hi dear
i was just replying a discussion and in that lot of benefits of oranges were discussed
but i eat whatever i like the taste and match my taste buds
i dont care about their advanatages and dis advantages, i just ate them
but i know ecxess of every thing is bad so i always try to be in limit (wink)
what about u, u eat anything to satisfy ur buds
or u search for their advantages and disadvantages and then decide either to eat or not
take care

My choice of food depends on what I like and not what is good for me. I never look at the advantages and disadvantages. I have not been eating a lot of vegetables since childhood and nobody has been able to make me eat them till now. Ofcourse I made sure my children learnt to eat everything and not become fussy like me.

Hi Nora
thats perfect, its the way to enjoy the meal, dont go in more details, i like that.
in our home some one dont like some vegetables
some dont like some pulses
some dont like sea food
so its alweays a problem to decide what to cook, LOL
well, u r smart, u create problems for ur mom as what to cook and trained ur kids to eat every thing, not fair

I had not created any problems for my mom. I have been brought up by my uncle and aunt from the age of one and they pampered and did not force me to eat things I did not like. In fact they would prepare both vegetarian and non veg food because they knew I would not eat the veg. See the benefits of being a pampered kid.

I used to eat what I liked and never bothered about nutrition earlier.
fortunately, I don't put on weight quickly...so never bothered to watch what I was eating either.
But now with young children at home, my husband is very particular that they have a balanced diet with proteins and all that. So, I try to make a balanced diet everyday...with lots of proteins and vegetables and fruits everyday....milk.
I don't cook separately for each member of the family...so we all have the same food.
I try to make the healthy food tasty too.

Hi Dear
see life changes after marriages
but u r lucky that u dont put weight regardless what u eat and how much u eat. i think its blessing for a lady
well ur hubby seems to be particular about intake
andseems to be promotor of balance diet and thats good, fruits and milk are very good for kids as usually in our diet dairy products are very less but sure they are essential for growth.
and its nice that u cook healthy and tasty food, hmm yummy
take care

lol...my hubby has to be...he's a pharmacologist and manufactures nutrition supplements. He made me take lots of protein when I was pregnant with my second and it turns out that our son benefitted from it. But if you saw my husband you'd think I was feeding him junk...he's tall and heft and doesn't look healthy at all.
But fortunately, our older son and I do...so that's balanced out there..and my hubby keps complaining that both of us need to put on more weight!

Hi Stella
what a response
skipping meal is not good habit
doc days , even on dieting dont stop or skip meal but just take balance diet.
and big foodie is good thing but only when u know u can burn those calories ,
but sure satisfying taste bud is achievement too
and after all experience now u learn to control ur diet, thats great
once a while such things are OK
Enjoy life and enjoy what God created for US
take care
Keep in touch beauty
bye

I eat for taste and that is the reason why I love spicy food, fried food and a lot of junk food. But I try to limit myself and not eat too much of anything.

I dont consider any benefit from a meal, as long as I enjoy the meal, but my partner alway tell me about the composition of meal, love to analyse what we should eat before embarking on it, sometime this can be very boring but she kept saying that one day, she will safe my life with her analysis. How true this is, I wait and see.

well i'm a live to eat person. i love to eat good food and will go to great lengths just for good food. i know certain food are supposed to be better for health. there are also certain food that are supposed to be really bad for me. but i believe that everything should only be taken in moderation. anything taken too much will not be good, no matter how healthy it's supposed to be. so i always go for taste. eating something just because it's healthy really doesn't agree with me. ;p

Hi Dear
Thanks for the response, and its nice that u want to enjoy the life as well as the food, and i do agree with u
that’s was we have taste bud, so we can differentiate between good and bad taste
and if good taste is available then why not go for it
and i do agree moderation is best policy in every aspect of life
Take care

yeh i eat to satisfy my taste buds and obviosuly my hunger but there do arise times where in if i am not hungry but if i feel the need to have sumthing tasty i do go ahead with that. one more reason i like to eat the most is when i am angry or tensed in this situation i either eat a lot or eat nothing at all.
i am a foodie and love to binge on junk food the most.i love eating vada pav, sev puri pani puri, dosas,etc as in mumbai is famous for junk food.

I eat for its healthy benefits. But sometimes I am tempted to eat "junk" foods. Because of its taste or presentation. But as much as possible I am eating fresh and nutritious foods.

I try to eat healthy. But at the same time it must taste good too. Some might think that isn't possible. But I believe it is. However I haven't always eaten like this. This is why I believe that healthy food can taste good. Cause if it can't there is no hope for me being healthy or losing any weight.

I like to eat for taste. However I try to not eat too much of the yummy foods too often as it is fattening and bad for health. Everything in moderation!!!

I always eat what I like to eat, I mean satifying my taste buds rather than getting into what is good and what is bad. Of course I do not go excess on anything and whenever I have gone have suffered.
Well with my kid, just need to be a little careful as she requires good nutrition at her growing age so am a little careful on that part and follow the same regime after my kid was born.

I eat for advantgae than for taste. I can even control myself even if i see my favourite receipes. AS i'm pregnant now, i eat mainly for health than for wish and happiness.Many food doesnt suit me , still i eat for the welfare of my baby.Health is wealth, so its always better to eat healthy food than tasty ffod.

Right now I don't usually think on how beneficial the food can bring me. Just like you I ate whatever I want and like without considering if it is nutritious or not. Actually I'm fun of eating a junk foods though I am aware that it brings no good to our health and our body. Maybe when I gain more age I'll try to be more consious about my diet and its nutrients it gives me. LOL!
