Chile Chef, I didn't think you were being disrespectful at all. I was trying to answer your question in the simplest terms possible.
It's all good Alix,Chile Chef, I didn't think you were being disrespectful at all. I was trying to answer your question in the simplest terms possible.
Actually the one meal a day is some what healthy It's fish, hamburger helper, ro what ever I feel like cooking that day when I get out of class.I'm coming late to this line, but haven't seen this addressed so far. One meal a day? And that being fast food? This leads me to believe that maybe you're eating a lot of snack food throughout the day, and I don't mean apples. You'll learn, as many of us have, that exercise is necessary to a decent lifestyle. But so is nutrition, fed to your body throughout the day. Not more calories than you can metabolize once a day.
Thank you Alix, But how is cheese close to nature?Being a student its tough to plan healthy meals. The best tip I ever heard was to keep your food choices as close to nature as possible. So...an apple and a slice of cheese is better than any kind of processed food. Like say cheez whiz on white bread.
Here is a link to Canada's Food guide. If you read it and follow the portion directions you will do well. You MUST exercise too though. Good luck.
It does and thank you very much Alix!Cheese is closer to nature than say cheez whiz, or a processed cheese slice. When I say cheese, I mean a piece of cheddar or swiss or something like that. It is basically milk that has rennet (a natural enzyme) added to it to make it coagulate (stick together) and the solid stuff is the cheese and the liquid stuff is the whey and its drained off. So...natural. Does that make sense Derek?
Choose veggies and fruits more often than not. Choose meat that is less processed (less deli meat or cured or smoked meat), choose whole grain anything as it hasn't been processed as much to remove all the fiber. The less it is processed the better it is for your body. It will satisfy you longer and give you better nutrition.
It's all good, and I'm still loosing weight Scotch, You know what was cool? My mom asked me over to shoot my nephew in color film, digital, black and white, And we live on a very steep hill which caused me in the past to be helped up the because of my health and my bad ticker, Well since I've lost 3o some pounds I actually ran up the hill, I ran faster then my nephew, mom and my step dad. So it was great and I feel darn good.All good and well, but the idea that you can attain good health merely by eating well is a myth. It's only half the formula. Exercise is essential.
I may do back packing but I want to ask the instructor about my bad heart. Although I can carry about 50 pounds of gear on me with no problem and 1 extra camera slung over my shoulder, I doughty I can hike for 10 + miles like your hubby can Wyogal!eating only one meal a day is not great for one's metabolism. Again, I recommend that since you are taking classes, seeking a degree, you take a health/wellness/conditioning course and learn from professionals. A nutrition class wouldn't hurt, either. 2 birds, 1 stone: health benefits you are seeking as well as credit for courses taken that could count towards your degree. Cheaper than health clubs and visits to a nutritionist.
But, ya gotta wanna do it...
Well back packing is a collage coarse, and you can get 4 academic credits for taking the class, You would be hiking, setting up your tent's, cooking, eating natural "earth supplied food"I was thinking that you ought to learn something about fitness and exercise (and earn college credit for it), of course, consulting with your doctor.
Thank you Wyogal, like I said I was never able to run up the hill before and everyone had to help me up and I would be "LONG WINDED" and out of breath for 4-6 minutes and then when I gained my breath back I would say Ok I'm tired and then go take a long nap, So I'm very very happy!and kudos for losing the weight and running up the hill!
I mean earth supplied food, E.G "smelly wild onions, not the non smelly kind, fish, different eatable berries, eatable leaves and so on.what do you mean by "earth supplied food?" When my husband backpacks, he does not take from the land. Very impractical.
I was thinking that you ought to try a conditioning class first. They teach you how to exercise, using a variety of techniques.
True, but Bear Gills allway's seem to find it "Ponders about his cheating ways again"well, that stuff is hard to find on a glacier. : )
