Eat well but don’t be greedy!
Eat well but don’t be greedy!
Eat well but don’t be greedy! This goes hand in hand with being active. I can show you photos of when I have been really overweight and really under weight. I used to always think I needed some sort of eating plan and I would worry about how much I was eating and was I getting the right nutrients, get so stressed then go and eat a bowl of cereal!Don’t try and over complicate things, every meal should contain protein (meat, fish, tofu, quorn) carbohydrates and as much veg as you want (careful if you’ve had a load of sprouts!). If you want to know how much then use the area of your fist as a guide, a fist of protein and a fist of carbs. Eat as many veg as you want (but like I said, go easy on the sprouts!)Without any qualifications in nutrition, I have found a formula that works: don’t be greedy! That’s pretty much it! I sometimes have difficulty finding that ‘off’ switch. Brain injury causes a lack of impulse control, injury to the frontal lobe causes you to do things without thinking about it clearly first. This lack of control can cause overeating, over drinking or doing anything too much with a lack of self-control. I have been pretty big in the past and it’s been through over eating, I have to tell myself to stop before I’m totally full these days and remind myself that I’ll survive - I just don’t have to be greedy!
