Reading and Dieting

[dragondame]

It's really quiet here at work. Bossman has been appointed interim Director of our facility until a new one is permanently appointed. Since then, he has scarcely been around here. With him not here, no one is coming around to bug him, which means no one is coming around my office, either. At times it's nice because I'm getting some more reading

Upon Denver's suggestion, I started today by not eating any breakfast.

That may be true, but our bodies have not chances much since then. And it has become apparent that our way of living is harmful to our bodies, the evidence in how overweight most people are. Our bodies were not meant for a mostly sedentary lifestyle filled with processed foods. Our minds evolved quickly but our bodies did not follow suit.

This is my only second day trying this out and I'm feeling pretty good right now. Last night I had the energy to do yard work for two hours and feel as though I could keep going. But it is still too soon to tell how well this will work for me.

Not eating processed foods/not exercising are different issues. Nobody would argue processed foods and sitting around all day are good for you. But you've talked to doctors about nutrition, haven't you? Has any of them ever said skipping breakfast is a good idea? Skipping meals and overeating at night is what I thought you were not supposed to do

I have a habit of leaving certain details out. This "diet" said you could have a small amount of fruit or something with protein if you absolutely had to eat something in the morning. Once I get around to shopping, I plan on having just a banana in the morning. I don't think the point of this is to overeat at night but to make dinner the biggest meal of the day. And all the other health and food rules apply to what you are consuming.

I have made permanent diet changes and if this one works out for me, it will become permanent as well. I think a major point to this way of thinking is to stay away from eating grains in the morning, especially if you are not active enough. It also said that if you exercise in the morning, you should definitely eat when you are done to recover.

I am a bit skeptical myself but I'm going to try it to see if ir will work or not. I imagine ir isn't for everyone. People always talk about how quitting soda makes you lose so much weight. It didn't do shit for me.
