Learning experience from my Essay
I have been researching about the Paleolithic diet for over a year, and so I always love learning new things about the diet. What I learned in my essay was how terrible my diet has been my entire life. I am definitely not the ten percent who ate my five servings of fruits and vegetables, and I am shocked that barely anyone does. I wasn't surprised when I read about how the population eats less food now compared to our ancestors, but we have more problems with diabetes, obesity, and heart diseases. I don't think I was surprised, because we eat way worse food now then we ever have. I grew up in a house with overweight parents and junk food all over. It was really hard for me to change my eating habits, and I had to take it day by day. I binged on foods, and some days I honestly wanted to go crazy. It was hard, but it was not impossible. I have added some foods to the diet but only in moderation. I always love researching about this topic, and there will always be new information. This essay was fun for me, and I enjoyed sharing it to the people that had a chance to read about it.

Katie reading your blog reminded of my child hood growing up on a farm. we had three meal a day and there always plenty of food. I am not sure but I think there was always a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table. no candy or soda was ever found in the farm house. if you wanted something to drink it was water or milk.thank you so much for bring back the good old days.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you write! You have definitely caught me with interest when you started telling about how you grew up in a household of overweight parents. I am with you on that. When I was growing up, I don't think there was a time when we didn't eat fast food at least once a day if not twice. The only thing that saved my weight were the year round sports I played. If I didn't have that, I would most likely be struggling with my self confidence, weight, and much more.
ReplyDeleteYour essay gave me a lot of information. I am right there with you, growing up not eating healthy has impacted my lifestyle.It wasn't until I had my daughter when I learned how important eating healthy is. Not saying I always eat healthy, but we have changed our habits and feel much better about it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that I am still this healthy when I have kids of my own. I want them to grow up healthy and not ever have to worry about diseases that relate to poor eating habits! It is hard to stick with it!
