Lately, I don't know what's wrong with me. I try to cook a decent meal, and then by the time I sit down, I don't want to eat it. My cooking isn't horrible, since most dishes are simple (really, how hard is it to make a stir fry). I eat a tiny portion of it, and I can't eat anymore. But, I can eat jell-o, fruit, and crackers all day and never feel full. Which is probably why I never loose any weight.
And, I always seem to wake up tired. If I sleep more than 6 hours, I feel like I haven't slept at all, but if I sleep for 6 or less hours, I wake up feeling energetic, but then by around 3 or 4 I crash really bad.
Can anybody offer any insight?
MaddLlama,
One thing that helps me the most is I eat whole wheat bread, make sure it actually says 100 percent whole wheat not just whole wheat, they like to fool people into believing it's whole wheat when it's not..
Jell-o (collagen crystals, sugar and food coloring) and crackers (white flour and hydgrogenated oil) will only slow you down... it would be better to eat a mounds or almond joy for that matter...
Eat 100 percent whole wheat bread and peanuts they are loaded with long lasting energy and you will efforlessly lose weight I guarantee it...
100 percent grape juice, not the white kind, but purple, also gives long lasting sustainable energy and will cause fat to fall off your body...
I don't preach what I don't do.
I weight 155 and am 5' 10" and have weighed up to 180 but seem to hover around 155 now, which seems to work best for me.
I also eat a lot of pizza, just try to not eat the white bread, which is what makes the body fat and tired. It robs energy from the body in order to digest it, it not being a WHOLE FOOD as is sugar, not a whole food, but sugar is not as bad as WHITE FLOUR...
It will mess you up, crackers included, which is nothing but white bleached processed flour...yuck...and Crisco (hydgrogenated oil)
Fruit generally will also not give you enough energy, but I eat strawberries and they seem to be the best as far as long lasting energy goes and bananas of course...
Oranges are cleansers and not rellly that good for long lasting energy, which needs to be from whole wheat flour, whole grain rice and legumes (beans and nuts).
LDS doctrine states that whole grains are the "staff of life"...
So basically whole grains should be a basic part of our diet in order to "support life".
D&C 89: 14
All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts,
to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
