Hi, brand new to this blog, just discovered it. Have battled a complexity of eating disorders for close to 25 years.
Regarding the question posted, yes, I always consider nutritional value of the foods I eat. I study the label of any new food I might buy. Nutrition is very important to me, as I work out regularly and am concerned about not sacrificing muscle in my constant pursuit of fat loss.
When I was younger and extremely anorexic, I disregarded nutrition and my health suffered greatly. Though I continue to battle bulimia, night-eating, and anorexic tendencies, I'd like to think I'm at the very least smarter about what I choose to put into my body.
What a great entry. I have struggled with an eating disorder for the majority of my early adult years and have now become a mind-body nutrition and I think this is one of the things I preach all the time. If you eat nutrition then your body with crave less as well.
I send my hope to all and thanks for this blog. Here is my website: nutrition.jenevice.com and my blog nutritionblog.jenevice.com -- I will add you to my blogroll!
I have been working on "normal eating"..........eating what you like, eating when your hungry, stopping when your full.........I used to be too into labels and nutritional value. I am trying to make this less of a priority. I learned that I had conditioned myself to gross out over many foods that I used to enjoy and that I have trained/ tricked myself into thinking that I enjoy things that really don't taste all that great. However, I must admit that calories, fat, and carbs. are the first things I look at when I do read the labels. Looking at the nutritional info. makes the aforementioned information easier to accept and therefore makes the food not quite so scarey.
I think I still place more importance on the food being a low fat, low calorie food. Then once I am comfortable with those things then I look to the other nutritional facts. I know that some foods are "better" for you then others so I try to eat those. If I eat something that is "not good for you" then I usually feel guilty afterwards.
