And before people bitch. I'm aware that is a lot of money, but I eat 5 times a day. Coz I need to stay healthy. It's also how I prevent weight gain.
If I don't force that then I would only eat 2 to 3 meals a WEEK. Which then causes awful levels of weight gain. I've been shat on by both the GP and the biokineticist. It took almost 4 weeks of 5 meals a day before I was hungry before breakfast. Dinner 18:00. Breakfast 08:00. It took about another 3 weeks before I was hungry between the other meals. I also eat protein with every meal, be it eggs, chicken, tuna, beef steak, pork fillet etc. In a day I would have 1 meal with salad, 1 meal containing fruit. 1 meal containing veg.
As both the GP and the biokineticist told me - I had eaten badly for so long that my body just didn't know when to expect food, and as I wasn't eating for a variety of reasons my body just didn't ask for food and in general I've always only eaten when hungry.
So yes I gained weight coz my body tried to hold onto any food value it could find. So where other people need to avoid food to lose weight I needed to eat food to lose weight. I'm pretty much were I need to be so now eat for maintenance.
My next meal is in about 30min. Today that's salad and a tin of tuna. Lettuce quantity - about what goes into a small lettuce bag, plus things like a tomato, green pepper, carrot etc.
I am both lactose and gluten intolerant, so most people won't eat the way I do.
How did I end up there (bad eating habit and weight). Easy between stress unhappiness, frustration etc etc I didn't feel hungry. If I'm not hungry, I didn't eat. Over a few years it added up. I did drink a lot of water, but not so much food. A meal would fit on a side plate. If I cooked for others I would spit out food I was tasting if I wasn't hungry.
I was also told that my body will easily revert back o the old bad habits if I'm not disciplined enough with myself, so eat I shall.
And it's pissing off mr coz he's paying for most of the food. Says I'm too food oriented. I will not say that I'm not. I do carry food in my bag if he wants us to go somewhere, not for a meal.
