(5,499 posts)but I've worked out a few rules regarding food that helps me.
1. Avoid high energy foods with little roughage. They simply slow you down, make you feel slow and lethargic, and you reach for more food - usually the same sort - to get your energy levels up.
It never works.
Food that is slow to digest needs to be given time.
Those guys you see eating, with the big guts so huge they need to bend over to see what shoes they are wearing?
Still trying to digest food from a few days back.
Don't eat for 2 days, and the gut shrinks.
For me, that's meat of any sort.
2. Avoid 'quick fix' foods. They are convenient, taste good, but are designed to be like that without consideration for nutritional value.
3. Get your blood work done. It will discover any thyroid problem, prediabetes, etc.
I've gone mainly vegan. Some chicken once a week, no red meat at all.
Took some adjusting, but I'm losing weight, my diabetes type 2 is now under control, and I have more energy, and it's more consistent throughout the day.
Wish I'd worked all this out 30 years ago.
Fat shaming? More like, poor education and victim blaming.
Some people just don't see the link between peoples' weight and the junk food habits they have developed.
Calories in equals energy burnt for a healthy weight, no way around that.
