Back on the Health Kick / myLot

I wonder how many others share my challenge. I KNOW what constitutes a healthy diet. What's more, I actually LIKE healthy foods. I love fruit and veges, fish, dairy - all the good stuff. And I KNOW that my body is happier if I follow a regime of time-restricted eating - i.e., not eating till around midday, and finishing my last meal by 7pm. And I KNOW that when I eat bread my body gets very unhappy with me. Yet in spite of all this, I regularly fall off the wagon and start eating all kinds of rubbish at all kinds of hours. So today I have pulled my sox up and determined to start all over again. My first meal (at midday) was a massive garden salad with Camembert and my homemade dressing (yoghurt, macadamia oil, sesame oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, turmeric and black pepper.) I've had a mid-afternoon snack of yoghurt, nuts and blueberries, and I'm planning fish and veges for dinner. All very yummy. Hopefully, this time I'll stick to it. Watch this space.

You're not alone as I'm sure most of us know what we SHOULD do but don't always do it. Good luck with your new regime. I mostly don't eat till around 11am or later and it suits me too.

I also love healthy food but eat too many of the unhealthy ones! I sure can't wait until noon to eat! By then I have had breakfast and a snack. Skipping breakfast would bring on a migraine!

I find it quite intriguing. I can easily wait till 12 to eat my first meal of the day, without any hunger pangs. But if I do eat early, say around 7, then I am ravenous by 10 or 10.30. Go figure! Sometimes I think my body is just totally weird.

@lynnief I always think that shows that eating starts my body burning the fuel while fasting or skipping meals shuts my fuel burning down and plummets my energy. I need a snack by 10:30 after having my early breakfast. If I didn't have breakfast, like you, I wouldn't feel hungry. But I would get a migraine.

Most of the people have restrictions on eating food even fruits are not suitable for them. It is better to observer and learn how to tackle your body and food.

I am trying to eat healthy myself and sometimes I have to almost knock myself out so that I don't eat unhealthy food because when I do, while I love it when I'm eating it, always hate myself the next day or during the night when the negatives kick in. I know exactly what will happen but my cravings just don't get it.

It is hard to stick to a plan of eating at a certain time and a little of healthy and bad. That’s works best for me.

But the "rubbish" is always the tastiest.

Not only is it so tasty but very addictive. Why couldn't I be addicted to apples, tomatoes and cucumbers? It just doesn't happen. But pizza is another story?
