Are you health conscious when choosing what to eat?

Question

sage2021 · Accepted Answer

I didn't have an appetite after my boyfriend died six months ago.

I have gone without eating for weeks when tragedy strikes me.

So, instead of not eating at all, I have the same thing everyday because I don't want anything else or I'll GaG on it.

So, everyday my friend goes to Subway sandwich shop and buys me a 12" with fried eggs, 2 whole sliced avacados🥑 and mayonnaise.
I also get a bowl of plain mashed potatoes from KFC - comfort food.

It's kept me alive so far 👍

I eat to live, I do not eat to get pleasure. Some foods are pleasurable, but they are chosen for health reasons. Even when I eat for pleasure, I still consider health. At my last trip to Wendy's I did not put condiments on my burger cause Dr. Berg says you should not eat fat and sugar in the same meal unless your sugar is unprocessed such as an apple or carrot that has no chemicals added to it.

I've gotten a lot more conscious of it in recent months. I always thought I was pretty good, but I had a come to Jesus moment a little while ago where I realized that I eat/used to eat a lot of bullshit 😂

No mo' country fried steak for this boy. They say that abs are made in the kitchen and not the gym. It's time for me to get real about that.

Yes, 95% of the time. Zero sugar is almost a must for me. If possible I'd go zero sugar all the way with everything. However every now and then I crave and indulge in a  or a McMenu.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

yes... except for the moments when, because of stress, I forget to eat...

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Yes. I can’t stand fast foods… so we get our foods from local farmers … we also avoid big supermarkets…we really don’t need 99% of the stuff there…

we get meat, milk, eggs from the farmers… if we can’t grow our own veggies/fruits then we get from the market in the winter.
hubby can make yogurt from fresh milk… so we eat very basic.
we do eat some junk food sometimes… but only like 5-10% of the time…

So, I used to stress over portion sizes, macro allocations, eating windows, etc. Then I stopped competing, but those habits haven't left. I'll still choose bakers chocolate 100% cocoa over Hersheys, not because its healthier; I just think it taste better

electromagnetic · Answer

I’m thankful I don’t have a sweet tooth. Generally speaking, I eat a well balanced diet because I like lifting and I find it hard to workout when l haven’t eaten enough or not the right kinda foods.

Sonorous · Answer

Yes. I eat for the energy & nutrients I need. I weigh everything I eat & make sure that I'm eating within the portion size relative to my goals.

Ohayosekai · Answer

Ofc, there is no other choise! I'm very conscious when i eat, doesn't really matter what it is, just the spiritual practise is essential in order to stay eternal. I went 37 days without food and 7 days without water and after that i became an eternal God. I learned the secrets of the universe. And no, i won't tell you lol. All i can say is good people live, and evil people die. That is one of the laws of nature. Perhaps the most essential.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

For me it's a sometimes. I'll decide what to eat if I know what I might be having for my dinner. And then I'll decide on a snack (which is usually unhealthy).

NathanDavis · Answer

for the most part, yes... eat fresh, eat balanced... eat at home the less processed the better

WhiteSteve · Answer

Probably too much. I agonize too much about my diet, lmao. But at my age, one false move, and your shirt has to stay on at the beach😅

OtterMan68 · Answer

I gave up refined sugar back in November and stick to pretty much a Keto diet mon-friday, but even when I splurge on the weekends, I check. For example, at Firehouse subs, I was torn between two subs but chose the one with fewer calories.

Yoursweetgirl · Answer

Yes, I always try to balance protein, carbs, fiber and fats and drink enough water. I have chest days though and if I eat cake or drink soda, I don't overthink it.

exitseven · Answer

Yes, I try to limit carbs and recently I have cut way back in Pepsi. I just have it when I eat out which is only once or twice a month.
