Recommended: Effects of fast food consumption

After taking PED 116, I learned a lot about myself and how to properly take care of my body. The most interesting lesson we did in lecture was the PowerPoint about nutrition. It was really eye opening to me seeing the number of calories and fat in most restaurant meals. This class has made me more aware of the things I eat. What I though was healthy, like a salad, could have just as many calories as a hamburger when you add dressing and other toppings to it. As a college student, it is sometimes hard for me to go for the healthy food options. Sometimes I am so busy, I would go to the drive thru instead of planning ahead and packing an apple in the morning. What I learned about myself is that my eating habits during the weekend are significantly

    ...e completely healthy attempting to avoid my punishment and then there were days where I ultimately caved and failed at eating well. On those days, I followed the rules I set in place and worked out as I said I would that evening. Part of the time my boyfriend would inevitably cause me to falter by cooking a nice fattening meal, but I don’t blame him at all considering it was up to me to make the decision to refrain from eating it. I probably didn’t do as well as I could have around lunch time or dinner but I’m glad at the fact that I did keep away from sweets and snacks throughout the entire week. I was really intrigued with getting good results for this project so I tried my hardest to actually follow the program set. Even if I don’t keep with this change after the project it’s very comforting to know I CAN eat healthy when I want and I CAN workout if I need too.

    When it comes to the topic of eating healthy, most of us will readily agree that we all need to. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of how and why. Whereas some are convinced that we don’t need to all be eating healthy foods that are over priced to stay healthy, and others maintain that there is no other way. Bill Gifford talks about a proper diet throughout the book, but one chapter in particular really stands out when it comes to how diet affects our bodies and ultimately our heath. In the chapter Phil Vs. Fat, Gifford tells a story about a man who beats all odds when it comes to changing his life. Our new friend Phil was morbidly obese and had become highly diabetic.

  • Total Diet Approach: Pathway to Healthy Eating

    Throughout this position paper there are some key recommendations made by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics about how to improve the diets and nutritional status by specifically using the total diet approach.1 One key recommendation is that nutrition messages tend to be more effective when they are focused on positive ways to make changes overtime, opposed to listing specific foods that are to be avoided completely.1 Foods should also not be labeled “good” or “bad” because it can result in negative attitudes and poor judgments.1 Instead of having people cut certain foods out of their diets completely it is more effective to teach the concepts of moderation and proportionality.1 This position paper also mentions programs that already support the total diet approach such as MyPlate, the White House’s Let’s Move campaign, Nutrition Facts labels, nutrients intake recommendations, and Healthy People

    As a full-time student, full-time worker, and a young mother of three years old daughter, I don’t have time for myself. I spend all my daytime at work, and then I am taking classes at night time. I don’t pay attention to the nutrition much because I have lacked time to prepare it, so my favorite foods are fast foods. My spare is only to only do my assignments. I have never gone exercise, and I usually sleep less than seven hours for the day. Therefore, having a lack of sleeping totally affects to my energy, so I cannot focus on working as well as being in class. Therefore, after reading this required text book, I understood the importance of nutrition, sleep, and exercise are to maintain my health, so I changed my mind. Next semester, I will take only two classes at Pacific Oaks College, and I will spend more time to learn and cook healthy food. When I have time, I will go exercising with my daughter. Therefore, these new concepts are helping me to change my life
