Hello there,
hope you’re all well :D
My last post
was the epitome of FAIL. I promised to put up 2 to 3 recipes every week during
Ramadhan, and created this series which will encourage you all to go into
kitchen and experiment and improve your cooking skills. But I realized that the
food I was cooking and baking was so unhealthy. I was following @officialfooddiary
at that time and I saw how healthy she ate and it suddenly hit me, “I WANT to
eait healthy”!!
For the past
couple of years my eating habits have been really bad, I don’t eat well when it
comes to main meals, but rather concentrate on the snacks more to fill my
stomach. And that’s not really healthy. I am not doing this to lose weight or
to lose fat, I’m not saying that I’m 100% happy with the way my body looks and
is shaped. I currently weigh 48.3 Kg and my goal is not to change that, but I will
be recording my weigh throughout my healthy eating diet.
As a Persian
living in an Arabic world this is going to be hard, my grandma is not going to
like this. My diet normally is;
-
Breakfast:
I don’t like to spend much time making breakfast I’m usually half asleep when I
wake up so it’s either cereal or cheese sandwich and milk and tea (I can never
skip breakfast, if I do I get severe headaches and energy levels get so low)
-
Lunch:
because I’m a Persian living in an Arab country rice has to be included in my
lunch, if it’s not rice then it’s pasta (and that only happens like once a
month or something). Lunch is the heaviest of the 3 meals.
-
Snack:
fruits, biscuits, chocolate, EREEETING
-
Dinner:
I try to keep it simple when I’m at home but when I’m out it’s fast food, or
just whatever dinner is.
You should know that:
1.
I never eat banana’s (I can’t stand the smell
nor the taste of banana’s) I know how healthy they are but I just can’t.
2.
I
don’t drink soft drinks or whatever you call them (pepsi, 7up, Canada dry…etc)
3.
I’m
not a big fan of sea food. I do eat it when that’s what our lunch is, but if I’m
at a restaurant I don’t order sea food. I prefer chicken and beef.
I am trying
to improve my diet and balance it out. My skin needs this, my hair needs this
and my body needs this. Most importantly I want to feel healthy I know it is
going to make me a happier person.
If you wanna
see my food diary I am posting whatever I eat on my instagram which is @maryamsamii
If you want
