Hi everyone!
I've decided to start my own food log so that I can get publicly shamed if I eat something I shouldn't! I started eating better about a month ago after realizing that I am on track to gaining lots of weight. Also, I feed my dog a species-appropriate carnivorous diet and it just make sense to feed myself a species-appropriate diet as well. I am currently not overweight, but it would be nice to lose just a little more. Right now I'm 170cm and 63kg. I was 67kg just a month ago! I think I won't make a goal weight, but just let my body stop the weight loss when it decides.
I don't have any medical issues that I'm trying to resolve, but I would like to prevent any health issues in the future. Previously, my husband and I would eat fast food burgers/ sandwiches, pizza, bagels, cereal, and Chinese take-out daily (I hate cooking). We almost never ate any vegetables or fruit. I was also eating a lot of sweets daily. When I realized what we were eating, I got quite scared so that was a push to start a new lifestyle.
Anyways, now we eat a lazy-style Paleo diet (with dairy and we don't think about what ingredients go into sauces, etc). I'm quite certain that my husband has some sort of lactose intolerance, so we need to work on reducing/eliminating that. We have also cheated quite a bit with sweet alcoholic drinks, chips, etc (basically every weekend). I don't feel too guilty about it yet since it is such a huge improvement to what we ate before. However, I am ready to be even more healthy and cut that stuff out completely. One other big problem that I have is that I can always eat even though I may feel full. The nice thing about eating high fat is that I feel full to the point of feeling sick and then I stop eating. This is my biggest problem, but it is nice that Paleo seems to be able to control that issue with me. I also have the problem of wanting to snack 24/7. Not sure how to tackle that problem yet...
Anyways, today:
Breakfast: 2 cups coffee with milk
Lunch: a large plate of raw kelp noodles, raw mushrooms, pizza sauce (left over in the fridge), and shredded cheese all mixed together (was quite good actually!).
Snacks: ate a slice of uncooked bacon (not sure if that's dangerous to do) and a green apple. Also some peanuts (didn't know that they were a legume when I bought them, but will try to stay away now). And also a chunk of cheese.
Dinner: decided to try a smoothie- cup of carrots, one strawberry, and half a cup of kale blended in orange juice. It looked terrible, but was very good!
Miscellaneous info: I was bored today (end of the semester) so I decided to attempt to dehydrate apple slices and make apple chips out of them. They are still drying in the oven, so don't know how they turned out yet.
I have many more places for improvement, but I am hopeful!
