Eating food

What is good for you and what is bad for you ?

This phrase is thrown around quite frequently, when it comes to various aspects of life but lets stop and consider the issue of food.

The reason why I don't say nutrition is because of the following reasons.

1. I am not a dietetics professional by trade.

2. Nor do I have anything significant to say about studies or data published in the area.

However I do want to say something about my personal journey with food and what I have learned.

A little recap

When I was in my younger and well into my late teens. I would always indulge myself to the point of no return. In my High school years from (13-18) I would go from being roughly 78kgs at age 13. Then when I finished high school at 18 I weighed in at 117kgs. That meant I put on about 39kgs in a period of 6 years.

When I went to my doctors visit after the HSC finishing my major exams. I was told that I was very obese (no sugar coating here). I had the potential to have very serious problems past the age of 25 if I kept on going the way I was going. In short things would get really bad if I continued with the food I ate on a daily basis.

Okay I got given the bad news now what ? What should I do to give myself the best shot of not eating my way into a web of problems ?

The message is simple cut out the carbohydrates keep the foods that give you energy as well as sustain you during the day.

It also helps to have foods that are full of fiber so that you will feel fuller for longer.

I'll talk about more things to do with this post later on.

I thought I would share my story with food.

I hope you get some use out of it.

Thanks
