#things i didn't grow up eating. i've discovered i love bok choy (delicious & easy to make)

gentle reminder that if u feel hungry soon after eating, it might be bc you’re eating mostly carbs without adding enough protein. try eating a handful of nuts or smthing alongside your next meal.

#food cw #not a shitpost #just something that has helped me to eat orderly #carbs are good and delicious and fill you up fast #but they get digested quickly #protein is an important building block & helps you feel full #carbs fill u up fast. protein fills u up to last #so enjoy both! #anyway i don't jive with people who demonize specific food groups #the point isn't to cut out 'bad' foods the point is to eat a variety! #eat the foods you enjoy but be on the lookout for new recipes/ways to incorporate a wider variety of ingredients into your diet #recently i've made it a habit to try a new type of veggie or fruit every time i go to the grocery store #things i didn't grow up eating. i've discovered i love bok choy (delicious & easy to make) #and that i'm not a fan of dragonfruit but starfruit is good! #anyway yeah. your life will be richer if you are able to explore new recipes & foods at home #and your diet will be too! #anyway the protein thing applies to Depression Diets TM too #when i'm low functioning and eating mostly potato chips or popcorn etc between real meals #i've learned to also make myself eat a handful of almonds or walnuts or smthing #it's especially useful when my mind/body are sort of on auto pilot and really relying on chemical signaling to make decisions #like *i* have a hard time telling my body to shut up we just ate #but protein helps delay that signal from getting sent in the first place
