Answer 1

Oatmeal for breakfast, and a banana, monterey jack and turkey sandwich on wheat bread, and a banana for lunch, usually salad or a light baked fish or chicken for dinner.....
The metabolism works best as long as there is food going in the stomach, but the right foods.. If you don't eat in the morning, and basically are a night eater, the stomach says "ooooh let's hold on to that food because we don't know when we will get anymore" thus turning it into fat cells.... but when the metabolism is going, the weight goes down, and you are generally more happy and satiated.

Answer 2

I eat healthy. Big breakfast is key, and then the other parts fall nicely into place. I like to eat a large breakfast including eggs, toast, fruit, milk, or juice... or it can be cereal and fruit, or a bran muffin and fruit and juice. It is important to get a good amount of fiber, some complex carbs, and some fruit.

Then around lunchtime, I'm barely even hungry, so I have a snack, like some fruit or a fruit smoothie (with no sugar added). Then for dinner, which I eat early, around 5-6, I keep it really simple, not much meat... maybe only twice a week. Not pasta, but mostly a vegetable or legume-based dish, with some brown rice or some sort of high-fiber anything. Only drink water then.

Then, if I'm going to be up late, I'll snack around 8-9 on nuts, carrots, popcorn, or fruit... sometimes ice cream. Then NOTHING to eat or drink 2 hours before going to bed. This is key to wanting to wake up and eat a big breakfast. I also think it is key to staying healthy and maintaining your weight loss. Anyway... so if I'm going to be early, then I don't eat anything after dinner.

Processed foods are poison... I think it's good to stay away from them at all costs, and even if they are more convenient, overall, they are more expensive in the end, than cooking your own unprocessed meals. Seriously, I barely spend ANY money on groceries compared to when I would buy packaged foods.

Answer 3

Sadly I eat just the opposite. I'm old and already in bad health, so I eat whatever makes me happy. Sometimes this means a Baskin-Robbins banana split for lunch.

If I were young and in good health, I would definitely eat more healthy foods.

Generally, that's a great rule to follow. Great quote by the way.

And the added you imagine about some thing, the added you'll have a tendency to artwork jointly in inspite of it is you're wondering about--nutrition, events, television, etc.. i particularly hate that area of united statesa.. we are so intense; that is both those "well being-nuts" who're smitten by monitoring each and every thing or those those who do not comprehend or do not care and are smitten by eating each and every thing. Then there are human beings like me, who grew up round both kinds of human beings, and now I even do not comprehend myself particularly the thanks to take care of such issues as nutrition and consequently conflict lots. i comprehend what's healthful and good, and a tremendous variety of the time i can stick to it, yet now and again seeing commercials for an astonishing chocolate cake or some different person eating it, I commence to imagine, "i have been particularly healthful at the moment. and that i have been putting a tremendous variety of time into college. Plus I purely aced that huge exam... perhaps I deserve it." and then that piece of chocolate cake will grow to be 2 products, and boom I (someone who eats fruit & oatmeal for breakfast and salads for dinner, and runs 6 miles numerous cases a week plus ability trains) purely grow to be between the lazy individuals. it is a roller coaster. and that i ought to particularly opt to get off.
