Diet and Analysis 1
Since the beginning of this assignment, I had three goals in mind. The first goal was to cut down on pork. This is something that I knew would be extremely difficult for me but it was something that needed to be done. The first week was easy, I consumed a lot of chicken and ate some salmon one day. Salmon is very expensive unlike pork, so I cannot eat salmon regularly but I ate it nevertheless and it was a good alternative for pork for the time being. I did well the first week but the next week I started having problems. I ordered a pepperoni pizza from papa johns, and by the time I realized it I remembered pepperoni had pork in it something I should have known. It was so good, I ate it but then I got the feeling I always do whenever I eat pork. This feeling is hard to describe but it makes me feel terrible I knew then that I had to stop for my own good. From then on until about the 4th week I didn't eat any pork. The fourth week I and my girlfriend went out to eat and I couldn't help but get a bbq sandwich. Something changed when I ate it, I didn't feel a terrible feeling anymore and I realized that it's ok to eat pork just not too much pork. My family has a history of High blood pressure and by not eating pork it lowers …show more content…

This is something that I knew was going to be difficult but I'm not a quitter and I knew I was going to stick with it. The tricky thing about loosing weight for me is that my weight always fluctuates. When I started on week one I weighed 179 and I stuck with my diet for the first week and I was down to 177. The second week I stayed at 177 but I gained a half pound. It's hard to pinpoint what gave me that half pound but, since I strayed away from my diet in the week I think that was the reason. Between the third and fourth weeks, I lost one pound then gained another. I have been noticing a trend with my weight, it seems that whenever I stray away from my diet the weight starts to add

    Nutritional Science 203 Assignment 2 1. Choose a micronutrient or a macro-mineral that you would like to learn more about and why (2 points). The macro-mineral that I am interested in learning about is calcium because the body does not produce calcium, so we have to obtain it from food sources.

  • In Defense Of Food By Michael Pollan

    Over the years in America food and how it is consumed has changed, and we seem to actually be eating more unhealthy despite advances in modern science and technology. In Michael Pollan’s book, “In Defense of Food”, Pollan talks about this idea, and how food itself has been replaced by the nutrients in them. Today’s development of food science has done more harm than good, and the food industry has become industrialized. People have to avoid the new “Western diet” and need to go back to the natural way of eating healthy foods. When I arrived at college, I completely changed my diet for good after just a single week in, as I had a realization I needed to eat healthier to transform my relationship with not only food, but with my body and mind.

  • The Negative Effects Of Dieting

    Our society has helped create a definition of dieting that is not only harmful to the body but also does not work. The proper definition of a diet would be the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. The public’s definition of a diet is to restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight. Those who engage in this sort of dieting begin with the wrong mentality. They believe by undertaking a diet they will lose weight and keep it off, when in reality most people fail with diets.
