potato or butternut squash
