What are you eating now to sustain all those calories? Have you found something new that you really enjoy that's much less harmful for you?
So I’m still figuring it all out. But I’ve been doing simple things, like swapping out stuff like cakes/doughnuts for more wholemeal carbs and having more of those. I’ve been pushing myself to have fruit/veg in my diet which I was not doing before. I’m having more nuts and plan to have more fish as well. Chicken is also a great source of protein and I can still have plenty of that compared to say as much red meat as I was having. I’m also working towards home cooking things a lot more, so for example garlic bread - I can do that from scratch and either use olive oil or butter that contain plant sterols which help lower cholesterol.
Most of my calories each day I’d say about 60-80% of them were coming from high calorie, high sugar foods. It’s definitely still a work in progress but I’m hoping smaller changes such as swapping things around should help lower the health problems I have. I’ve still a long way to go, but I’ll get there. Gonna have plenty of years to gain especially as I’m only 26.
I’ve always wanted my account to be very open about everything. So time to talk about the health issues I’m living with, as it is part of LittleChubstr.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who is potentially facing health issues. My page will always be a safe space for you 🩷
