I've been working with nutritionist, @lindseykee for a couple of weeks now. I have observed over the past two weeks that I prefer to drink my calories instead of eating them. __ It threw me for a loop because I love to eat, but I've found throughout the process that I actually don't. I eat because I have to eat. The upside is that I prefer good food over junk food. The downside is I usually wait until I'm starving to eat. I get caught up in my day to day and forget to eat breakfast. Lunch I'll grab a salad or a meal at a local spot. Based on that meal it will determine if I eat dinner or not. I've found on a good day that I'm eating approximately 1500 calories a day. You would think I would be smaller, but I'm not because I drink my calories. In between coffee, water, and the occasional bottle of wine or soda, that's the range of my diet. Crazy huh. I am thankful for Lindsey because she's training me how to eat properly. __ It's crazy that I've been eating like this for such a long time and that it seemed reasonable. You would think that I had an eating disorder but I don't. After years of dieting and signing up for every eating plan known to man, I simply don't know how to eat properly. She's been amazing as she's working with me along the way. How has yo-yo dieting influenced your eating plan? Good or bad? #somethingsabouther #eating101 #foodis (at Avondale, Arizona)

Mirliton: is it delicious?

Mirlitons have mild sweet taste and crispy texture, the character which makes them suitable for the preparation of raw salads, and slaws. But ofcourse in our country The Philippines, we use it in variety of dishes! -Carl Eisma

The Science Behind College Diets

How many times have you gone to your college dining hall and made a conscious effort to pick your food? Although many of you do actively avoid the dessert bar or sodas, are you careful about having a balanced meal? If you do give conscious effort, surprisingly enough, you are one of few.

In a study of female freshmen, researchers surveyed various subjects in a variety of areas using careful sampling techniques in order to determine the eating habits of these freshmen. For these subjects, researchers focused on responses when they asked their subjects about their daily intake of fruits and vegetables. As the responses grew more and more nuanced and technical do to the unwillingness of a few subjects, the answer became very clear. The subjects admitted to consuming a larger proportion of carbohydrates, sweets, and protein than recommended while consuming fewer vegetables and fruit. However, these results were found to be indicative of the entire population of college freshmen—a group apparently struggling with their increase in autonomy regarding food. Due to hunger, temptation, boredom, or stress, young adults were more likely to eat unhealthy food than many other populations researchers have studied.

Of the people surveyed who ate healthy diets, they did so to uphold their body image and social norms. Also, if healthy foods were easier to access than unhealthy (which is usually not the case), these students were more likely to eat a balanced diet consistently.

So what do you do?

Focus on what you put on your plate. How many natural colors can you get?

Keep a positive self-perception. You are what you eat!

Try to make at least half your plate made of fruits and vegetables.

These are basic steps to get you started on the path to eating healthy, and consequently, preserving physical health.
