I've taken an initiative to start eating healthier along with working out extensively. I started P90X this week and began a new diet. I found that more of my choices were about saying no to somethings as opposed to portioning them. For instance, the Ben and Jerry's my roommates tempted me with the other day.
This week I limited my fast food intake and ate a spinach and sunflower seed salad with every meal at Campus Center. I haven't touched soda and am trying to limit my sugar intake to under 15 grams a day. I have done something similar to that in the past and it's really helped. I tend to get information from my mom about nutrition. She's always looking at things and telling me stuff like "Don't eat anything with high-fructose corn syrup" and things like that.
I've already seen results from my diet and exercise change. Hoping for some more.
Are you still doing P90X? I hear it is crazy intense.
ReplyDeleteWhen your friend tells you not to eat high fructose corn syrup does she tell you why? You can use your awesome Nutrition knowledge and tell her that high fructose corn syrup gets turns in to glucose - just like all other sugars. So as far as your body is concerned there is absolutely no difference, despite what the sugar cane business would like us to believe. =)
