Healthy Eating Journey Research Paper

Improved Essays
Hey Everyone I hope you all are having a fantastic day. Mine has been pretty busy today. I wanted to get on here and make a post about my healthy eating journey. I know I had mentioned it in another post, but I thought that It was something that deserved its own post. I need to mention that I am in no way a health professional I am simply doing what has worked for me. Today I am starting to eat clean. I am not doing any set eating plan its kind of a mixture of what has worked in the past. A key point that I will be doing as well is portion control. Making sure that I am not having to much and not having to little. The biggest thing with my eating that will change is it will be minimal carbs, and sugars. My sugars will come from fruit, so …show more content…
I do my shopping at Fredmeyers and Costco. I buy about 95% of the meat at Costco just because of the price is usually cheaper. I will buy it time to time from Fredmeyer if its on sale. I buy steak, and Spareribs from Fredmeyers though. My fruits I buy from both stores it just depends if I am the only one who is eating it or not. In my house there is just me and my husband so our food lasts us quite awhile. Our meat lasts us awhile as well. I buy a 10b bag of chicken from Costco and that lasts us 2 months sometimes. We also use ground turkey we don 't eat red meat all that much. We do from time to time.

How I do my shopping is I go to the grocery store every 2 weeks.

I have a few boards that are dedicated to healthy eating on Pinterest that is filled with all kinds of different recipes. I will be organizing those more later in the week. I wanted to make this post because I think that it will hold be accountable. I plan on making an update maybe every week but probably more every 2 weeks. I can do what I ate type posts on the weekly basis. Maybe one post about what I ate that week and a quick update. If there are days that I just do not stick to it I will let you know because this is my real life and all I can do is my best.

My meals today have been pretty easy.
Breakfast I have 2 eggs with a 1/2 slice of melted cheese on each, along with a carnation breakfast drink and that was made with unsweetened almond

    The Supermarket “Prime Real Estate” describes how Marion Nestle is explaining to her readers how supermarkets and grocery stores all around the world manipulate shoppers into impulse buying items that are not necessary needs. In her essay “The Supermarket: Prime Real Estate,” she shows how much research has been done to have stores design to the correct layout so their customers spend more money than they intended. Also, it describes how researchers have conducted studies to prove that the placement of items (typically junk food) in the store, will sell more if put in a designated area where people will be able to notice it them, or walk right by it. Although, Nestle mentions the responsibility of customers to shop healthy, the author argues…

    So here's my breakfast: My cinnamon coconut oatmeal (250 calories), peanut butter (190 calories), and this half protein bar that I ate for dinner last night, I don't know its exact calories but I'm guessing 50-100 calories.

    In the future I will adjust my diet by eating the appropriate nutrients for my body to function. In this, I will need to eat more fruits, because my results were not good in that category. I can add some whole fruits as a snack, rather than eating potato chips. My dairy category was not up to par, either. I must admit I do not drink milk, unless it is with cereal.…

    According to WebMD (2010) weight loss has to do with 80% food, 10% training, and 10% genes. Food has always been a problem for me and my weight loss journey.

I felt as though my body was shutting down and at my heaviest I noticed that my knees were hurting more and more each day.…

    This class was actually very interesting and really helped me to open my eyes to the ways in which I have been not focusing on my physical health. When it comes to my present activity level, a lot has changed from the beginning of this class. I have to say that before this class I never made physical activity a priority in my day. I counted walking to class as a form of physical activity, which it was, but not enough. I am a lazy person and would rather be laying around watching Netflix than going to the gym.…
