The normal kind of food

I don't know if everybody knows this already but, I recently learned that it is not in the amount of the food you take that makes you healthy, nor in the price of food that keeps you going. In fact, I noticed that I feel better when I eat just enough in one meal and minimal but nutritious snacks in between. As you grow older, you will notice the significant changes in your dietary routine, a signal showing how your body changes overtime.

I once experienced not having the appetite at all, for days. I drank water and coffee alternately without really craving for solid food. When I tried to get me something solid to eat, It was just about a bite size and I had to stop. That's when I realized I wasn't eating healthy. I self diagnosed myself and began a special routine.

I kept my coffee number 1 on the list. I have to have it especially in the office. At home, I could just sleep it off and then I don't crave my coffee anymore late in the mornings.









I started eating breakfast. No buts, no ifs. Either I take coffee first or breakfast as long as I have them in the morning.








I reduced my coffee intake for the rest of the day and drank tea with lemon instead. In the absence of tea, I resort to water and lemon. This helped improve my appetite, the only problem is that I can't wait for lunch time to eat full meal (a minor problem I learned to deal with in the end).

I take my snack in the afternoon along with another glass of lemon tea..



I just had one "tiny, big" problem at dinner where I'm so tempted to eat as much as I want. A big NO NO.

  1. I read somewhere once upon a time that we are eating backwards.
    We should be eating large breakfast, medium lunch and small supper.
    Wish I could remember where I read that, was great advice. Followed it for a while and did lose some weight, but society dictates kind of how we eat. Supper is always the big meal, I guess you could order different.
    Good luck!
