As if eating right wasn't strong enough, Monopoly comes second to McDonald's. Hash browns are nearly inconceivable to refuse when they fall with the potentiality to win a zillion bucks.
Monopoly or not, I attached to losing the burden I gained this summer and have (so far) successfully avoided frequenting the McDonald's that sits across the street from my house calling my name every evening.
In the interest of a healthier lifestyle, I sought out advice on how and what to eat to reach a better body. I consulted the healthiest person I know, Magen Lee.
She looks like she knows what she's doing, but she's more than a hot body. She's currently working toward a master's in nutritional sciences and dietetics and is in the heart of Tech's dietetic internship program to get a registered dietician.
She outlined some common mistakes students take when it comes to eating habits:
1) Breakfast: She said skipping breakfast is usual among students because they are running low on meter in the morning. This leads people to have more of their calories later in the day, an ineffective way to hold a healthy diet. Personally, this is not my problem. I love eating from the sentence I rouse up to the sentence I go to sleep, so I'm set, right? Well, she added what's on the menu matters, as well. She recommends a lean protein accompanied by complex carbohydrates for every meal, breakfast included. Bummer. I thought a Reese's and a glaze of chocolate milk was working out reasonably good for me.
2) Alcohol: Another common mistake students work in their diet choices is alcohol consumption. Saving up calories to fling at night on alcohol is not recommended. "There is absolutely no nutrient value in alcohol," she said. "It's basically just empty calories, and it's a dreadful idea."
3) Strictly counting calories is another mistake. If you're attempting to get a sound balance, it is more significant to be interested with maintaining balance than tallying every calorie.
"For instance, I'm not one who cares about calories," Lee said. "I put things in my body that my body knows how to metabolize - good, clean foods."
She said by eating unprocessed foods, chemicals don't get in the way of letting your body know when it's hungry and when it's full, a key component to maintaining a hefty weight.
Lee and I agreed that rest is key. Anyone who shares my attitude toward food would receive it unacceptable to harness all these eating mistakes at once. She encouraged me, and I encourage you, to start low and pay close attention to the positive effects a healthier diet has on your body.
In meeting my goals, I will do my best to be her lead. I'll start small with tossing an unhealthy habit. For me, that way no more soda. I'll also focusing on drinking more water and taking a daily multivitamin, two things she said are paramount and frequently overlooked.
Nobody wants to consume time losing weight or getting in figure by following outrageous guidelines. I've already tried never eating anything white, only drinking grapefruit juice, and replacing meals with weight loss shakes. I'll pass the following two weeks without soda and add more water and a multivitamin, as good as tweak my fruit and vegetable intake and let you live next time if it's worth a shot.
