I, for one, was not bored. I know my diet is terribly unhealthy, and I need to change that. Having the topic brought up, while not exactly getting me to get started on that right away, it's reminding me of it. Plus, even just reading this snippet I've learned some stuff. And I definitely should start taking fish oil, because fish is absolutely disgusting to me and I don't think I'm getting any omega 3 from anything else.

Basically, I know nothing about food and nutrition, and the more I hear/read people talking about it, the more interested I get and the chance that I actually listen and start eating healthy gets larger.

Fish oil is good for a lot of things, most notably is the Omega 3 fatty acids because that and Omega 6 your body does not produce, you need to get it from other sources. Omega 6 is easy to get mostly because it's in a lot of things as an additive. Fish oil is good for brain stimulation, muscle and joint health, and if you're a woman- orgasms. I'm not kidding. Every day I take two multivitamins (GNC's dosage for their multis is two a day), one for active women and the other is a probiotic for digestion. I take a B complex (two benefits are it's good for stress and energy), fish oil, and Triflex for joint support and flexibility (this is recommended because of my chosen profession). I feel better on the whole when I take my supplements and I try to make sure I get a lot of good things from real food as well ( ... )

i eat around the same amount of calories. i was informed i have a quasi-eating disorder. yeesh. i just want to be a NORMAL weight. i want my bmi to quit saying overweight. if you're full and getting all your vitamins, i say what does it matter? all of this makes no sense considering all the icky things i learned last night in our psychology section about anorexia. that was nasty. so, i'm just rambling. i don't have any useful things to say :)

I just know with being vegan it's hard to get all the things you need and I worry that if I'm not eating enough then I'm not getting them.

Breakfast this morning was 1/4 cup (cooked so uncooked 1/8) brown rice, 2 tbsp artichoke and spinach hummus mixed in, and 1/4 of a pomegranate.

I am full and happy :)
