RE: Un camino de transformaciones...
I think I'd lose the fun if I had to weigh my food😅
Ha ha! I went through a phase of weighing my food and I can't recall it making any difference! It just made me feel stupid and ask myself "Why am I weighing my food?"
Speaking of the belly, your comment reminded me of another important factor - stress. There's been research that suggests that stress is a cause of flabber around the waist. Even if people had a healthy diet, if they were stressed, it was visible in their waistline!
It occurs to me, why haven't you talked about this on your blog?
I'm certainly no expert! My knowledge is well over 10 years old and is probably terribly out of date now!
I had a carpenter in the house last week and he suggested an App called "Yuka" to me. I don't know if it's available outside the UK but it's amazing! You simply scan the barcode and it tells you how many cancerous additives are in whatever you've scanned. It then goes one step better and recommends a healthier alternative! And all for FREE! It's amazing. And a bit scary too. One brand of gravy (for example) scores 0/100 whereas a supermarket own brand will score 60+. I hope it's available where you are and you'll see what I mean!
Thanks for the recommendations. I've been working on this for a while, but it's always good to receive reinforcement to know that I'm doing well.🙂
You're welcome and I'm sure you'll achieve your goal 🏅
I'll tell you that I've done a lot of research on this subject, and almost everything you say holds true. Perhaps the biggest change is the difference between men and women due to hormonal issues and the changes that occur at different stages of life. But even so, the general information applies to everyone.
The app you mention seems interesting. I looked around but couldn't find it; it's not available. However, there are similar apps.
As for what you're feeling, I understand. I know that in more industrialized countries, people tend to consume a lot of processed food. In my case, and perhaps in many homes in this country, food tends to be simpler, in the sense of less processed, perhaps also due to a lack of economic development. So the situation may be different in that case.🙂
In my case, I also deliberately try to avoid ultra-processed foods.
It's available in Germany too. I'm going to try it out straight away. Thanks for the tip!
What did you think of it?
I've found it interesting and sometimes a decision between a lower rated product without additives vs. a higher rated product with a large number of carcinogens is an interesting one.
I haven't been able to try out the app in action yet. My wife has been doing the shopping lately. When there's no curating to do, I'm responsible for the garden and the house. Unfortunately, there's quite a lot to do at the moment.
But soon I'll be on holiday... :-))
